Irish Heroes School - Events

[Chuck Graves]

Greetings,

>Archery:  IKCAC (if that is the proper acronym) competition.

IKCAC is combat archery; IKAC is target archery.  I would recommend a standard 
Royal Round.
     
>Combat Archery:  If we can come up with the targets shooting will be 
>against chivalric fighters in both individual and melee settings. 
>Individual setting will be with a protected archer and a trapped 
>fighter.  Melee will be as fought.  The difficulty here is in accurate 
>judging.  The challenge isn't the same for all.

It might be easier (for judging purposes) to use the IKCAC format.  
However, that is range shooting.  Live shooting would be much more 
challenging.
     
Shouldn't there be a test of the gentles knowledge of the Irish Heroes of old?  
After all, how can one strive to become such without knowing the history?

Aside from that, it sounds like an EXTRAORDINARY event.  I look forward to it.

Just some thoughts,
Tadhg
