was to say hand-bows (long-bows, recurves, any legal SCA target hand-bow). At
Yule, our little fun shoot made it very apparent that the cross-bow was
WWWAAAYYY more accurate than the hand-bows…at least for folks who had little
experience with either. A beginner could nail a target at long distances within
the first 5 minutes of picking it up. The hand-bow folks had a much longer
learning curve (learning re-curve? Sorry</span></font><font size=2 color=navy

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><o:p></o:p></p>

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><o:p></o:p></p>

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><o:p></o:p></p>
