[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Rounds and IKAC

[ld.blackmoon]

greetings

while i am but a lowly archer ( very noisy though ; )

( and i have to say first that you have done wonders in the archery
comunity, but not everyone can afford to play at your level . just my
opinion  )

i would have to ask ??
does anyone have any solid numbers on how many archers ansteorra has that
shoot on a regular basis ??
as well as numbers on how many of those archers can afford the time and
money to attend those far off wars ??  every year ??

be safe, be happy, have fun
