[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Huntsman - Special Tourney Rules***

[Joey]

This is true, our value isn't at the same level as someone who skills are more rounded in different fields of archery. But if it means that much to you, then suit up.

There's a good reason why the other road is less traveled

If you are to be an archer who would stand at TRM side, then you should be deemed the best of the best, and you should be held to a higher standard than just being a target archer. Or otherwise put, you better be prepared to fight for them. I know that I, myself, would not be able to win this particular tourney due to my lack of interest in combat archery. But that will not not stop me from exhibiting my skills as a target archer. I, for one, will be at the tournament for the royal huntsman to test any archers skill on the field. If they cannot best me with targets then they are not worthy to protect my king and queen. I would challenge all the archers of Ansteorra to do the same. Join us in helping to select the most skilled Archer to protect our crown.
