I just, I mean, how is that even possible? You would have to really work at pulling that one off.

I'm more of a close-quarters (one-handed axe, seax, hand-and-a-half broadsword) guy when it comes to things like SCA, therefore I'm no expert... But even I know it takes a special kind of stupid to shoot yourself in the face with your own longbow.

Rule II: Thou shalt point thine arrow at naught but that which thou doth wish to impale.

That looks like a crossbow quarrel/bolt. Some crossbows launch hard enough to break defective arrows. This may have broken and stuck in his forward hand.

That arrow through the wrist was from dude shooting a broken shaft carbon fiber arrow. Happens with alarming frequency around September....

My guess, using his feet. The modern equivalent is the gangster wannabe taking a cell phone video of what his gun looked like from the muzzle end.

My second thought.

Methinks there was a lot of that going on back then.


Henry was present when William died in a hunting accident in 1100, and he seized the English throne,

PS; Yeah, it's Wiki, but the history is solid.

Picturing the guy's wife during that investigation...

Flawless, sub-moa fit and finish...all day long.
