Is clout shooting legal though? For those wondering what is meant by
this term, it is shooting upward in a high arc rather than directly
shooting at a target. Usually to shoot over a wall or other obstruction.
Particularly in this case, you cannot see the target.

Because of my eyesight I have effectively been told I will not
be allowed to shoot combat archery. The reason being that I would
be unable to distinguish between a helmeted opponant and an 
unhelmeted marshal at a long range. (a hundred feet? several
hundred?) It would seem to me that shooting blindly over a wall
into (or out of) the fort should raise the same concerns.
