<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>now the key parts , 1st , is the firing line pretty
close to level ? it wont work on a hill .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>2nd, is the firing line long enough , smooth
enough, and strong enough ? ( it wont work if the 300 # guy ,sadle and wagon
sink in the sand , or the mud , etc. )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>3rd, dont pull the wagon faster than you as the
marshal in charge believes is a safe speed .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>that would be my 2 centavos worth ; )</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Ansteorra-archery] advice for 3
kings'</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I would like to ask for your opinion. The heavy
marshal and seneschal for Rosenfeld have thrown out a suggestion for 3 Kings
this year and I'm not certain that I can back this one up. I'm new at
this and tend to lean in the "over-safe" direction. Your help and advice
would be appreciated.<BR> <BR>It has been proposed that a "cart scenario"
be set up to challenge the archers. The basic task is to shoot from a
moving hay cart at assorted targets. This information is sketchy at the
moment but I'm seeing a wagon of some sort with a seat or rail. The cart
would be pulled and the archer must shoot at assorted targets.
<BR> <BR>My concern is the bumping and jostling issue. Could this
cause misfires with the arrow/bolt going in whatever direction? What
kind of safety zone will be required? Seated, standing or you
choose? How do I keep the person pulling the cart out of the danger
zone?<BR> <BR>Again, this is very much in the planning stages. I am
seeking your wisdom to see ifthis idea is even possible and can be performed
safely. I look forward to your suggestions and advice.<BR> <BR>HLy
