I have been in medieval battle reenactments with a large variety of time
settings. A Scottish highland inter-clan warfare of the 16th century, Viking
raiders attacking a French village, and lugging a scutum all week long as a
roman legionaire for the history channel. I've done a great deal of
research in military history of the 'hands on' sort, armour, weapons and
equipment. I have met many archery buffs who have researched thoroughly and
the concensus is that they said the local language's equivalent of either "
loose" or "release".
