	Please remember that to shoot in the Period division you must, at 
least, be using self nocked arrows, no plastic nocks.  And be sure that 
the score sheet indicates what bonus class you are shooting.  I have also 
received score sheets that have not included the division being shot.  
Please make sure that the score sheet includes ALL the required 
information or the scores may not be counted.

IOLOUS FIRST BOOK OF CROSSBOWS
By Master Iolo 
A review by Sir Jon Fitz-Rauf
 
	If you are interested in crossbows in particular or in archery, I 
recommend RIoloUs First Book of Crossbows" by Master Iolo of Ansteorra.  
This recently completed work is an excellent general source of 
information on crossbows or  buying a period style crossbow.   It has 
good advice on improving the performance of the crossbow you now have or 
increasing your own skill in shooting.  
 
	The first part covers the component parts of the crossbow  and 
how they work.  It explains the variations among the same parts. 
 
	Next is a section on the development of the crossbow, from Roman 
times to the bullet bows  which were popular until the early 1800Us. 
 
	The next two chapters cover differences in the appearance of the 
crossbow by region and date.  This is useful for anyone wishing to match 
a crossbow to their persona.  
 
	The section on RGetting what you wantS provides helpful 
information on deciding what type of crossbow you should get based on 
your needs: target, combat or display. 
 
	The following sections cover setting up and tuning your bow and 
bolts to get maximum accuracy and provides advice on shooting technique.
 
	The chapter RWhen things go wrongS explains the mechanical 
problems that can arise with a crossbow, how to determine the problem and 
how to correct it. 
 
	The book is put together well and nicely printed.  Its fifty 
pages are full of informative diagrams and illustrations, several per 
page.  It is definitely a worthwhile addition to any archerUs library.
 
	The author, David Watson, better known in the SCA as Master Iolo, 
is proprietor of New World Arbalest and craftsman of fine medieval and 
renaissance crossbows.
