    Crossbow

    It is serious, and there are many of the main stream rifle manufacturers that have cooperation agreements with the cross bow makers

    https://scherrer-mechanik.ch/deutsch.../10m-armbrust/

    And there are many prominent shooters, Olympic rifle medal winner Raimond Debevic and one time rifle world record holder has been a cross bow world Champion.

    This is a target forum and I don't think we should be posting pictures of people being shot, even in jest.

    I have a feeling that the new archery butt will remain unused - but it is the modern stacked layer type and is unlikely to come to any harm if left in the range until I get around to taking it outdoors and digging out my recurve bow case and try to remember how to fasten the limbs onto the Hoyt grip and clip the string on again!

    My wife also has one locked away in a similar hard case, so perhaps when the nice weather returns in the spring they may both find their way out onto the back lawn?

    I used to be an archer, I was on the Somerset County Squad until I gave up in 1997.
    There was not a 10m range in recurve, compound or longbow, the indoor range was 20m metric scoring, outdoor the York range was 100, 80 and 60 yards traditional scoring (9, 7, 5, 3, 1), and FITA was the same in metres metric scoring (1-10). The only time you would encounter 10m would be as a short target in field archery (the archery equivalent of HFT, my favourite discipline for which I used to use my traditional longbow)
    BTW, reference the classification comment above, the GNAS classification originated in Victorian times, highest is Grand Master Bowman, then Master Bowman, Bowman, then 1st, 2nd and 3rd class.
