M'Lady Lorelei and Friends,<br>
<br>
Wow! That skull recrection is really bizarre, but way cool.
Interesting to think about what we are doing to our own skeletons,
though our bows are so much lighter than those of the 15th century,
and of course we don't practice as often as we should. In his
Archery 101 class at the last University, Lord Janyn mentioned some
injuries like rotor cuff problems. <br>
<br>
I have a video showing an English reenactor shooting a high-powered
longbow at maximum distance. He draws to his breast, and then sort
of jumps as the string is released (why I don't know, but that's his
technique). Looks like a great opportunity for a torn ligament or a
herniated disc. <br>
<br>
Yours Aye,<br>
