One of these things, if you're not familiar. They're pretty functional for shooting compound bows. Clamp the jaws, pull, hit the trigger to release. It stabilizes your shots, granting more accuracy. Problem there is, there's a piece of metal attached to your hand. Would one of these be in violation of anything in the BoW?

Looks interesting.....very interesting. I'd like to see one in action...and maybe perhaps give it a try myself.

My first instinct is to say no since I'm fairly certain it isn't period, but I think the only archery restrictions as far as equiptment is type of bow, i.e. no compounds.

Quarian I am pretty sure they would veto such an item as not period. Just because such an item would not have been around generally. Anyway if you do archery drills you get pretty fast at knock, aim, shoot...we should have more archery drills.....

I would say no, for the reason everyone else has has stated also you would have that much time to set your self up and ready the blasted thing you can use these with any bows,

I didn't take into account no modern archery equipment. Wren, they're really neat tools. I think a medieval version of it would have been the thumb ring. I'll bring one to a practice you plan to attend and let you play with it. Thanks for the fast responses, guys.

Alright Ironside. Even if its not legal, I'd still like to check it just for kicks. I think I can come to practice on Sunday. Shuold be able to come to any Sunday ones from now on cept for Mother's Day and possibly the 16th of May....at least for May....unless I have to work. I got enough bday money to go to the Goo Goo Dolls concert on May 16th! WOOT! now I just need someone to go with me....

I thinks you meant to address me on that, Renell. Lol. It was actually just a curiosity, since I have little to no intention to become an archer.
