<div>well i guess my bow could pass as a period bow. Does my arrows
all have to be period to count? </div>

Yes, your arrows have to be "period" which for most SCA archers simply
means that they simply have to move to self nocked or horn nocked
arrows. <br>

<div>And since we are on the subject or royal rounds I was
curious if I was shooting a royal round with a crossbow do the same
rules with the timed round apply? </div>

Yes it is the same 30 seconds.<br>

You can read all of the Royal Rounds rules from the Royal Rounds pages
via <a href="http://archery.ansteorra.org">http://archery.ansteorra.org</a><br>

<div>that would kinnda suck , considering the reload time and rate of
fire. Just wondering . <br>

Nope doesn't suck at all. Just perhaps a lower percentage of the
crossbowmans score is from the timed ends. Consider that the highest
Royal Rounds average in Ansteorra right now is the only crossbowman
with an average. Consider also that the highest current score in the
IKAC open division is from a crossbowman and in the IKAC period
division the two highest scores are from crossbowman. It evens out and
a practiced crossbowman is not significantly handicapped in the Royal
Rounds or the IKAC by having the timed ends.<br>
