ARCH - Champions History

[Bob Dewart]

Screens of netting like that on the side panels of a GP Med Liner make very
effect protection against incoming arrows.  I have a large  screen plus
Middleford has several.  Combat arrows will not go threw them and they don't
obstruct the few.  Thus no safety problems.
