Hi there Tony J..As a personal assistant to the Sheriff of Nottingham (Guy Gisborne) I would hold the rule that "I am in many Camps". But... My total allegiance is to the Black Griffins. Korean..Native American....Are the many styles I embrace in bow style. Looking forward to a match real soon.

Alas the call of the WARBOW has me in its spell, but as there is a 'royal hunt' in the arvo I will be taking up the mighty bow of the east to take some 3D game....

Battle clout in th morning and 3D in the arvo, it doesn't get any better....

Oh yes... this time LMS will bring the warbows and i pitty the fool that gets in their way

hue · #35 Post by **hue** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 4:56 pm

hmmm?

warbows hey? lots of grunt, but not much accuracy. guys holding them seem to be spending too much time trembling while at full (sic) draw. this should be dead easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well guys, just over a week to go

What I'm wondering about is how people would feel about thier painted boogie boards being shot with bodkins ? I'm thinking we might allow target points in the warbow division so as to not cause too much damage to the targets. If you are thinking of shooting warbow ,to qualify you will need a medieval style elb of min draw of 70lb at 30"

We are encouraging people to wear medieval gear for the battle clout ( but its not compulsory ) but you can wear whatever you want for the 3d round in the arvo

morgan · #37 Post by **morgan** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 4:56 pm

From what we saw at yarra valley the sheilds won't get to badly shot up.
The bodkins may do some damage though.
I say unless some actually says they have a problem with them then we should proceed normal and cross that bridge if it comes up.

hue · #38 Post by **hue** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 5:14 pm

hey Morgan

when Yarra Bowmen held the "first battle clout", we had a chap who wanted to shoot small broadheads and he seemed perplexed when i said he couldn't (OH and S), that was my decision and based on safety proceedures that we must follow under our insurance policy and i don't know of any club that would allow you to shoot those on their field (aba or otherwise) but it would be interesting to see bodkins being used, that's for sure!

Len · #39 Post by **Len** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 5:32 pm

After thinking about it we will make bodkins optional and we can allow them under our insurance as the event classifies as a historical re-enacment

Our insurence most definately covers bodkins

hi morgan

i was actually talking about broadheads, not bodkins.

Hue

hardgainer · #42 Post by **hardgainer** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 7:30 pm

Bring it all on our shields stay strong....Bodkins/Broadheads/ Flaming arrows/Scorpions/Trebershay/Boiling oil/Balista.
Based on the last encounter the colours of the Rabble Force's will surley fly over Castle Mossvale. Ahhhhh plunder and looting

. ( LMS dont forget the bread)

Len · #43 Post by **Len** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 7:48 pm

Oh no! Someone rembered the imfamous bread incident of April 08 !

Trad Bound · #44 Post by **Trad Bound** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 10:20 pm

Oh Sir Len of the Chicken Pizza.
Maybe you could glue pizza boxes together.
Len maybe the rabble will give you a run for your money. Or in your case Runs for your money. Look forward to catching up for another fun day. Cheers Tony J

I haven't been on the forum lately but it seems the this event is getting a lot of chatter. I think bodkins for me and Hue, hope your bow can reach 120m.

hue · #46 Post by **hue** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 4:55 pm

Ohhhh Southern Fox

i will be shooting right next to you so you won't be tempted to sneak forward, all in the name of "reality" (whatever you think that may be, Foxy).
Morgan, will you guys be putting on breakfast, or do i have to mop up English and French slops on the field.

Hue

morgan · #47 Post by **morgan** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:01 pm

Sorry guys no breakfast, I recommend either a bakery in the main st or macca's.

As for people creeping forward - can't happen. Fixed battle formations people, with ranks moving forward periodically

Trad Bound · #48 Post by **Trad Bound** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 7:48 pm

Bakery it will have to be, arhh a good Croissant or baguette maybe a cornish pastie or a bakewell tart to get with the theme.

Macca's doesn't roll of the english or french tongue as well but you know maybe we will just have to lower our standards. Thats of course if thats possible I hear some of you say.
See you on Sunday

hardgainer · #49 Post by **hardgainer** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 10:42 pm

What is zis "French Slops" Hue

... Crisp French Baguette and Duck A'Lorange will be consumed as mercenary fare to the distant clatter of the cold gruel bowls of the English.
Weather forecast looks OK for the battle..

Trad Bound · #50 Post by **Trad Bound** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 5:45 pm

Ahh!!!!French Fries from Macca's (Yank Gourmet food)

Len · #52 Post by **Len** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 8:57 pm

We'll miss ya Nev, catch ya later in the year.
Morgan and I had a walk around Mossvale today, working out the 3D targets sites, and I can tell you there is going to be some rippers

hardgainer · #53 Post by **hardgainer** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 11:28 pm

Nev.. meant to ask did you get the Turkey Feathers ....

Len · #54 Post by **Len** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:22 pm

Sir Len of the chicken pizza here, thought I should mention that solid footwear will be a must for the afternoons Royal Hunt as the area will be wet and slippery. A hot thermos might be a good idea too

hardgainer · #55 Post by **hardgainer** » Fri Jul 11, 2008 6:56 pm

Thanks for the heads up Len...Had a pair of new Medieval boots which I will keep for the Battle.
Keep the trekker's for the Royal Hunt......Hell I have got to say it LMS..dont forget the Breadstick....Oppppps The Bread

morgan · #56 Post by **morgan** » Sat Jul 12, 2008 7:47 pm

The lines have been drawn, the flags unfurled. Hark... I hear the sounds of war

I have ordered some good weather so fingers crossed

morgan · #57 Post by **morgan** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:37 am

Hey guys, well it was a fantastic day and lots of fun.
I have posted a heap of photos of the day under my ( morgan fisher ) gallery at http://www.lms.asn.au undere the sub heading of LMS battle clout.
Turns out with the mossvale park alterations mossvale is an awesome place to do 3d hunts!

Here is just a taste

White Hawk · #58 Post by **White Hawk** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 2:33 pm

Thanks to all at LMS for a great day again! And wasn't it great to see so many kids having fun and shooting well in the 3D hunt!

I haven't seen kids having such a good time for along time, many smiling faces at the end, both big kids and small....

Gav

ps: Half a day swinging on the end of a Warbow is tiring!

Len · #59 Post by **Len** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 8:54 pm

Thats a great shot of the young girl 'peggin' the bear

Thanks to everyone who came and helped us to make it such a great day
