I am just relaying comments I have received. But I have a greater chance of
killing a Duke with my crossbow than with my sword and shield despite less
practice with the crossbow to date. His great skills are not even an issue
because I am out of range of those skills.

I am not joining the argument on the other side. One reason the archer
became so important in period was it cost less in equipment and in training
to make an effective archer than an effective knight. And a sufficient
number of archers with a sufficient number of arrows could quickly turn the
tides of battle. I suspect the knights in period did not like the archers on
the other side either, but they did not have the option of ignoring a kill.

I very much like archery in general. On the battle field I like it because I
can contribute more as an archer than as a sword and shield man (though I do
both).

My $0.02,
Caelin on Andrede
