I've never heard heralds being called smart and clever before.  Geeky and devious maybe ... :)
 
I must agree, however, with Hillary.  Poor Zodiacus has enough to do already without trying to denote sub-categories.  Besides, heralds don't make up the award categories.  They just record what the Crown announces, which is usually based on what people who make Award Recommendations suggest.  Is the average person making an award rec smart and clever enough to know Toxophilitic Craftsmanship is a sub category in the artistic field of archery?

And that someone would have been his Excellency Stargate.  It was stated 
as so by his Majesty.  As far as calling it Toxophilitic Craftsmanship 
it is one possible name that could and in this case was used.  I would 
think the College of Heralds is smart and clever enough to include this 
as a sub category in the field of archery arts.

But I think it's best to stick with categories in the OP that have been used
already for prior award recipients, for consistency sake; unless a completely
new art medium area.

researched the Sable Thistle list by category, as needed from time to time.
