Thanks Katana, I learned that the hard way years ago from a very prominant museum director! Just wanted to keep us all on our toes

All the best,

What is the issue date of that book, Flavio?
One can read in the web that crossbows in Africa are still being used today, be it a fact or not.
Here is a link with pictures taken in year 2000, also by an Italian. The model looks similar. Monky hunting, in this case.
