I am trying to follow along but i think that my email is messing up or i am only recieving those that are posted as reply all.
There are two different discussions going on right? One about the royal huntsman and another about different types and skill level shoots at the events?

We have enough loaner equipment for them even if they don’t have their own. I am sure we can come up with a prize for the winner maybe a bow if she does not have one or a set of arrows if she has her own bow.

Most novice or intermediate shooters enjoy shooting in the competition but I like the idea of an intermediate shoot. Have you considered something like a yahoo group for archery were people can post ideas for shoots and other resources we can use.

> if it were placed somewhere else, it would take longer for the heavy weapons people to get armored, then un armored, but if it were run as most other rh tourneys, ( double elim ) then the target archers would at least stand a chance to win ( even though the ikcac round does often cause a loss to some target archers , and an ikcac / heavy weapons loss together would still get many archers booted ).
>
> not all shoots need to be long range, there are many skill shoots, as well as fun shoots done at close range. also skills honed at close range take less time to move out to longer ranges, ( its also easier to learn and practice form at close ranges ) , your right seeing the look in someone's eyes , no matter their age , when they hit their 1st target ,their 1st gold, get their 1st tassel, its just amazing !!

One of the things we always try to do at Bryn Gwlad we try to have an open shooting and invite experienced as well as new shooters to enjoy an afternoon of shooting for fun. I always look and hope other events have the same option as there is only so much time I enjoy watching others in their activities. It is so rewarding to see new people try archery and become hooked on it. Sadly we do not have the space for any long shoots but we try to still make it fun.

> you miss read the posted rules, the best of the best " of the best " ( sorry couldn't stop myself ) target archers will all be dropped in the finals unless they are also combat archery authorized and equipped, as the final round ( the round that determines the winner is combat archery only ).
> as to being of a higher standard than " just a target archer " unfortunately many people from newbie to uber duke to bod members all feel that target archery isn't of sufficient standing for many things, but if you look , you will find that many many newbie's start their sca play by becoming active in archery , then some move to heavy, rapier, a/s etc. many people move to archery when they can no longer physically chance ( or financially afford ) a busted arm, leg, back, etc.
> as to fighting for the crowns while this is of great import while at war along side the other heavy weapons styles, as well as the rapier styles, the " royal huntsman " as pointed out in another post was charged with helping feed all those soldiers both at home and on the road to war ( salted / smoked meat would still go bad on a long trip )
>
> perhaps the answer lies in having both a royal huntsman and an archer general ? but that would be a discussion for those of higher stature than this simple archer , but I digress.
>
> it has been spoken of that any may drop out after the semi final round, I have done this on several occasions, not because I would see our crowns undefended, or because I stood no chance of winning, but because I could not afford the travel required ( including going to war ) and I did not feel it would be honorable to " win " knowing that at most events and the war I would have to ask someone else to " stand in " for me.
> this was a case of personal honor, and is not to imply that anyone else may not have been honorable in their filling of the position .
> but cost is also one of the obligations , as with any title / position at all levels of the sca.
>
> but , while I do not believe that this is good for either archery community, I did not intend that anyone not go to the royal huntsman tourney wherever / whenever it may be held.
>
> to the contrary , please do go, it has always been the place to go see the best of the best ( as well as those who hope to someday be among them ) compete from all over the kingdom.
> at the royal huntsman tourney , you will normally see the top flight archers compete in closely scored rounds, you will normally see many marshals working their buns off, and quite often see skill, courtly graces,honor, and even chivalry upon the target archery ranges. it's amazing what you can learn shooting alongside the top flight archers of ansteorra ( most of us like to teach ; )
>
> if our tournaments are long and boring , then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
> the mic, will always create tourneys from what he/ she believes people want to compete in , and what he / she believes they can get marshals to help him run.
> too long have we tried to make everyone happy, with a one size fits all , archers tourney for our championship titles, too long has it been common for there to only be one tourney at each event, with maybe a royal round thrown in for good measure, we should be holding novice tourneys, championship tourneys, nobility tourneys ,title shoots,prize tourneys, you name it , at most every event, as well as have a royal round / ikac range that's open all day or at least most of the day, for scores, fun, practice.
> we must make target archery something people other than archers want to come see, and hopefully even want to participate in....

Another thing to think on, if only a combat archer can win, who is to say that the next Royal Huntsman wont have the same thoughts as you? Once is precedent, twice can easily become tradition.
