An excellent idea your Excellency. And one that was done in the past
in the period we portray. The idea was bantered around several years
ago by some knights of the kingdom but not much came of it. There
might have been one or two who did but I don't recall any. <br>

<br>
<div>Good points!<br>
<br>
I believe that you are correct that the majority of TA participants do
not do CA and never will. I also know that there are CA participants
that do not do TA.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the solution may be as simple as an overall declaration that
the Royal Huntsman is:<br>
A. The Champion TA for the Kingdom, or<br>
B. The Champion CA for the Kingdom, or<br>
C. The King's representative of all forms of archery within the Kingdom
and as such must be able to perform and compete in all areas.<br>
<br>
This would be a tough pill for many people to swallow and might upset
some people that believe that it should only be TA or CA. But as a wise
person stated, it is not possible to make everyone happy.<br>
<br>
I believe that Arthur's thinking (please correct me if I am wrong) is
that he is trying to figure out the best way to make as many people
happy as possible and to have as many people involved in some form of
archery as possible.<br>
<br>
The more people that we have involved in archery the better it is for
all of us.<br>
<br>
I also agree that the Kingdom MM and the reigning RH should do their
best to work with the King & Queen to help educate them and help
them understand our portion of the SCA and what some of our traditions
and concerns are.<br>

chance to shine in the "traditional" or "standard" tourney formats.
Our fellow marshal enthusiasts are, mostly, ok with the fact that there
particular "flavor" doesn't always, or never, gets to shine. I think
we should be too. <br>
> The one thing that I think would help to increase the reception
and prestige of the Huntsmen competition is to ensure that our Crowns
understand the nature of the community, and the different flavors
within it. Not all Crowns are going to realize how few of the archers
competing in there Huntsmen tourney are CA authorized, or how long it
takes to get authorized, or the potential difficulty of getting
authorized based on marshal availability, or that one CA round in the
tourney doesn't often highlight the CA of true skill (we do CA in
melee, not tourney). Nor do they necessarily understand how much time
and effort many of the target archers put into there craft mostly on
there own, practicing, making arrows, reviewing form, studying texts on
the theory of archery, and how that one round of CA can be so
frustrating because it feels like it undermines the work they put in at
the one big chance they have to shine (most crowns don't sit and watch
a local groups archery competition).<br>

current royal huntsmen to ensure that a crown understands this part of
there kingdom. After all, it seems fewer crowns than we would like had
a passion for archery before they ascended the thrown, so we cant just
expect that they will understand.<br>
