Disabled archers are of course accomodated. It arguably gives a crossbowmen
an advantage to shoot from a sitting or kneeling position because they can
steady their aim more easily. My personal thing is that it is
physiologically more tiring to have to stand rather than sit or kneel so in
a competition, I ask for crossbows to stand so that they don't have an
advantage over bows in that way. If all archers trained to shoot sitting and
could do so, I would have no problems requiring all bows or crossbows to sit
or stand, but for those using the longbow...it could be a distinct problem,
depending on the length of the bow. We do have people shoot in competitions
from wheelchairs/scooters, and I have had one archer use a little stool
because she had problems standing for long periods. There is no problem
whatsoever in that, but when there is an advantage to be had, we attempt to
keep the field as even as possible. Royal Rounds, by themselves are not
considered competition. When we shoot them at our practices, Einan, you will
see crossbows kneeling, sitting, or standing. It is only in competition that
you will see changes like this.

OK...why would sitting not be allowed? ( What about those archers who are
disabled? )
Just a question

I would have guessed that to be the case. I have not seen it written
anywhere but i imagine its like the "rules" allowed shooting in any postion
- but sitting and kneeling isn't allowed. Altho - changing bows i can
honestly see a REAL advantage in that. Especially for those that roll there
own.
Have to understand - i build about 5 to 10 of these things a month - there
are ones that catch my eye, combos that are insane etc...
To be silly tho - i can't imagine our forefathers actually made things to
make the task at hand easier and more precise. Thats just out of the box
thinking hehehehehe. <--- being silly.... :)

Just tested a fiberglass composite prod that i made..... Has 13" powerstroke
with a 3" brace. 16 total inches from back of prod to teeth.
Wanna talk about some SPEED coming off the tiller.... MAN!!!!!!! blows my
121lb competition bow out of the water.
Is pulling 130# at 13" draw, 3" brace and is 30" tip to tip.... 1690 in/lbs.
Whats better is i have put a modern trigger system into the medieval stock
complete with safety and auto catch teeth. No resetting the roller. This
order was extremely weird, but the guy said trust him... i can see why....
This is one going out east heheh. It shoots flat and i mean FLAT out past 40
yards.
Makes me wonder what would happen if while shooting an open round royal in
speed round a 50lb pull at 13" draw 3" brace - using light bolts made for
speed and flat shooting would do.... Cocking it one handed with the auto
reset catch in it would be a dream. Building another trigger system to try
that one out. As far as i can see there is no rules to changing bows mid
royal round - one bow for flat out accuracy and range and another for pure
speed. To fun.....
