And hand thrown Javelins wouldn't be? (I just had a mental image of someone
throwing an AMC across a field. . . ) No, I would account the neglect of
archery to it's lack of importance to the characters and story. A bow is
difficult to conceal, and despite what you have seen in the movies, not a
one shot kill weapon, so it would be useless to Vlad. In the Paarfiad, none
of the characters would deign to use a bow, where is the honour in fighting
an enemy from a distance?
