ARCH - Champions History

Thu Jul 20 19:23:44 PDT 2000

For a long time now I've wondered why we didn't have both a light and a
heavy archery champion.  Archery can be on both combat fields.  Why not on
both sides of the crown too?

There wasn't a Royal Huntsman then poof there was.  Lightning does strike
more than once in the same place.  Why not ask the incoming Crown?  They
might say yes.

This waiting years stuff for things to happen that we know should happen has
got to stop.  It is absolutely rediculous  that folks say that's a good idea
but we better wait and see.  See what, how much older we can get before it
maybe happens?  Has someone out there found an anti aging drug and now has
all the time in the world to wait and see?  I'd much rather be told "NO get
out of my face" then to hold out hope for something that only "might" happen
years from now.

The site will support both styles of archery.  I say give it a shot.  But
that's me.
