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

Mon Feb 13 17:58:12 PST 2012

I think your reading my comments with a negative disposition and your creating a different interpretation than I'm trying to imply. This was not my intent and I apologize for any offense I have caused.

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

If there is ANYONE who thinks they are more valuable because their skill level is higher or more well rounded, I never wish to meet them.

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.
