[Ansteorra-archery] The new award

[Bob Dewart]

Greetings and Hi There,

It is indeed a grand and glorious time we, as archers, live in.  And yet,
there is so much more to be done.  HL Fearghus, the two yet named on this
list (wonder who they could be, hummmmm) and the Crown will have a mighty
task before them.  And that task is, "Who will be #4, 5, 6, etc?".

How do you pick?  One logical step is to select folks from those who have a
Kings Archer.  But many worthy people have yet to recieve that award.  If it
were up to me, I'd waive a majic wand and make all those who have the Kings
Archer, it's been given out with more or less the same frequency as a Grant
award, members of the new order.  But I can't do that, can I?

If you look through the marvolously organized mass of information HE Rumil
has provided us in the OP (I'm still amazed at that thing, GOOD JOB), you'll
see a wide range of amounts of the various awards given in any given year.
It ranges from just one for both the WSA and the Iris in the first year of
the Kingdom (also 83, 87, 91, 97 for the WSA) to the maximum of 36 Iris
given in 1995. If you look at the info yourself, you can do whatever
statisical analiyis you wish.

Anyway, let me put an end to this rambling of mine, got to get ready for
work.  For some whatever the pace is will seem excruciatingly slow; for
others too swift.  The award is for us archers.  Sooner or later, the books
will come into balance.  In the mean time, shoot more arrows, you're bound
to hit something.
