We expected the Kinyanpi to be much less effective at a greater distance.

This form of reticulation is calculated to have a confusing and distractive effect on swiftly moving, airborne archers. By the time a target can be identified there is usually not enough time to fire. The ground-based archer, on the other hand, the defender, has the solid earth beneath him, and he, because of his nearness to the openings in the network, or loosely linked canopy, can both track the approaching enemy and fire through it with ease and efficiency. In this respect it functions something like a window. - (Blood Brothers of Gor)
