<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I was at our event planning meeting last
night and talking about the archery competitions.  There will be several
“novelty-shoots” for target archery, but I got to thinking afterward that I
wanted to ask the experts about something.  I’m relatively new to target
(though I’ve been doing CA regularly for a few years).  </span></font><font

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>This is a Robin Hood themed event, and as
such, I was hoping to limit the target competitions (we’ll be doing target
stuff with both the regular TA stuff AND the CA stuff in the morning) to long
bow.  I know cross-bows existed in this period, but it just isn’t in the
“idiom” (zeitgeist?) of Robin Hood.  Also, there is currently a set number
of archery prizes…one for overall target archery, 1 for CA target archery, and
1 for “in-armor-actually-fighting” CA. If we have to ALSO split the TA prize
into two (one for cross-bow, and one for long-bow), it will make things a lot
harder to do.  However, I know there are folks who prefer the cross-bow,
or even shoot it exclusively for target.  How is this handled in “regular”
target competitions?    </span></font><font size=2 face=Verdana><span

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Cross-bows would have a huge advantage
over long bows for the same target and distance wouldn’t they?  It would
make sense to me that the two types of weapons would have to either have their
own competitions, or have different distances for the same target. 
Regardless of either situation, it seems like it would be exponentially
difficult, given our full schedule, to have both weapons in the target archery
competition.  Am I off-base here?  Honestly, though I have
participated in several “fun” shoots at SCA events, have set up a range, and am
an authorized TA marshal, I don’t have the competition experience to know for
sure what to do here.</span></font><font size=2 face=Verdana><span
