Are you willing to disallow all recurves too? All horsebows? If anyone shows up with a bow other than one carved from a single stick of wood, is it disallowed? Or is it JUST crossbows? <div><br></div><div>Iago</div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 16, 2009, at 4:14 PM, Ken Theriot wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <div class="Section1"><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Thanks!

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 size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"> </span></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><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 style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"> </span></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><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 style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"> </span></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Any input appreciated.</span></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"> </span></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Thanks!</span></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"> </span></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Kenneth </span></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p> </div> </div><p><font size="2" face="Arial">No virus found in this incoming message.<br> Checked by AVG - <a href="http://www.avg.com">http://www.avg.com</a><br> Version: 8.0.176 / Virus Database: 270.10.7/1895 - Release Date: 1/16/2009 6:52 AM<br> </font></p><div><font size="2" face="Arial"> </font> <br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Ansteorra-archery mailing list</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="mailto:Ansteorra-archery@lists.ansteorra.org">Ansteorra-archery@lists.ansteorra.org</a></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><a href="http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-archery-ansteorra.org">http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-archery-ansteorra.org</a></div> </blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
