[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Rounds at Events

[Doug Copley]

Not as many being shot: Why?

Several years ago I remember going to an event shooting Archery, doing
thrown weapons, having fun. In the evening we would go to Court and people
would say "Oh, did you you guys just get here?" they would announce the
Archery Champion and people would say "There was Archery?"

This was all because we were put as far away from everything as possible.
Another problem with this was that we would rarely get waterbearing
support, when we put people in for awards people would say who are they and
why don't they come to events?

Over the last several years we have worked to move Archery and Thrown
Weapons closer to the main activities and Archers are now being seen and
recognized.

Now the problem is that since we are up at the front we can't setup the
range and leave it operating all day. We are being given a 2 hour time
frame for adult and 1 hour for children's shoots.

We have to be aware of the site layout and the schedule of activities.
Would it be nice to have more Royal Rounds shot . . . Absolutely!  Now we
just have to figure out how:-)

Maybe moving the range back away from the main center just a little bit
(will this hurt what we have accomplished?)? Allowing some time early
Sunday morning, 9am to 11am? Accepting, that we will not always be able to
shoot RRs at events?
