<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Greetings all!
<BR><BR>After reading what all of you have so astutely said, I have to say
that I <BR>believe archers, both combat and target, should be recognized as
archers <BR>period. We should not divide ourselves and say "I'm a combat
archer and am <BR>much better than a target archer" or vice-versa. It's just
like saying a <BR>rapier fighter who fights case is much better than a rapier
fighter who <BR>fights with a buckler. <BR><BR>I also believe that there
should be an award for archery as well as one for <BR>equestrian. This is
necessary because it encourages people to try out a new <BR>skill. The rapier
community was small until the White Scarves came about. It <BR>was an
encouragement, a "look what you can achieve if you try this" sort of
<BR>thing. Archery needs this. <BR><BR>Our kingdom is sorely lacking in
recognition when it comes to archery and <BR>equestrian events. We need to
recognize those who choose to apply themselves <BR>in these areas because they
were necessary in the times we recreate. Archers <BR>were necessary.
Equestrians were necessary. They were recognized for their <BR>bravery and
skill both on the battlefield and during tournaments. Why are we <BR>not doing
this? Are we not recreating the Middle Ages and Renaissance? <BR><BR>The point
is is that we need to stop bickering amongst ourselves and unify as
<BR>archers. We are a rare breed in these parts and must stand together to
<BR>achieve recognition. <BR><BR>Agree? Disagree? <BR><BR>Yours, <BR>Lady
