[Archers] a new crossbow

[John Atkins]

Yeah, yeah, just like a crossbowman, lots of "wind" and whining.  You
see, I was "slightly" involved in this other thing for the past three
weeks.  Perhaps you've heard of it?  We call it SAAD.  Unh hunh.  Let's
see 10 field stations, most with multiple targets and some with
structures.  Then there were the eleven shooting stations in the woods.
Yeah, that works for me.  
 
However, SAAD is now done.  I am currently making some arrows for Achbar
so I'll snap a couple of his in half to use on my "kiddie bow".
 
Stay tuned,
cog

LOL, yep I know exactly who you are talking about.  He is a very
impressive *looking* archer, at least until he starts shooting.

Now you ever going to answer that challenge you made all that *wind*
about last week??? hummm?  :)

It seems that the rest of the Kingdom is afraid of the archers of Dun
Carraig, as few will answer the challenges laid before them!! ;)

Hey everyone, this kinda reminds me of the crossbow "that guy" (he is
also the guy who, on occasion, uses a blow gun) uses at Pennsic.  His
has a rifle stock, a rear riser sight with about 65 pieces of tape on it
for ranging, split prod, and fires via a trigger.  For me the best part
is even with all this "helper stuff" he has added to this arrow
launching machine, he is still hard pressed to even hit the ground!  
 
Thanks, I'll stick with my "bent stick".
