Thus the reamining part appears as a butterfly. Behind<br>that is the target. The butterfly rotates alternately hiding and<br>exposing the target. <br> <br>Yeah, OK, but.......<br> <br>Option two, or improvement depending totally upon your degree of<br>sickness. The target is also on a wheel that rotates in the opposite<br>direction of the butterfly. Thus when the target is exposed it is NOT<br>exposed in the same position each time.<br> <br>Yeah, OK, those who shot SAAD5 realize my mind needs professional help.<br>So here's an idea I got while watching Lion King in London. Yeah, even<br>then I'm thinking about archery! I really need help!!<br> <br>In the play they had a "herd of antelope" crossing the stage. OK, so<br>they were not real antelope. What they were was antelope figures<br>mounted on rods that were attached to wheels that an actor wheeled<br>across the stage. Now the real beauty is that these antelope rods were<br>attached on the wheel in a manner that the antelope acted much like it<br>was attached to a cam. Thus the antelope actually loped across the<br>stage. Yes, the target (antelope) would not only be moving up and down<br>but also forward and backward as the wheel moved. Now I have some folks<br>in mind to push this contraption but due to SCA rules I can't use them<br>thus (I "might" miss...............on purpose) the targets would be<br>attached to rods attached to a stationary wheel that rotates causing the<br>target to move up and down AND waggle sideways at the same time. <br> <br>Then there is the three ring shot. Imagine three rings spaced on a<br>rod/board about three feet long. The rings have a piece of paper in<br>them and the whole thing rotates horizontally. The objective is to<br>shoot one shaft that passes through all three rings.<br> <br>Option on the above idea - A frame/box that rotates alternately hiding<br>and exposing the target. I was gonna do this one for this last SAAD but<br>just ran out of time to build it. <br> <br>Then there is the rotating tube that you must shoot through to hit the<br>target. Homey did this for us in the woods walk last SAAD. My sick<br>"improvement" is to have that tube rotate.<br> <br>I warned you it would be diabolical but if you have ever shot a SAAD<br>when I was MIC you all ready knew that!<br> <br>Hey! These are no worse that when Siegfried, is that Sickfried?, set up<br>a shot at Kingdom Archery Championship where you had to shoot through a<br>rebar grid!! "Hey, is that Siegfried over there selling arrows and<br>bolts?"<br> <br>cog in need of professional<br>help.......................................but having lots of archery<br>fun!<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: archers-bounces@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org<br>[mailto:archers-bounces@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org] On Behalf Of<br>fenrisulven@comcast.net<br>Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 9:14 AM<br>To: loreleielkins@aol.com<br>Cc: archers@atlantia.sca.org<br>Subject: Re: [Archers] this looks FUN!!!<br><br><br><br><br>"What else are people doing this spring and summer?
