Here at the Jousting Hare we are constantly seeking to improve, so we graciously accept any and all feedback, even though sometimes it might be a skill issue.
Further testing on hold pending next snow in South Carolina ETA 5 to 12 years.

If anyone's interested in doing their own testing from a variety of shields/Sleds be sure to hit me up. And if you're looking for an exciting Viking event check out my good friends over at the Viking Experience.
