It is best if atlatl players bring their own targets or use an already beat-up archery target . . . broadheads destroy everything in their path, witness the targets butts at the Needwood range once hunting season comes up and hunters get out and ignore the "no broadhead" signs. Those things will clip right throught the metal chains holding the backdrop in place and the butts last about a day. But you could shoot big points right into a regular bale of hay - - is that a period target?</DIV>

I read your message too quickly, I apologize. <BR>I know the points you are talking about and they do indeed damage the targets.
This might be one of those, "at the discretion of the MiC", since it is more than likely the MiC's targets which are being shot up. While I agree that they are nice for the period look, I wouldn't encourage their use, just because they can potentially cause so much damage. Now if we had some nice period targets to shoot at.....<BR>Anyone else have thoughts on this?<BR>Lorelei<BR><BR><BR><BR></DIV></div><br>
