[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Huntsman

[Doug Copley]

William - the intruder - Thank you for joining in the discussion! I love 
hearing how some of the other Kingdoms do it.

In my mind (dangerous place to start!), I had always thought of "Royal 
Huntsman" as being a hunter. Since it is a hunter position then CA has 
NO part in the Tourney, it is TA ONLY.

However, after talking with others, I see valid arguments on both sides. 
This is why I was asking for more of a definition of what it is. The 
definition then defines what should be in the Tourney.

YIS,
Vincenti - the questioning one:-)
