I don't feel that even glued muslin will last long under a ballista
bolt... it will probably go right through... you might look into 1/8"
masonite or louan(a 1/8" thick plywood...pronounced lo-ahn) they should
not add too much weight and would add all of the protection an archer
would need...you also would not have to corner block them and could put
them together with liquid nails for wood...except the hinge
