Yes, fascinating. The thing that allowed gunpowder weapons to supplant bows though was the simplicity of training a soldier to use an arquebus; armies that were of only average ability but much larger could be fielded against highly trained but far smaller bow armies and war isn't only about winning combats on battlefields but exerting political pressure and holding ground, for which bigger levy armies were better suited.
An archer has only a ranged combat effect, get into close quarters with most archer units with swordsmen or spearmen and their value collapses quickly.
Its still impressive to see that the ancient texts of arabs, north American indians and asians did describe attainable feats.

Stunning. There must be people who train rigorously for years and never attain such ability. I hope she has a successful career and happy life ahead of her after that appearance.

It was the breadth of range that was most impressive. When she sang the low notes she sounded like she could be about 30. It was extraordinary.

I laughed so hard. I loved Gary's opening paragraph!
LOL, Aoi and Sadoru were never that bad! Some miscommunications and a couple of gropes at the wrong time but he never called her a ho.
EDIT: What does it say about me that I thought the potential for a story about a love-worn girl's neuroses over tea had more potential than the war between the space marines and the Skylons?

It's in the second link in the same post. Be warned that it may not be compatible with the latest OS, so you need a workaround.
I still have it in my drive, as well as another free (also shorter and a lot less touching) visual novel called Red Shift. I can upload both to my server if the links aren't working.

A visual novel isn't something you "play" per se. It's more like reading a picture book whose story changes by making a few choices. And when I say a few, I really mean only a few.
Some visual novels don't even have any options, or options that don't do anything to the storyline.
