Thoughts/Anecdotes/Initial response to testing

Ok, following is just a list of things that were noticed in the testing, and immediately afterwards:

• Make sure to adjust your point of aim when switching from a 586"# crossbow to a 346"# crossbow, lest you shoot a friend in the cup.
• The crossbow that everyone was 'afriad of' after a few shots from it (K), was not the highest poundage, or in-lb crossbow on the field. Nor was it rated the highest in average impact rating. It did however, score a number of 7's
• The crossbow with the highest poundage, which noone was 'afriad of', actually in the end had the highest impact rating, even though it never had a 7, and noone complained about it (versus others)
• Pure poundage alone as a limiting factor, as Trimaris/etc has been doing, is obviously flawed, as a 43# crossbow was rated as the 3rd hardest hitting
• In general, all the crossbows were hitting harder than the test arrow. Only the two VERY underpowered bows didn't, and they were only rated slightly on the lighter side on the average.
• In general, bolts catching the edge of plates of armor, or off the armor, caused ouchies. There was a very big difference. It was noted by a numer of the targets, that the bolts were hitting holes in their armor that a sword couldn't. Because they were hitting gaps between plates/etc where a sword would have contacted across the two plates, and this bolt instead went right between them.
