Description
In this National Geographic News article, read about an annual event in which crossbow marksmen from two Umbrian towns in Italy match skills in a target-shooting competition that has been held for more than 350 years. This weekend the Gubbio and Sansepolcro teams meet for the second stage of the event, which includes medieval pageantry. Links to a photo gallery and related Web sites are also found on this page.
