[Ansteorra-archery] Need At Least Two More Kids

Yea, very bad day to shoot, but we did it anyway.

Ironwyrm got a 105 and I got a very low 32.
Considering that at times my quiver was being blown
out at a 45 degree angle from my body and at least
twice almost wrapped around me while I was shooting,
I'm surprised that I even hit as much as I did. 

Oh well, one day we will have a calm day. Or maybe
someone could host an IKCAC at an event sometime? It
nevers seems to be as windy at events as it is at the
Steppes range. I'd really love to be able to shoot an
IKCAC at AoB. I would even be willing to help set it
up and help run it.
