[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Rounds and IKAC

[Patrick R]

I have no clue about the exact number of archers in Ansteorra but I think we would be surprised. During the last Fall Baronial at Bryn Gwlad we had 25 competing and another 25 people shooting for fun. That was for an event we added late to the schedule. Just my humble opinion but I think if we had more archery there would be more people participating. Sadly the Bryn Gwlad event did not have a long enough area for a royal round but it was fun. I like the idea of a competition being a fun type round to shoot, but I do not know why we could not try to get the events extended to include a royal round for anyone interested in shooting one. Presuming the site has the distance required.

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
