Hi,
A question about how to measure shooting range:
• The text states : "Measure range between the closest points of the shooting edge and the target edge".
• But the shooting range shown on the diagram 15a is not the range from the closest points of the shooting edge and the target edge...
I'm confused...

I think that may be because whoever drew the diagrams wanted to illustrate the ½ Base Width target edge rule in the one drawing.
Closest point to closest point is correct.

I have a question a little related to this that came up in a game on Friday. A bow entirely in a wood moves closer to another bow at an angle so that one corner and a small part of the shooting edge is just inside 2cm but the rest is more, (the other corner of the shooting edge is 3cm away from its target for example). Both elements are in range and in arc and I reasoned that because the rule says the enemy base edge being shot must be "entirely" beyond 1/2 base depth to block shooting, it isn't, and they can (and must) shoot at each other. In other words to shoot in a wood, oasis, dune, edifice ,hamlet or difficult hill, (no crest) one just has to move one corner of the shooting edge inside the 2cm not both. Is this how it is played?

Your interpretation was deemed the correct one in a previous discussion on this subject, Chris…ie as long as just a teeny part of the bow’s shooting edge is within 20mm of the edge of the wood it can (and in your example must) shoot. Wasn’t how I had initially interpreted the situation, but I was eventually convinced that the ‘entirely’ word was decisive…..sometimes it looks wrong, but that’s how the wording goes. (I also heard that at a DBA bash yesterday it wasn’t played as above, and it was ordained that the whole edge was required to be within 20mm of the edge). |

Thanks Martin, I am glad it has been covered before and resolved.

Thanks Martin, I am glad it has been covered before and resolved. Covered before, yes ✔️… fully resolved……possibly not! (See my end comment in previous post….) 😊 |

Closest point to closest point. If any part is within 1/2 BW you can be seen and shot at in a Woods.
