That is right. Bryn Gwlad held an archery tournament where you shot at
real live people. If you are shooting at real live people then that is
Combat Archery and to participate in Combat you must be authorized and
fully armed and armored to take the field as a combat archer.<br>
<br>
We held a box tournament at the Squires, Cadets, and Arcarius event
last year. The tournament format was like this <br>

In this tournament you shoot at real live people so it is combat and
you must be combat authorized to participate and appropriately armored.<br>
<br>
The Royal Huntsman Tournament has never had combat in it.<br>

hosted had between 20-25 individuals compete and an additional 20-25
shoot just for fun. The baronial event before these that was limited to
authorized combat archers only had three people compete. To borrow a
helm and combat arrows is not necessarily a problem but to state that
the winner is expected to compete in combat archery does limit the
people willing to compete for the honor of being the Royal Huntsman. <span
