The Texan, 51, who cannot be named for legal reasons, spent a week observing the Central Coast house where his ex-wife and son lived with the new husband, before an attack on July 15.
He emerged from bushes near the house, aimed a crossbow at the new husband, ordered him to his knees and hit him on the head with the victim’s own tomahawk.
The Texan came off second best in a fist fight after the new husband used his laptop as a shield. Police found a rubber face mask, surveillance notes, a cooler bag with food supplies and a Central Coast map after the Texan’s arrest.
He was sentenced to a minimum three years’ jail after a Gosford District Court jury found him guilty of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
