Thank you for your response HL Fearghus. I know that when I run a tournament, I prefer to withold the format so that no one has advantage. It makes life more interesting that way and I love to see the look on people's faces sometimes, when they see what they need to do.<BR>
<BR>
Good to hear from you!<BR>

He at the<BR>> time chose the format he wished to see and the event it was to be held<BR>> at. For that first one we had but a short time to get things prepared<BR>> and word spread to the Kingdom. We were lucky in that the first Royal<BR>> Huntsman tourney was held at Steppes Warlord which historically had a<BR>> large number of archers in attendance. The first Huntsman Tourney was<BR>> just a IKAC shoot at the request of His Majesty. From that point on it<BR>> was left up to the Kingdom Archery Marshal to approach each in coming<BR>> Crown to find out when and where the shoot was to be held and to find<BR>> out if the Crown had any specific things that they would like<BR>> incorporated into the tourney.<BR>> <BR>> As the tourney progressed the Out going Huntsman was involved in<BR>> helping selecting format and such. But from the beginning the Crowns<BR>> have always expressed there wishes as to what they expect of Their<BR>> Royal Archery Champion. Tradition has taken hold with the expectation<BR>> that Ansteorra's Archery Champion would be at Gulf War to represent<BR>> the Kingdom not only on the field of battle but on the target field as<BR>> well if at all possible.<BR>> <BR>> Anyone wanting to be Royal Huntsman should be prepared to be at as<BR>> many of the events as possible that the Crown travels to and if not<BR>> able to attend ask someone else to to stand in their stead. Remember<BR>> you will be considered part of that Crown's enterouge.Tradition has<BR>> been that a member of the Order of the Arc d Or be asked to do this if<BR>> one is available, and if not the another archer.<BR>> <BR>> To be a Royal Huntsman one should always be prepared to shoot whatever<BR>> format that is laid before them. Traditionally the format is not<BR>> broadcast to not give an advantage to anyone and the shoot is always a<BR>> cold shoot meaning that no warm up is given.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> HL Fearghus MacKenna CAO<BR>> Hunstman to Drake and Kalee and Duncan and Larissa<BR>> On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 8:45 AM, Doug Copley <doug.copley@gmail.com> wrote:<BR>> > Is this something that could be done when the Tourney is announced so that<BR>> > the Crown does not have 20 people contacting them for the same information?<BR>> > We know for instance that the Crown really wants the Royal Huntsman to go to<BR>> > Gulf War and I am sure that there are other events they would like to see<BR>> > them at also.
