Um, sorry.  I saw you palm that card.  Yes, we agreed to separate major 
competition styles into separate events, but the "Baronial Archery 
Competition" is at this event.  And that competition is not accommodating any 
of the local archers who have not and/or do not wish to become Combat Archery 
authorized.  Are we all comfortable with relegating target archery to a 
second-class activity where the participants have no tournament to 
demonstrate their skill?
