ANST - Invitation

[Bob Dewart]

Hi there this is Gilli,

In addition to what Tomonaga has said:
1).  You must wear either a helm or a fensing mask while shooting for score
(it's also a good idea to do it while practicing to, it's a bit differant).

2).  For your score to "count" for the Kingdom's score in the IKCAC, you
must be a paid member.  Also, the scores are NOT accumulative.  Only the
highest posted scores from three highest scoring individual archers count.
That's why you saw in the scores I forwarded we didn't have an average in
some areas, because we didn't have three seperate archers.

So, please shoot.  Don't think, "well, I don't want to bring down the
Kingdom's average."  You can not hurt it. But, you might just help it.  And
if you keep on doing it, some day your score will help the Kingdom.

Thank you Tomonaga for providing the archers and the Kingdom another
opportunity for greatness.

Gilli

Shoot more arrows.  Bond to hit some thing.

>dozen arrows.  (For those who may be thinking of the arrows:  sorry, but
>I can't do period arrowheads.  Maybe next year.)

>The range will open at 8:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday, and will close at

>want to better your own record, you have more chances in October.

>I hope to see you on site.
