[Ansteorra-archery] Pomp and Ceremony

[Elric Dracwin]

I think more pomp and ceremony would be a good thing. I like the honor
shields, heralding et al. that I have experienced on the Rapier field. It
will not affect the likelihood of my participation. I think it will enhance
the prestige of our archers. If we want more archers we need to make archery
look fun and a little glamorous.

I was in the archery tournament of which Ironwrym spoke. It was advertised
as a "Royalty Shoot". You had to be sponsored by a member of the royalty to
enter. It was a glorious spectacle. Doing the honor shields may not be
common for a period archery tournament but we will probably find the general
hoopla was.

  Greetings and Hi There,

  Folks, I got 2 questions (OH NO).  Which would you all prefer to see and
do: have more pomp and ceremony to conducting the Royal Huntsman or just go
out there and get it shot and over with?

  Now by more pomp and ceremony I mean like a order of march to present the
shooters to Their Highness and Crown (perhaps with personnel heralds), Honor
shield to denote who's shooting (like the heavies use for Crown).

  And, if it were more pomp and ceremony would you be more or less likel to
particpate?  For this question, let's assume that attending the event is not
a problem.

  Shoot more arrows.  You're bound to hit something.
