Re: 2019 S.W.O.R.D. Game
Well, they got cut, just not all the way through. What do you think Odigan? Wish I had your good form :mrgreen: It's tricky! Definitely helps to use a downward diagonal strike, forcing the bottle against the stand at least momentarily to start the cut since they've so little mass to resist the impa...

Re: 3rd Age Dunedain Ranger - Complete Functional Kit Breakdown
I'm not sure how long that I've been with the forum officially, maybe 6 or 7 years? You joined June 22, 2013 @ 5:31 pm. Don't you remember? :) Greg and I joined about a month apart, being the 26th and 25th members, respectively. Even having a head start, I can't compare in terms of kit and complete...

Re: 2019 S.W.O.R.D. Game
My apologies for the delay, it's been rain, rain, rain here. The original intent with this challenge was to cut empty bottles. As you may note, however, there's a fair amount of wind where I live. So I put just enough water in them to keep them from blowing away (most of the time). Two cuts to make ...

Re: 2019 S.W.O.R.D. Game
The weather finally cleared but I had a dearth of bottles, so I used two 8" tall pieces of 2x in place of them, on either side of the brick.
In retrospect I should have gone all out and used bricks for everything.

Well, rain here for a while anyway, will get to it when we catch a break.

Re: 2019 S.W.O.R.D. Game
For mounted archery, historically and often today, one also does not look at the bow nor use a nocking point. Honestly when I switched over to many of those techniques (I use a mish-mash depending on the day) I was shocked at how little difference where I nocked on the string made - usually none, ho...

Re: 2019 S.W.O.R.D. Game
Biggest speed boost I could for sure acquire would be from wrapping a nocking point on my string...makes a WORLD of a difference over the fumbling you see here. I dunno, that was pretty fast anyway! And a topic for another discussion but I find nocking points pretty unnecessary and a relatively mod...

Re: Woodland archery - what's the longest shot you get?
Going to argue this bit a little... Historically Archers where pretty highly trained soldier that had to do it all..... They wasn't armored but every archer carried a short sword, or an arming sword, or an axe and knew how to use it extremely well... We have this romanticized vision of ranks of arc...
