Once upon a time (in real life)(so I've heard) a King outlawed golf as it
interfered with archery. Archery was part of the defense of the kingdom.
Now I'm NOT saying that one of our kings should outlaw anything because it
"interferes" with archery, but it does show that archery is as period as
knights and rapier. (Didn't a battle at Hastings have something to do with
archery?)
Awards would be nice, but I think recognition first would be a good step.
This new award for Royal Huntsman is another excellent step in getting more
archers involved in the SCA. The more recognition, the more interest will
be generated.
