[Ansteorra] Royal Huntsman - Special Tourney Rules***

[Doug Copley]

Actually no. I ran this shoot a couple of years ago at Grand Assembly of 
Archers. The ruling was that if the person shooting the crossbow is 
completely separated from the fighter and they never actually come in 
contact at all it can be done.

Think of it as shooting at the dukes in an arcade. We had it set so that 
the people shooting were on a standard archery shooting line. We then 
had some fighters that agreed to armor up and take the field as targets. 
The fighters were not allowed to get within 15' of the archers so there 
was no chance of physical contact. The fighters also had a line on each 
side that they could not cross and then the actual boundary lines were 
outside of that.

The fighters would taunt the archers and laugh at them to try to get 
them to take shots.

The contest was a huge success! Several people decided afterwards that 
they wanted to start doing Combat Archery:-)

Sorry Dante:-)
