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

[Charles Sprouse]

Calling for squirrel won't help you Cameron, his is just as bad in my opinion.   That whole group's x-bows are modern bows, plain and simple...

Just to pile on. When I was on the line and I saw a completely modern crossbow, my inital relfex was, "WTF is that even doing... SQUIRREL!"

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.

>> PS:  [Jonathas authorized comment to follow]  In the days of the challenge 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!
