14	52	It recalled the tarn cots of Ko-ro-ba and Ar, the Compound of Mintar in Pa-Kur's City of Tents on the Vosk, the outlaw encampment of Marlenus among the crags of the Voltai Range.	10
14	112	Could it remember the Vosk, like a silver ribbon beneath its wings; could it recall fighting the blasts and upwinds of the rugged Voltai Range; could it recall Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, Ko-ro-ba's gleaming towers, or the lights of Ar as they had blazed that night of the Planting Feast of S...	10

4	2	I remember one last glimpse of the Sardar Range, the path I had climbed, the cold, blue sky and two snowy larls, one chained on either side of the entrance.	10
8	99	Treve was a warlike city somewhere in the trackless magnificence of the Voltai Range.	10
24	61	How was it then, I asked myself, that such a slow, awkward, clumsy creature, no matter how formidable at close range, could capture and slay an organism as alert and swift as a Priest-King? I moved Vika's limbs and rubbed her hands to see if I could restore her circulation to a more normal level.	10
26	2	I still had not determined to my satisfaction that she might be fully trusted, much to her distress, and I would take no chances with her, for I knew who she was, the bandit princess of the lofty plundering Treve of the Voltai Range.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
8	215	The bow, of course, small, for use from the saddle, lacks the range and power of the Gorean longbow or crossbow; still, at close range, with considerable force, firing rapidly, arrow after arrow, it is a fearsome weapon.	10

4	26	Yet, at a close range, I had no doubt that I could slay the beast.	10
8	481	It is dangerous, of course, to approach any but a naive, straight-running, perhaps terrified, girl at full speed, for should she dodge or move to one side, one will have to slow the kaiila to turn it after her, lest one be carried past her too rapidly, even at the margins of bola range.	10
15	7	Four times masses of tharlarion cavalry had charged forth from the city but each time the Hundreds withdrew before them until the charge had been enveloped in the swirling kaiila, and then its riders were brought down swiftly by the flashing arrows of the Tuchuks, riding in closely, almost to lance ...	10

21	114	At one time, I gathered from Dina, her father's shop had been the most famed of the baking shops of Turia, most of which are owned by Saphrar of Turia, whose interests range widely, though operated naturally, as Gorean custom would require, by members of the Caste of Bakers.	10

22	352	Then the bird threw back its head and opened its wings, and, eyes gleaming, as though among the crags of the Thentis Range or the Voltai, uttered the challenge scream of the Mountain Tarn, shrill, wild, defiant, piercing.	10
22	397	The small bow, interestingly, has never been used among tarnsmen; perhaps this is because the kaiila is almost unknown above the equator, and the lesson of kaiilaback fighting has not been much available to them; perhaps it is because of tradition, which weighs heavily in Gorean life, and even in mi...	10

8	231	I knew, further, that she could not, even were the weapon strung, draw it to the half, but further I knew that, at the range she might fire, the arrow, drawn even to the quarter, might penetrate my back.	10
14	170	Others were out of visual range, scattered somewhere on Thassa.	10
18	539	They picked up stones from the roof of the keep, and ran to the walls, to hurl them at point-blank range against the men climbing.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
11	1094	Rask of Treve, as a raider true to the codes of Treve, that hidden coign of vantage of tarnsmen, that remote, secret, mountainous city of the vast, scarlet Voltai range, had not, in these circumstances, much pushed pursuit.	10

13	34	At point-blank range the temwood shaft can be fired completely through a four-inch beam; at two hundred yards it can pin a man to a wall; at four hundred yards it can kill the huge, shambling bosk; it fires nineteen arrows in a Gorean Ehn, some eighty Earth seconds; a skilled bowman, and not an unus...	10
15	135	One group, led by a proud blond girl, scorning the others, did range far.	10

4	42	The sand kaiila, or desert kaiila, is a kaiila, and handles similarly, but it is not identically the same animal which is indigenous, domestic and wild, in the middle latitudes of Gor's southern hemisphere; that animal, used as a mount by the Wagon Peoples, is not found in the northern hemisphere of...	10
14	444	The air temperature would range from 120 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.	10
16	84	The upright posture in men delivers a similar advantage, visually, in increasing scanning range, this being useful not only in the location of prey, but also, of course, in the recognition of dangers while remote, hopefully while yet avoidable.	10

11	59	Defensive archery, directed upward from the ground, fighting against the weights of gravity, is reduced in both range and effectiveness.	10
18	52	I held the line, keeping the umiak at the beast's side, so that the hunters could thrust into it at point-blank range.	10
20	109	When game is scarce compensation can be sometimes achieved by reducing the size of the hunting group and extending the range of the hunt.	10

1	531	"Of course," I said, "it is the ring which I obtained in the Tahari, that ring which projects the light diversion field, which renders its wearer invisible in the normal visible range of the spectrum".	10
29	29	Interestingly the movement of the web in the air, as it is stirred by wind, does not activate the spider; similarly if the prey which strikes the web is too small, and thus not worth showing itself for, or too large, and thus beyond its prey range, and perhaps dangerous, it does not reveal itself.	10

1	942	At this range the arrow can sink in to the feathers.	10
1	958	The reason for these different orientations is particularly telling at close range, before the arrow begins to turn in the air.	10
1	961	They may have some effect, of course, as I have suggested, at extremely close range.	10
1	965	The parallel orientation, of course, would be more effective with kailiauk, which are usually shot at extremely close range, indeed, from so close that one might almost reach out and touch the beast.	10
1	1060	The range and striking power of the small bow, while not negligible, do not compare with that of the peasant bow, or long bow.	10

16	52	For example, very few captains are likely to get their ships within range of a derrick grapnel.	10
17	36	This, given the height of the openings, revealed by the dropped bridges, made it possible to fire at point-blank range, the shovel of one catapult containing a thousand bits of rock and metal, the shovel of the other a large boulder, weighing perhaps fifteen hundred pounds, requiring five men for it...	10
17	83	I saw quarrels discharged at point-blank range.	10
