> Greetings to the good gentles of the Barony of the Steppes. It is my honor
> and privilage to announce that the new Royal Huntsman of the Kingdom of
> Ansteorra is none other than our own Honorable Lord Wiliam Ironwyrm. He
> outshot a field of 15 archers in a remarkable contest. Remarkable in that
> the contenders and their equipment all held up remarkably well despite
> incredibly adverse conditions. The event was held in bitter weather with
> wind chills in the teens.Thankfully the waterbearer's of Moonschadowe
> supplied us with hot broth and chocolate all day, standing out in the cold
> without complaint for several hours. Steppes was well represented with
> approximately 1/3 of the archers participating being from our Barony.
>
> There was very nearly a major upset when Lord Alvin du Clairmont (please
> forgive me if I misspelled it) remained undefeated until meeting HL
Ironwyrm
> in the finals. Lord Alvin represented our Barony and the future of Archery
> within it with great honor. Up until shooting against HL Ironwyrm in the
> final round, Lord Alvin was the ONLY archer that had not been defeated at
> least once in the double elimination tournament. This is especially
> remarkable as he has been shooting less than 6 months and has been to
> practice only half a dozen times or less. Lest anyone think that this
> acheivement was a fluke, he then shot at the grand opening of
Weisenfeuer's
> new Archery range and shot more balloons than any of the archers there,
> includiing several past Royal Huntsmen and members of the Arcus
> Majorus....We will see great things from him in the future, I have no
> doubts.

> Thanks yous to the Shire of Moonschadowe (especially the waterbearers),
The
> Spinning Winds people who provided a large pavilion for shelter, Lord
Arthur
> Blackmoon of Northkeep who had the good sense and thoughtfulness to bring
a
> propane heater to keep the inside of the pavilion warm, Don Elric who
> provided a very challenging and entertaining contest, and to my travelling
> companions who made the trip a great deal of fun.
>
> Congratulations, Wil on your well-deserved title, and congratulations also
> to Lord Alvin who was shooting in his first tournament. The past, present
> and future of Steppes Archery well represented.
