    Hehehehe That sounds like something I may just have to take a shot at...literally. I'll have to keep a weather eye out for that nice hat as an aiming point.

    I agree with that. I love seeing how good of targets those on horses really made back in the day.

    I shall personally sound the "Commence Firing" call to unleash the thunderous volley that fells you from your mighty steed.

    Do you want to bet on whether he takes a hit or not?

    Do any of you in the "loop" know when formations will start? Will it be the typical hurry up and wait (ie - form at 5:30, stand around for an hour and then move out)?
