<DIV>You might want to be careful with the 4 - H er's. There are some in B/CS
that can shoot with our best. They are "just" 4 - H er's , but last summer one
of the top archers in the US sot with they for two or three weeks so they know
what the really good archers can do and are not afraid of them.</DIV>

<DIV><BR> </DIV> In fact I have personnally invited 4 teens from
local Venture Scout groups that have an interest. Such sponsorship was
the prize at a shoot that Lady Linet and I ran for the Ventures a while
back. The two young ladies managed to nail an apple off of Wee Willies
head at 20 yds so of course a couple of the young men had to do the
same. I am sponsoring all four in the Bowman (novice) shoot.<BR><BR>You
have good points here. I personnally would like to see more novice
shoots at various events since it gives those of less skill or experience a
chance to come out on top. This year, for example, House Arkham is
sponsoring the Warlord Bowmans (novice) Tourney with a prize of a 40# Hickory
Longbow and period arrows. I am not sure there have been any other
novice shoots in the kingdom this year. If there have been I would
like to hear of them.<BR><BR>Jaque de Aix<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BODY></HTML>
