"Back in the 1970's and 80's a very popular event at skirmishing was breaking the board. At fifty, and sometimes 100 yards, a piece of wood or press board was suspented with a black line through the middle. At the signal the teams tried to break the board by going at that line. The rifled 69 was a great help in getting it done, good accuracy and good cutting power. Frustrating event, seldom used today."
I miss the stake event myself. Does that make me an oldtimer,....or just nuts? Green
