ChaRang Valley VN, 1968. More tower guards were killed by arrows than bullets. Whoever fired those arrows were never heard and were not detected. It was only when the guard was to be relieved that it was discovered that he was dead.
We sold crossbows in the PX in QuiNhon in early '68.
You know. The PX that was walking distance, just accross the street from the Red Beach R and R center on the South China Sea. ChaRang was nine miles away from Red Beach.
