General discussions. Politics, scuttlebutt, whatever: you're getting married, changing jobs, got a gripe or a compliment, dying to get out with the bow etc.....

If the above calculations are correct do they indicate that you can dodge the arrow if it’s average speed does not exceed 184.9 fps.

years ago a person that will remain nameless dressed up in his Medieval Outfit and carrying a big shield challenged a few notables at the Grange Bowmen to shoot him with Rubber Blunts - who are we to turn down such a Challenge

Said Nong was dancing about easily fending off our Arrows giggling and mouthing off until Evil Dave circled around behind him and from 30 meter's carefully placed a Flu Flu Rubber Blunt to the left Hamstring, dropped him like a School Port, you should have heard the sooking ! Sorta sets the scene for what would happen in a Battle
