[Archers] Known World Archery Championship

[Holly Gibbons]

Godai, Dearest Samurai Archer:

Thank you for your account of last year's experience, and for your interesting 
ideas on a shoot using existing war points targets. This is most helpful! I have 
few queries, if you will allow me.

1. Were you confined by the powers-that-be to a post-6 pm time slot because you 
had not arranged the novelty shoot pre-Pennsic?  On which range did you run your 
shoot?

2. Am I mistaken, or are there novelty shoots just about every day over on the 
royal round range, or on the novelty ("youth") range - - and decidedly not 
post-6 pm? I seem to recall shooting a beaver and a lion at about 3 pm on the 
royal round range year before last.

3. Whose permission did it take to set up your one-target, post-6 pm shoot? Did 
they tell you that all novelty shoots have to post-6 or pre-war? For next year? 
Was any rationale proffered?

4. Did you ask directly or did Bright Hills ask, and when did you ask?

5. Your shoot sounds fun - - it resembles the many hours of happy, 
jovial, competitve shooting we did for fun the first week of Pennsic, before the 
war points started. I think the war targets are great targets, I just don't like 
having to wait interminably to shoot them during war week. We had a good time 
trying to hit only heads, one arrow per target . . . or only empty space over 
the warriors left shoulder, etc.

Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. Thumbs up!

Your fellow Nut-about-Bows, Nuala

Last Pennsic, I sponsored and ran a novelty shoot. The time of the shoot was
determined by the range time.  It had to start at 6:00pm no earlier.
I had a total of 12 archers at my shoot, which was great because novices,
new shooters won the award arrows I had made.
  This year I will run another single target shoot.  I will also get this
one into the schedule, I hope, but again it will have to be run before war
points start in the first week or in the evening.  


I also have an idea to run a multiple kingdom event using the existing
targets at the range to make things easier on the Atlantian archers.  If
well received, we could change it each year and begin to bring our targets..
This would be more than I can do on my own and I would need kingdom backing
for prizes and Marshalls to help.
