What is a Quintain?website-quintain

quin·tain   [kwin-tn] Noun

A medieval training device consisting of a target mounted on a movable crossbar. The other end of the crossbar would have a sandbag or other weight attached. The mounted knight would have to strike the target with his lance but move quickly enough to avoid being struck by the pivoting weight.
All too often, those undertaking projects are hit by their project while they are trying to hit the target. Our goal is to prevent that from happening!
