ARCH - Archery shoot at Ice Ax

[Wilim Penbras]

A statement and a question follow.

I'll try to bring my 'A' Game but the RR standings say that's probably a few points shy of several Middlefordian's 'A' Game. <G>

Next question is about order.  Will it be a staggered shoot?  IOW,  every archer starts at the forty and it takes 3 rounds before all the stations are filled or will people just take a station and rotate through?

The situation I see that's not giving anyone a MAJOR advantage but perhaps a slight one...  I start out on the 20 untimed and that works as a 'warm up' for the 20 timed and by the time a rotate back to the 40 and 30 I've shot 24 and 36 arrows respectively to be warmed up at those ranges.  I only get 6 arrows at the actual range for practice but I'm not doing the 40 cold.  If I start on the forty and score after a six arrow warm up I'll probably do alot worse than if I've shot 30 arrows first to get warmed up.

Having only one entry point to the line will do as you intend and keep everbody on an even playing field.  Filling the line to start will give some a slight advantage.  

I'm just being over analytical. :)  Personally I'll take any advantage I can get and still only expect to have a fun day shooting.  Won't be any archery Defender's color going over my shoulders tomorrow. <G>
