by talking about combat archery and royal rounds.

Kingdom deputy for IKCAC if you would like to start keeping the IKAC speed
round averages and send me the data then I'll start a web page for those
averages.

IKAC will probably shoot a 70 Royal Round or better and that would make them
a "Forester".  just because nobody is currently shooting at the level of
"Bowmaster' or "Grand Bowmaster" I don't see a reason to change things.  I
would like to think that part of the reason for having the various levels is
so that people can set goals and look forward to the next achievement.  This
should also include somebody who currently shoots a 200 IKAC.

thinking about?  We went over all of this two and a half months ago and I
believe it was agreed that there was little that we wanted to change and
that it was more important that we get started.  That means start keeping
track of the scores. compiling averages, and recognizing people for their
accomplishments.  If after we have been doing it for a while we think that
something is broke and isn't working THEN we can consider changing it.  The
only thing that I think we all agreed that should be changed was that we
wanted to compile average year round and not just in the IKAC season.

Saturday SOON then they might actually make it into that set of averages.
It has been two months today since the averages were first posted and I
think we will have come a long way when we see the new averages.

Round and IKAC scores.  Once I get these online it should make the
scorekeepers job easier.  Currently one of the biggest challenges is that
everyone who submits scores submits them differently and as often as not it
takes just as long to decipher them as it does to enter them into the
database.
