I think Jonathas summed it up perfectly. I would like to say there is One
or Two individulas that are using illegal crossbows at Pennsic and they
should not be allowed to use them. The Society says no center cut prods. I
believe these crossbows are two peice prods and are center cut as well.
Every where else in marshall activity strict guidelines are followed and if
you are using a weapon that is not allowed at the Society level you can't
use them. Just saying.
