Argh. Yer killin me. There was a place people were calling "Fort Apache" on account of the quantity of crossbow bolts found after any firefight. That was in late '69. I think it was in the Que Son Valley, but my memory might be be playing tricks on me.

What's the difference between a bolt and a quarrell anyway?
