Wow, that's a hard question! [In reply to] Can't Post

I'd trust any of them, but I think I'll go with Bard.

Hard decision... It could be any of them, really. At first I thought Bard or Legolas, since both are so talented at shooting dragons and fell beasts, but then, William Tell has done the "shoot the apple from someones head" thing before, so that might give him an unfair advantage, don't you think? And then of course there is Robin Hood, who is known as the greatest archer in all of England, in all his stories.

As it is, I'll call it a draw.

Welcome to TORn, as i think you're pretty new! Smile

I agree that it's hard, but - [In reply to] Can't Post

I don't know, old Robin has always had that skill with a bow.

how i think it would happen [In reply to] Can't Post

first thank you for the welcome
yes I'm as new here as spring grass but not quite as green as all that.

so this is a list of several ways I think it might go down.

#1 no one wins. No sensible Hobbit would stand still for being shot at. Most would run into the nearest hobbit hole and bolt the door.

#2 Apple? What Apple Hobbits are hungry folk. Waste a perfectly good apple? NEVER!

#3 Bard might be able to do it. he has the best chance of hitting a hobbit hiding in a hole... for a little bird would tell him the secret of where to aim his arrow.

Hmmmm [In reply to] Can't Post

Off a Hobbit's head? Hard to say, the only Hobbit I could see standing there with an apple on his head is either Merry or Pippin on a dare. I think any of them could do it really.

Now, off my head, I think I'd trust Legolas out of any of them....as long as Gimli isn't around Wink
