<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Forgive the "road less traveled" statement. My iPad adds that at the end of every email. As for the two different communities, your very wise and your statements are far more sound and thought out than mine. I still have a lot to learn and maybe I shouldnt have tried to throw my 2 cents in. It would seem I have put my foot in my mouth and I'll take this as something to learn from. As for my comments about "worth" I wasn't saying one person personal worth is more than another's. I was merely stating it as a qualifier for a position. I wasn't trying to put us who are target archers below ca. From what I was told, the royal huntsman would have to go to gulf war and fight along side the king. For that reason alone, I agreed with ca being a part of the royal huntsman tourney. My apologies for my comments ad any offense they brought.<br><br>There's a good <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">reason why the other road is less traveled</span></div><div><br>On Feb 13, 2012, at 8:09 PM, "Ld.blackmoon" <<a href="mailto:ld.blackmoon@cox.net">ld.blackmoon@cox.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div><font face="Arial">greetings </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">1st , everyone please ,there is no need to get personal ,
were all archers .</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">even if we do belong to two different communities, there
is common crossover between them.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">2nd, you do neither community any good by trying to pick
fights. ( which seems to be the way the statement is written, though I hope im
wrong on this )</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">but you must be able to see that there is a world of
difference between handling combat gear while in heavy armor,and getting shot at
for maybe 30 min., </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">and placing 3 out of 5 arrows in a 4 " circle
, ( @30 yards or more ) after standing in the sun all day and walking all
day ??</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">two different skill sets, two different sets of equipment,
two different communities......</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">as for your statement, I take umbrage at the thought that
a top flight archer should be thought less of than an archer that does
neither combat nor target archery on that level, but is considered a " better "
" more worthy " archer because they are mediocre in more than one community. (
especially since I can count on one hand the top flight archers that are that
level in both communities , and not use all my fingers )</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"> how many heavy weapons archers are just as good ( or
nearly so ) with a crossbow, as they are with a longbow on the field of war ??
or for that matter a spear ?</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">without checking , I can almost wager that more target
archers are equally lethal ( or at least nearly so ) with crossbow,
longbow, and recurve </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">so your statement makes even less sense , why would a
target archer wish to " suit up " in heavy weapons armor , to settle an archery
dispute ??</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">I would hope that all championships & especially
the royal huntsman would always be won by the best archer present ,I know this
doesn't often happen, but its a nice goal ; )</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">which road would that be ? according to the numbers posted
for participation, target archery has more participants than heavy and rapier
combined so it cant be the road less traveled .</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">hopefully this is close to settled , as both sides have
expressed their opinions, and arguing helps neither side : (</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial">tired old mans opinion, yours may vary
greatly.</font></div>

<div>This is true, our value isn't at the same level as someone who skills are
more rounded in different fields of archery. But if it means that much to you,
