[Artemisia] Re: UPDATE: Flight Shooting Challenge at Raptor War

[Godwin FitzGilbert de Strigoil]

I have been asked about Crossbows: will they included?
YES: If people want to shoot their crossbows, I'll host two divisional 
classes for them also, same rules as stated below for period and 
non-period equipment.

The whole shoot won't take long: 3-arrows per division..... thats all it 
takes. :)
We may have a warm up at the clout range.....
