[Ansteorra] Combat Archery Challenge

[jim hodek]

It can be done as part of a championship providing loner helmet, gloves, bows 
and arrows are available for use by all participants. It has been done for years 
as part of the Royal Huntsman competition and no the targets are not moving, 
they are the IKCAC targets. It is a good way to introduce our populas and our 
archers to the combat side of archery and if they wish to pursue it then the 
formal training takes place for authorization.

Just my thoughts on the subject.

I personally was thinking of running it more as a static combat archery
against targets than an active combat scenario.
