I agree with most of if not all you have to say. However, I feel
that I must point out a few things. Like fighters love to fight,
Archers love to shoot. If I get a chance to spend a day on the
range I am most likely to, especially since not all events offer
Archery. I am also a chivalric fighter and hoping to pick up
rapier. I have seen on almost every occasion that the fighting
(both type) occur at the same time as the archery competitions.
Therefore if I have to choose I will most likely choose the
archery. I think also will most other Archers, which makes it
impossible at some events to do the things you suggest.<br>
The only other place I have done SCA was in Drachenwald (when it
was a Principality) and the archery was normally scheduled for
after or before the fighting. <br>
I do many Non archery things and hopefully someday may be noticed
for them. Although I really take my enjoyment and reward from
participating where I can and doing my best to keep the Dream
alive. <br>
Yours in Service<br>

I also highly recommend that we spend more time in the SCA
doing none archery things. As some have already pushed for,
show service to our kingdom, don't spend entire events at
the Archery Range. Do field heraldry for the fighters, get
authorized to be a Marshal for one or both styles of
fighting, work the gate at an event etc. </span></div>

show an interest or ability in something other than your
specialty. The archery community seems to be one of the
exceptions. Many of our archers have been rewarded for
their actions in the archery community with little or no
exposure elsewhere. Do not be that person, serve the
Kingdom and show support for the SCA as a combined

[Ansteorra-archery] Archery as a Peer area under
A&S.<br>
</font></div>
<div class="y_msg_container"><br>
Archers!<br>
<br>
As Archers we continue to hone our skills and our art of
Archery. We<br>
should be recognized for our efforts. There have been some
discussion<br>
on other lists, SCA wide, as to what we can do to educate
the Peers in<br>
A&S that our art (Archery) is a valid area to be
considered for<br>
elevation to peerage.<br>
<br>
We make period clothing, construct period bows and arrows,
and we<br>
shoot period contests.<br>
How is this different than making a period dress, making a
period box,<br>
or performing a<br>
period dance?<br>
<br>
The SCA ArcheryGuild-Period group is in the process of
defining it's<br>
core mission statements, and<br>
it has been suggested that one of our goals should be to
promote<br>
Archery to the kingdom Peerage communities as a valid
A&S area for<br>
peerage award.<br>
<br>
As Keeper of the Royal Rounds - Ansteorra, and a promoter
of period<br>
Archery, I have formulated a path that shall lead to the
education of<br>
the A&S peerage that they should consider what we do,
just as worthy<br>
as other A&S areas.<br>
<br>
How you ask? By entering every bow that I make, every set
of arrows,<br>
every quiver, brace,<br>
glove, garb, and string into the A&S contests. You
make these already,<br>
why not get credit for it?<br>
And I will concentrate on the kingdom published events for
more<br>
Kingdom level exposure.<br>
<br>
The next set of arrows that you make, make them to win the
shoot and<br>
to win the A&S contest.<br>
<br>
Yours In Service<br>
Ld. Francois de Lions,<br>
Keeper of the Royal Rounds, Ansteorra<br>
Central Region Archery Marshal, Ansteorra<br>
