				Hi Guys
 
had a weekend of mixed weapon training a couple of weeks ago, kukri, Fairbairn-Sykes knife, katana and archery. Finally had the space and time to give my crossbow a good workout and try the different bolts that i had on hand.
 
Here I am having a go, note fingers well out of the bowstrings path
 
 
 
 
Good shot of the target, there were other types of bow in use, 40lb recurves, an 80lb American longbow and a 70lb Mongolian Horse bow, hence all the arrows. You can see my practice bolts , all well stuck, with two white fletchings.
 
 
 
 
There are also a couple of my different types of authentic bolts there too.
 
All shots taken at 40-60 metres, and all on the target, so I was well pleased. Going back in September for a full on Gurkha weekend so will do more then.
 
Regards
 
Phil |
