[Archers] Crossbow Triggers - was: Re: Pennsic and Atlantian Archery

[John Atkins]

I totally agree with Jonathas' comment below.  In my area the single
activity that has brought more people into  this silly club is archery.  I
like to think it's because you don't have to go through a lengthy
authorization process, though I fully understand why and support it for
heavy and rapier.  I think it is also because the archery community is a
welcoming community.  How many times have I seen an archer of high skill,
i.e. Colum, Seamus, Lorelei to name a few, put their bows down to help a
newer person improve.  A serious contrast to my combat archer days where the
heavies actually played "volley ball" with a catapult "rock" on a field of
arrows (wooden shafts in those days) with the prime objective of stepping on
as many arrows as possible.

seasonal shoot cog actually out shot Jonathas.  The challenge was shooting
at a soda bottle with a weapon not usually used.  Thus Jonathas shot with a
handbow and cog shot with a crossbow!  But now days cog can still pull a
REAL bow so chooses to shoot handbow.  Hahahahahahaha  I love it that we can
joke like this and still have a deep respect for each other.  I really mean
that!

I must hang my head and admit it, I was out shot by CoG :( 
But that's ok 'cause it was a fun shoot :)

Joking aside, that is what I love about Atlantian Archery, at any given
shoot anyone *can* beat anyone else. And while everyone is as competitive as
hell everyone enjoys the fun of the sport, you don't see the pissing and
moaning that is frequent at some modern competitions.
