[Archers] Archery at Le Grande Tournoi de Amitie (Apr 17-18)

[Scott Dean]

Here are the details about archery this weekend (4/17-18) at Le Grande 
Tournoi de Amitie (Grand Tourney of Friends) near Raleigh NC:

Archery MiC: Manus MacDhai                                       Event 
website: http://www.geocities.com/canton_of_attillium/event.html

Friday April 17:

   For those who come on Friday, I will be running Royal Rounds starting 
about 5pm until it gets too dark to shoot (7:45-8pm).

Saturday April 18:

   Members of the teams will shoot at a variety of targets. Based on the 
scores of each archer accumulates from the shoots, points will be 
awarded to teams for the following:

   1.

      The archer with the highest score will earn points for his/her team

   2.

      Team with the largest number of archers participating will earn points

   3.

      Team with the highest total score will earn points

In the case of ties, for #2 & 3, each team will be awarded the points 
for that award. For #1, if archers are on different teams, each team 
will get points; however, if the archers are on the same team, that team 
will only get one award of points.

/(note: the exact number of points awarded is yet-to-be-determined, in 
consultation with the other discipline mashals.)/


Shoots:

   1.

      Short Clout Shoot:
      Shoot at a 11ft diameter circle (border of the circle is
      constructed of foam pool noodles) on the ground, with an 18-in
      diameter circle in the middle (wicker wreath). 1 point for inside
      the pool noodles; 3 pt for inside the wreath. Arrows in the
      noodles score 1 pt. but must have at least damaged the noodle. 
      Arrows that strike in front and burrow under the noodle must be
      entirely within the circle to count (arrows that are partial under
      the noodle but did not strike the noodle will not score); arrows
      that are at least partially under the back side noodle score 1 pt.
      Arrows in the body of the wreath itself only score 1 pt. Fellow
      team members MAY spot for the archer but must remain behind the
      shooting line.

   2.

      There be BEARS here!
      Four "polar" bears have been sighted and need to be hunted down.
      The bears (stuffed animals 10-12" tall) are on the ground, three
      relatively close (in the 20 yard range) and one will be farther
      away. Near bears score 1 pt each, distant bear is 5 pt. Multiple
      arrows in a bear only count additional points if you have arrows
      in ALL the bears (including the far bear). Only arrows that stick
      count.

   3.

      "Wand" shoot
      Shoot the foam noodles that are arranged vertically. Some are
      suspended, others are on stakes in the ground. Staked noodles are
      1 pt/arrow, hanging noodles are 3pt/arrow. All arrows must stick
      in the noodle; multiple arrows on the same noodle score multiple
      points.

Additional Rules:

   1.

      Archers' equipment must be inspected prior to shooting on the
      range. When inspected, the marshal will hand the archer a 3x5
      score card. The ARCHER should fill out their name and team on the
      card.

   2.

      All shoots are 6 arrows and untimed.

   3.

      Each shoot may be shot TWICE for score. For the Wand and Clout, if
      the archer has 12 arrows, he/she may shoot both scoring "rounds"
      in one round (as long as it doesn't significantly delay the round;
      at the marshal's discretion, he may halt the round and ask the
      archer to shot their remaining arrows the next round). Each round
      of the BEAR shoot must be scored and the bears reset before the
      next round can be shot.

   4.

      Archers may practice the shoots prior to shooting for score.
      However, archers must inform the marshal that they are shooting
      for score prior to doing so (by handing the marshal their score card.)

   5.

      While the range is open, there will be a standard round target at
      20 yrds for warm-up and practice.

Any  questions regarding the shoots should be directed to me at 
scott_dean at mindspring.com, before 2pm Friday... after that, I will be at 
the site.
