ARCH - Academy of the Bow

[Mills, Scott]

I think the idea of combining AoB with the Kings College is not necessarily
a bad one.  However, I don't know that this is necessarily a good idea
either.  Many or dare I say most Kings College sites that I have been to do
not have the space to set up a single archery range much less a couple of
ranges.  Also, Academy of the Rapier, Academy of the Sword get their own
events why shouldn't Academy of the Bow?

As far as combining with Lancer, Warlord, Queens Champion, etc. I don't know
that this is necessarily a good idea.  Academy/College style events are
sufficiently different from Tourney style events that they might not fit
well together.  There will also likely be people who wanted to compete in
the Champion Tourneys (which might take most of the day) who would miss out
on classes that they wished to take that are scheduled at times that
conflict with the tourneys.

I do think it is a great idea to combine Queens Champion, Kings Champion,
Kings Lancer, and Royal Huntsman to a single event.  The events like Royal
Huntsman and Kings Lancer seem to get foisted off on groups to be held at
other events that they already have on Calendar.

Having a single "Royal Champions" event with several tourneys running would
allow us to have all of the champions chosen at once and get it all over
with in one dell swoop.  It would possibly free up calendar space and
perhaps most importantly it would give the clear message that all of the
Royal Champions have equal status.

My 2-cents

How about combining AoB with one of the following:

The King's College 
The Kingdom Warlord Tournament 
The Queen's Championship Tournament
King's Lancer 

My thoughts are by combining with one of the above we as archers would come
closer with the heavy fighters and they with us. 

My way of thinking would promote a closer working relationship, especially
if all of us could set up a active work-shop not only for Combat scenarios
with archers in support of a shield wall, but also assisting various
shieldmen, spearmen in increasing their ability to thwart arrow fire.

I am sure that I might have overlooked something - give it some thought. But
I can only see good things coming from such.
