"The Prize of a Golden Arrow"
By Hook or Crook or Arrow
Gil vowed never again to take up the long bow.
Hosting at the Tinker's Wife Tavern is far distant from Gil's years of service with King Richard. When he learns that the May Day archery contest is a trap to capture Robin Hood, he vows to foil this plan conceived by the Sheriff of Nottingham.

He’d come well prepared for the competition. Two dozen arrows, fletched with feathers he’d chosen, shaped, then fitted into the shafts. Those were hazelwood, cut in the dawning, straight branches of old wood shaped into straight shafts that flew true. His trusty bow he’d carried for a decade, hardy yew wood, sturdy yet springy.
The bowstring was his only worry. He
