[Ansteorra] Combat Bolts

[James Crouchet]

It may work that way for you but I find I am much faster with a bow.

Accuracy depends on what you personally are better with, a bow or a
rifle/x-bow. For me that is clearly a bow but I did plenty of bow hunting
when I was younger.

The SCA's rules do put the bow at a disadvantage in range and velocity.
