>An easy to draw but expensive 80lb composite can outperform an 128lb self bow
Why would this be, doesn't the arrow have more energy?
>using cavalry as the decisive military arm
The use of cavalry varied wildly within Europe, there was no absolutist doctrine across Europe that cavalry was the decisive military arm, not sure where you got this from.

>You can't determine that without specifying the weight of the arrow, arrow type
Well apparently even the heaviest warbows at short range with the famous bodkins do little against armor, look at these nerds.

>Infantry bows are the same thing as Cavalry bows
Infantry are not burdened with riding a horse at the same time, bows are as much about the archer as the bow itself.
>I do agree with the rest of the points tho.
Why thankyou, don't expect people to agree with me on 4chan.

If you can secure strategic points like river crossings then you can delay enemy movement and supply more troops in the area. Granted these are few and far between in the steppe, but once captured they give your own raiding parties a local numerical advantage and they can clear out the surrounding area allowing you to progress to some other strategic point or build fortifications to use as supply caches. So a lot depended on those wagons and those guns.
