Rumours relating to a flat bow Marlon ( I think)  ;) If it was with a longbow then it would be an awesome distance.

ADB, you have pegged it I think.   That fellow was in again today and assured me that he was shooting 250 yards with local bamboo arrows with nails glued in the front and chicken feathers glued on the back.   Well , except for that, he's a pretty nice fellow.  Look at the way a prized fish continues to grow every year after it is caught and eaten!!

Hey, how does GRAIN weight compare with grams or ounces? 

thanks, piper

adb:
Hey, Piper

Yes... men seem to have a common issue of exaggeration! At least that's what my wife tells me!

1 grain = 1/7000 of a pound
1 ounce = 28 grams

Loki:
52 grams = 802grains
63 grams = 972 grains
74.5 grams=1,149grains
114 grams=1,759grains

I read this post and was looking forward to putting in my 2 pence worth, but after reading there's no point you've all done it already...
