Heck, the tournament marshall wasn't going to let me shoot 
>off the hand because it was quite unsafe.

So in your experience authenticity was more important than the risk of 
shooting off the hand: in our experience authenticity is more important than the 
risk of shooting  without a linen backing. 
Why do you find Regia's stance so difficult?

PS  I am one of Regia's combat archers - of nearly ten years standing.  My 
first bow exploded eventually.  It made a scary noise, and I was aware that such 
events can cause injury, but it didn't.  I have continued to shoot with 
another non-backed bow.

PPS I also fell out of trees frequently when I was a kid.  I thank my lucky 
stars I was allowed to.
