I have been reading the posts and see many good pros and cons on both sides 
of the discussion. Perhaps it is time for we archers to petition our Crowns 
to establish a new champion category. As many have said, a royal huntsman in 
period was tasked with providing game for the crown and armies.
I have talked to several of our Royal Huntsmen at Gulf War and they have a 
hard time meeting the obligations of competing in the target archery 
tournaments and being able to support our Crowns on the field of battle as 
many activities are happening at the same time.
We currently have the award of the Kings Archer for those who show their 
prowess in target archery. Perhaps a new championship could be established 
for those archers who are strictly combat archers or do both but would 
rather support the Crown on the battlefield than at the target competitions. 
Possibly call the champion the ROYAL ARCHER.

Just my thoughts on it.

What does a Royal Huntsman do? What are their duties?

IMO, the Royal Huntsman has a variety of duties.

1. The Royal Huntsman is a representative to the Crown and to the populace 
for the entire archery community, both target and combat.

2. Help work as part of their entourage to make the events go smoother and 
the courts be easier for everyone involved.

3. Stand in every court that they can attend.

4. Protect the Crown both on and off the field. Our wonderful Queen is a 
fighter and does not back down from a challenge or a fight. As such she 
armored up and took the field in both Rapier and Chivalric, even though she 
had never fought Chivalric previously. She got her first kills on the 
Chivalric field at BAM. She said that was not enough so she was going to 
also do Combat Archery, so one of my duties was to get here ready, 
authorized, and take the field with her. Unfortunately, due to an injury and 
surgery we have not been able to complete this task, yet. Our young Princess 
also plans to take the field and do Combat Archery, so taking the field with 
her and being there to help and protect the Crown is important.

5. Make plans for possible shoots and tourney formats for the next Royal 
Huntsman. Introduce yourself and meet with the Prince and Princess as soon 
after Crown Tourney as possible. Find out what they want, have a proposal 
for them, and be prepared to run it in whatever format and at whatever 
location and time they choose.

6. Always remember that although it is an honor and title you have won, it 
is also a set of duties and expectations that you have accepted. Just as the 
Rapier and Chivalric Champions are called forward before the finals to make 
sure that they are willing and able to accept those duties so shall it be 
with the Royal Huntsman tourney.

7. No matter what you hear, no matter what you do, when you are with the 
Crown you are there for them and for the populace and to perpetuate the 
Dream.

8. Anything else that the Crown may ask:-)

Are you good enough to win, are you prepared to make the commitment, and are 
you willing to sacrifice some of your time and energy to help the dream?

All archers are invited and I know of some archers that do not plan to win 
or are not prepared to make the commitment, but they still want the 
opportunity to see if they can even make it to the finals. Come join the 
fun, see what happens, see who can win the day!

YIS,

Vincenti da Murano
Royal Huntsman, Kingdom of Ansteorra
