ARCH - What If

[Pug Bainter]

baron at elfsea.ansteorra.org (baron at elfsea.ansteorra.org) said something that sounded like:

I guess that is just a matter of perspective. I see the number of events
that have fighting (rapier and/or chivalric) as being much higher per
year than the number that have archery. At almost any event that has
archery, I participate and that is a very small fraction of the events
that I attend. Where I think there may only be one event (12th Night) a
year I go to that doesn't have a tourney.

I guess I see archery as something coming up and is still fringe at this
time, not something that is established.

Ciao,
