[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Rounds - Youth?

[Rumil Fletcher]

I strongly disagree.  I make archery recommendations based partially 
on the quality of shooting, but also on craftsmanship and/or service 
to the Ansteorran archery community.  Moreover, I don't think that a 
RR score is the definitive way to measure a person's ability to 
shoot.  It is possible, even probable, that an archer could 
concentrate on RR scores to the exclusion of all else, and become a 
great RR shot, but lousy at all other formats.  Better to become 
acquainted with the person, see how they shoot under different 
circumstances, then decide.   Besides, we already have honors for 
best shot.  They are called tournament championships.

Archery awards, like all awards, should be based on an overall 
evaluation of the person's contribution to this game.  I submit that 
even a person's bearing and good example will factor into my 
recommendations for some awards.
