The model I use while it is from 1880’s, is very close to an Italian version from the 1500’s that moved in the same way. A rear site is allowed by our laws and there is nothing wrong with them. Again the rifle stocks we are talking about are the modern stocks you would see on a modern hunting rifle. The individual we are discussing is actually from the mid and his whole crossbow is all aluminum with a shoot through prod, the stock is the least of my concern…. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D'>J</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Janyn<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> Archers [mailto:archers-bounces@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>John Atkins<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, June 18, 2014 4:42 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Garth Groff'; archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Archers] Early Crossbow with Stock<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>It is worth pointing out for those who have not run into this yet. East kingdom does allow rifle stocks on crossbows as pointed out. But they also allow rear sights of a very modern design, i.e. elevation changeable, and triggers. Thus think a rifle with a prod on it. Squirrel, East kingdom Archer General, made a very specific point of pointing this out at a marshal’s meeting several years back. The individual who uses that particular bow has shot at every Pennsic for the past 5 or so years.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>C</span><span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>g<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> Archers [<a href="mailto:archers-bounces@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org">mailto:archers-bounces@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Garth Groff<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, June 18, 2014 4:33 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org">archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Archers] Early Crossbow with Stock<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Siegfried, Fen and Friends,<br><br>Thanks for the interesting responses. This has been a most enjoyable and educational exchange. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from all of you. I do have one of Siegfried's combat bows, but rarely shoot it while in garb (as some of you know, I'm doing period longbow right now, and will be adding a period "Burgundian" recurve bow if it ever gets fixed). I mainly use the crossbow for what I call "post-work therapy with violence" on an 8-yard range in my basement. My favorite target was my 25-year certificate from UVA, which I took great delight in shredding one bolt at a time.<br><br>Fen, your advice about crossbows at Pennsic is good. I've marshaled twice at Pennsic, and was aware of East Kingdom allowing rifle stocks. No problem for me, and as a "guest" in their kingdom I didn't fuss. Where I got tripped up was a having strung bow brought to me for inspection. I got straightened out on this right away, and although I wasn't completely comfortable, had no further problems.<br><br>As a matter of fact, before I go to Pennsic again (not this year), I plan to read the East Kingdom archery rules. Maybe this should be SOP for all Atlantians who marshal there. It can't hurt.<br><br>Yours Aye,<br><br><br>Mungo<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 6/18/14 12:42 PM, Fen & Michelle wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Just as a point of courtesy for those who may not know: you *will* see some riflestock crossbows at Pennsic.
