<DIV><FONT face=Arial>as many of you know, i have not been able to shoot
anything for the last few years due to severe back pain issues ( which the v.a.
seems to think they may now be able to help control, so please keep fingers
crossed )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>but in the mean time, a couple of the other arc d'ors
refitted my crossbow with a lighter prod and a thumb bar so i dont have to bend
over to cock the bow,( thank you sam and cian = ) and as today was missile
practice, i was able to shoot my 1st royal round in years = ) !!! . i only
managed blue tassel today, but with practice that should improve ;
).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>unfortunatly i discovered that retrieving bolts required
more bending over than my back liked, so until i find a munchkin to bribe into
retrieving my bolts, it seems i will only be able to shoot royal rounds, but
even royal rounds are much better than not being able to shoot !!!</FONT></DIV>
