Archery Events (was RE: [Ansteorra-archery] IKAC & IKCAC Medalions)

[Elric Dracwin]

When Wiesenfeuer did an Academy of the Bow combined with an Academy of the
Rapier, our attendance was much higher than either would have produced
alone. Though I didn't fight rapier at the time... It provided more tracts
of study though different enough to prevent too much schedule conflict.

The new calendar rules may make combination events more attractive to all
groups. Archers from all groups should recommend hosting AoB for its
"kingdom level event" benefits.

Middleford was the birth place of AoB.  Early on Middleford was the about
the only place that would put in a bid to do it.  After awhile "they" wanted
other groups to do it so as to move the event around the Kingdom.  And that
is why Middleford doesn't put in a bid everytime. We like doing it, we have
the space, the equipment, and we're centrally located.

Unfortunately, AoB is percieved by some as a marginal to unprofitable event
to do.  That is why many groups won't even concider it.

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