Perhaps I do. I am no expert on either guns or archery, not even close.
But I can point out that in practically every case, expert archers were
eager to replace them with guns, any guns, even primitive
muzzle-loaders. In battles of guns vs archers, the guns nearly always
won even when heavily outnumbered.
