<div><br></div>If we take it as a given that both sides of the archery
community, target and combat, are both of equal value, then it could be said
that combat archery has been given the shaft (buh dum bum) for a number of
years. In most other RH tourneys, there was use of CA equipment, but the
final round was target archery. <br><br><restating Karl's argument

by someone who you may have just defeated. So it really wouldnt

faceshot, get a kill shot on Uber Duke past his shield while he's running you
down and were the greatest archer since Ghengis Kahn, you still WILL NOT WIN
unless you can shoot target archery in the final rounds.
<br><end><br><br>This one time, the roles are reversed.
Personally, I love both aspects of archery so I don't care much which format
is in the final rounds. I do like the idea that the archery champion of
our Kingdom can represent BOTH sides of the community. That doesn't mean
there is anything inherently wrong with people who do only target archery or
only combat archery, but if we are going to have one person to champion all of
archery, shouldn't it be someone who is at least familiar with both?
After all, this is not just a tourney to be won for personal glory, but a job
with responsibilities to the Crown and the rest of the community (and yes
those responsibilities change depending on the Crown).<br><br>Just my
