[Archers] New Archery Champion

[John Atkins]

Well, I actually do have an Elk Ridge crossbow prod hanging in my
garage.  I'm looking for the "right" piece of wood to make the stock out
of.  I want a crossbow much like the beauty that Mors made.  My only
other crossbows are combat crossbows.  I guess I'll have to break some
of my arrows for my "real" bows in half to use on the kiddie bow.  I'll
give it a try though it may take some time.
 
Now in thinking about this, I do have a true ELB which I have never set
an RR average with.  It's set up for the primitive class though I've
never shot/recorded scores in that group.  Would that count?

<tongue firmly in cheek>
For all this noise about the "crossbow crowd" I can point out that the
current Seasonal Challenge leader is a crossbow shooter who has shot 6
of their 7 scores with on of those weirdly long bendy sticks, but is
still in the lead!!  Yep, I lost 4 of those 6 but then my opponent was
using their "normal" bow. Maybe it is the non-crossbow crowd needs to
step up the game a bit?!?  
<grin>

Hrumm maybe there is a challenge in that...

Yep, there is.  This is an open challenge to anyone who cares to step up
and try!!

How many arrows does it take to knock over a water filled 20oz soda
bottle from 20 yards?  The catch is you have to shoot with the class of
bow (handbow or crossbow) you have not held a RR average for at least a
full year (the last time I had a recurve average was 2008 with a
whopping 30!).  As always no practicing allowed.

Game on!  ooOOOoooh Cog, you gonna take the bait?  :>

Well now doesn't that just figure?!?!  Our new Royal Archer shoots with
a broken bow!  You know, it's time to leave those kiddie bows behind and
move up to adult equipment............  :-)
