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

[Joey]

Forgive the "road less traveled" statement. My iPad adds that at the end of every email. As for the two different communities, your very wise and your statements are far more sound and thought out than mine. I still have a lot to learn and maybe I shouldnt have tried to throw my 2 cents in. It would seem I have put my foot in my mouth and I'll take this as something to learn from. As for my comments about "worth" I wasn't saying one person personal worth is more than another's. I was merely stating it as a qualifier for a position. I wasn't trying to put us who are target archers below ca. From what I was told, the royal huntsman would have to go to gulf war and fight along side the king. For that reason alone, I agreed with ca being a part of the royal huntsman tourney. My apologies for my comments ad any offense they brought.

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

( especially since I can count on one hand the top flight archers that are that level in both communities , and not use all my fingers )
