[Bryn-gwlad] Archery at BG Baronial

[Bernard Wright]

My lady has been urging me to make it out more on Sunday so she/we can shoot; I'd be happy to drag my armour and kite out, but I do agree with Ld Charles, 2 fighters don't really make up a melee enviornment. But the offer still stands, I can drag my gear out to help people out.

No, it sounds like he's the Kingdom Archery Marshal and is telling 
everyone what's required to become an authorized combat archer. Knowing 
Pug, I'm sure he'd be thrilled to have more combat archers trained up 
around here. I would also like to see that.

But Kingdom law is Kingdom law, and he's the man charged with enforcing 
the Kingdom and Society rules pertaining to combat archery. What Pug 
wants doesn't signify here; what does is what his duties as KAM require.

There's no way in Hell he's going to bend the rules on authorizing 
combat archers. If he did, he wouldn't deserve his office, which he most 
certainly does.

When I decided to become a combat archer I had to practice several times 
before I could authorize. Heavy fighters ususally have to practice for 
several practices before they are comfortable enough with the rules to 
safely fight, and thus be authorized. Don't expect Pug to wave a magic 
wand and say 'poof, you're a combat archer'.

Can we do more to help authorize? Sure. I've already told Jason that I'm 
willing to help out, but one heavy fighter doesn't make a melee, and you 
have to fight in melees with CA to learn CA. Period. If we want to teach 
combat archers we need fighters for them to fight with.
