<DIV><FONT face=Arial>i've also seen strings made out of squirel hide , and
sinew : )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>but you are correct , in that it is just like heavy
practice / rapier practice, make it a social ocasion and people will usualy
attend , even if they aren't fighting / shooting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>as for prizes , it is very easy to make cheap arrow
straighteners, or bow stringers, and if you have the tools, its even cheap and
easy to make rattan bows for the kiddo's <BR>: )</FONT></DIV>

Period-ness,when is a bow not period due to the string?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Greetings to all</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I tip my hat to you that 1 have the extra time to go into the woods and
find vines and such to make a period string. I myself do not have that
kind of time nor trust in the material. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I would like to offer a suggestion for making it fun and try to get a
turnout. Make a practice a whole day event with food, classes, and
shooting with a prize basket to the top scorer that day. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Just a thought</DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>For many of us it is not a
question of not wanting to do royal rounds it is a question of space to do
them. We have a weekly practice in Bryn gwlad and I am happy to say we have
been having a great turn out with new people all the time as we are
averaging almost 30 people a weekend. The problem is we do not have a 40
plus yard area. At our last Baronial event royal rounds were part of the
qualifications for the finals as well as offering them as part of the open
shoot time. If we want to increase the number of archers we need to increase
our open shooting time at events. The competition is great for established
archers but we need to do something to get new people interested. If you are
having an event with an open shoot ask if there is another marshal available
who can help run a royal round at the same time you are having an open
shoot.</DIV>

[Ansteorra-archery] Period-ness, when is a bow not period due to the

<DIV class=y_msg_container><BR>greetings<BR><BR>while there are some of the
requirements for " period " royal round that can keep people from shooting
in that devision ( no shelf, no fiberglass,period nocks, etc. ) not to
mention the fact that it seems rare to find local bowyers / fletchers in a
group .<BR>the biggest hurdle i have seen for the royal round ( period or
open ) is " marshal boredom "... i have seen many marshals only want to run
one shoot at their events, whether this is due to time constraints, or just
wanting to go do other things at events, i'm not certain. but many marshals
over the years have also stated that royal rounds / ikacs were boring. i
believe that this is due to the fact that many of them shot the royal round
for years, and no longer find them a challenge, or in some cases , no longer
score as well as they used to. so there is no excitement left for them. so
they set up other shoots instead, and when those are done they call it a day
, forgetting how exciting it used to be to reach that new level, and get
that new tassel... forgetting that to a lot of nubies , the royal round is
exciting , and new , and how they judge themselves against other archers in
and out of kingdom .....<BR><BR>there are interkingdom competitions in most
missile activities , ikac's ( which include royal round scores ) and
seasonal challenges for archery . and twic's for thrown weapons. and
probably something out there for seige.<BR>at one time we ( ansteorra ) were
always in the top 5 at least for some of the divisions, and it was a big
deal . but it seems that as membership has dropped so has the pride in our
kingdoms missile rankings, both in and out of kingdom. :
(<BR><BR>basicly to get more royal rounds shot / scored , i believe will
depend on getting the marshals excited about them again .<BR><BR>just my
opinion<BR>Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .<BR>Arthur<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>-----
