[Ansteorra-archery] Gulf War News

[david a. sawyer]

I am not sure what gulf war ground looks like but it may sound out of
mind .
But would if posable could anyone get to the little wagon of arrows and
use them or let them hit the ground . like I said it might be crazy but
if it's able to be done I would try it ; you asked for suggestions .
