ANST - Combat archers

[harry billings]

We (at Middleford) have tried two three and four archers shooting at one
"fighter" who was watching us and have found it hard to score hits on one
fighter (no shield) if they are looking at the group.

protecting

I will be at the War Practices that my work allowes, even if I can't make
the War.

>Yes, we do. This is why I want archers at all the War Practices.

They had a target archery war point last year, don't know about befor then.
I would like to see some thing other than a Royal Round though. Just my thing.

>Also, we're going to see if there will be a target shoot war point as well.
>This is something that will be discussed next weekend in Meredies.
