<P>This is our Gulf War Royal Huntsman Tournament and does include a combat
archery round near to or right after the bow out. All are welcome to compete
however it requires helm or rapier mask, half-gauntlets & gloves or rapier
gloves, and twelve of the appropriate combat bolts or arrows for the chosen
style. One might think this end favors the fighters however I have actually seen
an eight year old boy defeat a Duke during the combat round.</P>
<P>So I believe the answer you are seeking is yes, the tournament does include
elements of both target and combat archery. Please note the barony has said they
do not have the combat archery equipment to loan, so should you not own combat
archery equipment yourself might I suggest you make arrangements to borrow some
prior to the tournament.</P>
<P>Our Royal Huntsman champion is expected to own and provide their own
equipment which is why we do not provide loaner gear for this tournament, but no
one really frowns upon a target archer in borrowed combat archery equipment.</P>
<P>Looking forward to seeing yourself and the noble archers of Namron Saturday
afternoon for the tournament!</P>
<P>Safe journey,</P>
<P>Ironwyrm</P>

<P><SPAN class=515015803-03122008><FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG>I have never
participated in a Royal Huntsman tourney so i wasnt aware that combat archery
was included in the shoot. Apparently i wasnt the only one who wasnt aware of
this either. I had posted the question about what the schedule was and how the
shoot was going to be to drum up some excitement and and hopefully entice
more archers to attend.....if i hadnt asked then allot of local archers i
know would have shown up and been completely taken by
surprise.</STRONG></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=515015803-03122008><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>Maybe all of the
past tourneys have always included a combat round and we should have known but
im afraid that everyone i know didnt have any idea and with the answer coming
only 4 days ahead of the event there will probably be no way for any to borrow
the necessary equipment.</FONT></STRONG></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN class=515015803-03122008><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>Maybe with this
posting there will be some combat archers who will come forth and let others
borrow their equipment but if not then there are going to be allot that wont be
able to compete.</FONT></STRONG></SPAN></P>

<DIV>I guess I'm missing a lot of chatter here keeping myself
</DIV>
<DIV>so busy lately? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There's no secrecy as to the format of the coming </DIV>
<DIV>Royal Huntsman tournament it's very basic really, with </DIV>
<DIV>a slight twist of course. We're planing a head to head,
</DIV>
<DIV>double elimination contest, any bowing out archers may </DIV>
<DIV>offer their slot to a previously eliminated competitor as
</DIV>
<DIV>a single resurrection. Final end to be determined
</DIV>
<DIV>between the last two or
three <SPAN>competitors</SPAN> remaining </DIV>
<DIV>(no deadly bye for that round). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm told up north the archers really enjoy non-five ring
</DIV>
<DIV>target shoots so I've planed about a half dozen of
my </DIV>
<DIV>favorite most complained about targets or shoots from </DIV>
<DIV>over the last ten years for the tournament. Of course
</DIV>
<DIV>there shall be a combat archery round (no loaner gear </DIV>
<DIV>will be provided) and should the last two or three </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>competitors</SPAN> all be authorized combat archers we
just </DIV>
<DIV>might finish with a combat archer's duel (is that the </DIV>
<DIV>theme to the movie "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly" I
</DIV>
<DIV>hear playing in the background, maybe not?). So
it's </DIV>
<DIV>highly recommended combat archers bring their full </DIV>
<DIV>armor kit and at least a dozen legal combat missiles.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please be advised all stated above shall be subject </DIV>
<DIV>to change depending upon the number of archers </DIV>
<DIV>actually participating and to the whims of our </DIV>
<DIV>Majesties, after all it is their tournament (but we're
</DIV>
<DIV>going to be the ones having all the fun!).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So bring your bows, arrows, crossbows, bolts, armor </DIV>
<DIV>& combat missiles and join us at the Whenever Yule
</DIV>
<DIV>Revel to compete with the best & greatest archers
we </DIV>
<DIV>have to offer for the title of next Royal Huntsman of </DIV>
<DIV>Ansteorra! Hope to see ya there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
