Artifact History[]
This artifact was first recorded in July 1914 during a bow competition in Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania, where one shooter had perfect accuracy in the entire competition. Agents were unable to identify the artifact at the time, but noted that the shooter was wearing an arm guard. The second incident, stretching across the American Northeast during 1974, saw people's life forces being drained after being hit with an arrow. After some attempts at tracking down the perpetrator, Agents came up empty handed, though they came across an elderly eyewitness who simply kept repeating "beware the arm guard of Pollock". Agents were able to determine the witness was the likely user of the weapon and had aged herself beyond repair, though where the artifact ended up remains a mystery.
