[Archers] Atlantian Pennsic Competition

[Holly Gibbons]

Dear fellow Atlantian Archers:

I think Jonathas is on to somethng - - if we each brought one target with 
accompanying instruction page and stakes to put up, and if we could get 
permission to use the "back 40" from 9 to 3 some weekday, i.e. the fields around 
the trailers behind the range, we could actually pull this off. It would not 
take long to put up/take down a range if everyone has only one target to worry 
about. If each group of four has a marshall, we are covered for marshalling, 
just as at local events.

I don't know that you can have thousands of shots at each target so you may need 
to limit archers a little bit, but it would be a fun fun day for all and achieve 
the goal of having a kingdom-by-kingdom competition as well as an individual 
competition.

Even better would be to have the entire range one day - - who really wants to 
shoot those war points four days in a row anyway? I cannot imagine it. So IF the 
royalty of Atlantia would ask for this, maybe we have a shot. I totally get the 
pessimism, Siegfried, and know it's based on reality and Pennsic history, but I 
just won't take "no" yet. Let the East and Mid have their war, but also let the 
archers of the known world come together for a competition sponsored by 
Atlantia. For gosh sakes, at Pennsic we have hundreds of acres and two full 
weeks! Why not!?

Nuala of Needwood, heartily signing in on the dream and willing to work for it
