[Archers] Open challenge for H-o-r-s-e

[Gordon Kinnie]

A challenger, yes..I, Godai Katsunaga, accept this from a brave man.    

 

I offer no mercy, you will fail.

My bow is strong, my arrows are straight and my aim is true.

 

Let us begin.

I'll probably regret it, and get my ass whooped, but I'll answer your
challenge!  Lets see, which side of the longbow did the arrow go one??? 

One question, what is the max score for the -E-.  The rest of the ends max
out at 10, but -E- was intended to be a "double" for the speed round so
actually allows for a max of 20.  SO, 10 or 20 arrow max for -E-?  Why,
cause other then the pure luck shot, I'm betting that is what my score will
be for a 1.5" circle!

Must be shot in order, this is archery not yatzee. 

 

Score total number of arrows required to complete the challenge.

Count each shot. 

 

I freely offer this challenge to all and will except or offer a small drink
of some brewed beverage to any that think they have what it takes.  

It must be completed before SAAD, as I will need plenty to drink while
visiting the south.
