Greetings Your Excellency, 
 
As an FYI think the combat archers are starting to come back bit by bit and our numbers are not as low as some people think. People are recovering from the down economy a few years back and I hope we will see more on the field soon. 
 
I think the main reasons we have so few combat archers is that there are so few opportunities for them to practice their craft and those opportunities are so inconveniently scheduled.  
Our kingdoms two main melee events, 3Kings and Bordermarch, have been held for the past 3 or 4 years on back-to-back weekends. I believe that does the kingdom a *GREAT* disservice. Many people will simply have to choose one event or the other for whatever reason. Add to this that Gothic War was held barely 30 days before that and basically all of our large melee events that would support good CA are crammed into a single 6 to 8 week period. Not good at all. Most armored combatants can go to their local fighter practices to hone their skills but Combat Archers must have melee events. 
 
At Bordermarch Melees this fall we had around 30 Combat archers and there was almost no overlap with 3 Kings I think that is a good number of archers for an event that size. 
 
My war company hopes to field about 10 archers at war this year. We may have a couple more. And the archers we bring will be equipped with the necessary equipment and quantity of ammo to be effective. 
 
Regards,
