Knights Study Ballistics



To keep up with the times, Count Gregorio insisted that his knights learn about ballistics and trigonometry to ensure accuracy in siege warfare.  In the top photo Sir Holden aims and fires ordinance (water-soaked spongeball) while Lady Grace and Sir Micah provide important resistance.  In the other pictures Sir Isaiah cocks the Flinger while Sir Gus and Sir Jon provide the resistance.  Sir RJ aims the ordinance and measures the angle and power of the trajectory with his hand-tooled protractor (in his left hand).  Both teams of knights achieved ranges of up to 40 feet, but rain cut short their training.
