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

[Patrick R]

I am glad it worked out well for you at your event. It does sound like it would have been a lot of fun and would love to do it at a local event. We suggested someting like that but were shot down in our attempt. Glad you had enlightened people to lead your event.

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:-)
