Interesting -- I always thought it kind of a stretch to have 4-5 bow attack routines by a high level fighter in a 6 second span... I guess such is possible.
And a 150 lb bow must be a royal pain to string even if you can shoot it (properly).

compound bows you still have to be able to pull the draw-weight back, it just has a let-off (50%-80% usually)...if you can't pull back 70lbs, you still can't shoot it. and they're more accurate to the average shooter since you aren't having to hold 70+ lbs back as you aim.
if you want to knock on the hunters that use archery, choose the guys who use crossbows that aren't even handicapped...they just buy a crank and crank it back and it's like shooting a small caliber rifle.

I wonder how accurate she is
Toward the end you see a target hanging from a string in front of the blankets. She is hitting it almost every time.
She only hits it when you hear the harsh, dull sound. Otherwise it's moving because of the force at which she is hitting the blanket.

People who shoot warbows practice a completely different type of archery to hunting or target, the aim is to group arrows on the ground at set long ranges this type of shoot is a Clout or Hoyles shoot.
Drawing and firing a longbow is a single fluid motion, you don't hold and aim you release when you hit full draw. The heavisest longbow I have known anyone use for target shooting is 80lbs most archers shooting Victorian pattern longbows (the cheaper and more reliable miltiple wood laminated bow rather than a Self Yew bow made of a single yew branch) settle somewhere in the 45-70 range.

LOL!
Longbows historically varied in draw weights anywhere from around 80 lbs at full draw of around 30 inches to around 150 lbs by some estimates.
The English longbows tended to be heavier draw weights and the English and Welsh bowmen had a distinct method of drawing the bow which is vastly different than modern bow technique. To draw those bows with the huge draw weights (over 80 lbs) it was necessary to use your whole body rather than your arm pulling the string as you would with a "modern" bow. I don't care how strong you are, drawing a 150 lb bow is a tough piece of work. I'm not sure I could even manage it myself to be honest and I'm a pretty big, reasonably strong guy and in good archery shape from drawing my "pussy" compound bow of 70 lbs.
The bow depicted is probably around 20 lb draw weight at full draw - which they don't really reach on most shots either heh.
As for why compound bows are "preferred", it's about the "letoff" issue at full draw which in a modern compound bow is around 75% - so if it takes 70 lbs to draw the bow, you can hold it at full draw with only ~17.5 lbs of force. This makes it much easier to aim. Further, modern compound bows are fitted with peep sights - a ring in the string which forms the rear aperture, and pins on the riser which form the front post - and they're lined up just like a rifle.
With all of that said, bow technique still matters even with a compound.

Button release, kissers, sights, let off, sure you need technique but compared to any other type of archery, even competition recurve its pretty easy. I just have never seen the appeal at all. As for warbow shooting you also draw the string right back to the side of your head by your ear rather than the more standard lip draw. It's all about shoulder/back strength actual longbowmen were pretty deformed with huge slabs of shoulder muscle that made them hunch.
