[MR] Pennsic Archery Moving to a New Location

[Garth G. Groff]

Friends,

And what of  those holes in the top of Mt. Eislinn, supposedly caused by 
underground mining subsidence (that was the explanation last year)? It 
was interesting to shoot over, and then walk around, pits surrounded by 
little more than yellow caution tape that might have gone most of the 
way to China. =-O

Kind regards,


Mungo Napier, Archer of Mallard Lodge
