[Archers] more on the Merry Rose

[Garth Groff]

M'Lady Lorelei and Friends,

Wow! That skull recrection is really bizarre, but way cool. Interesting 
to think about what we are doing to our own skeletons, though our bows 
are so much lighter than those of the 15th century, and of course we 
don't practice as often as we should. In his Archery 101 class at the 
last University, Lord Janyn mentioned some injuries like rotor cuff 
problems.

I have a video showing an English reenactor shooting a high-powered 
longbow at maximum distance. He draws to his breast, and then sort of 
jumps as the string is released (why I don't know, but that's his 
technique). Looks like a great opportunity for a torn ligament or a 
herniated disc.

Yours Aye,


Mungo
