  Greetings all! 

  After reading what all of you have so astutely said, I have to say that I 
  believe archers, both combat and target, should be recognized as archers 
  period. We should not divide ourselves and say "I'm a combat archer and am 
  much better than a target archer" or vice-versa. It's just like saying a 
  rapier fighter who fights case is much better than a rapier fighter who 
  fights with a buckler. 

  I also believe that there should be an award for archery as well as one for 
  equestrian. This is necessary because it encourages people to try out a new 
  skill. The rapier community was small until the White Scarves came about. It 
  was an encouragement, a "look what you can achieve if you try this" sort of 
  thing. Archery needs this. 

  Our kingdom is sorely lacking in recognition when it comes to archery and 
  equestrian events. We need to recognize those who choose to apply themselves 
  in these areas because they were necessary in the times we recreate. Archers 
  were necessary. Equestrians were necessary. They were recognized for their 
  bravery and skill both on the battlefield and during tournaments. Why are we 
  not doing this? Are we not recreating the Middle Ages and Renaissance? 

  The point is is that we need to stop bickering amongst ourselves and unify as 
  archers. We are a rare breed in these parts and must stand together to 
  achieve recognition. 

  Agree? Disagree? 

  Yours, 
  Lady Eleanor Cleavely
