[Ansteorra-archery] A new tournament at AoB

[Sylvrfalcn at aol.com]

Since we're not shooting the Royal Huntsman tourney at AoB, we've decided to 
trot out a horse of a different color. Think for a minute about who in the 
medieval period would be the exact opposite, the antithesis, of the Royal 
Huntsman. Why, the Champion of the Poachers of course! Poachers were common in 
period, and many were excellent bowmen, in spite of their precarious legal status. 
So, just for grins, we will be holding a tournament, shot exclusively at animal 
targets, to pick the Champion of the Poachers. Should be a lot of fun, and oh 
by the way, one of the prizes for that shoot will be a handcarved wooden long 
bow, with a hand twisted Flemish string, made by yours truly. If you're 
wondering how it shoots, just take a gander at the IKAC period longbow division 
rankings :-)

Yours in Service,
