[Archers] Atl Atl Rules

[Jay Nardone]

Good evening everyone, I know I should have my head examined but I would be
scared of what they find! If you ever have seen me attempt an Atl Atl you
would know they aren't my favorite but...Last year or so I know Lorelei got
the ball rolling with trying to establish some Royal Round rules for Atl Atl
and I think it is that time once again. We need to complete the discussion
and planning so we can move forward with this and get something in place
governing Atl Atl in our Kingdom.  So let's start the discussions once
again, and please just keep in mind this is a discussion and one's opinion
is not any better than another's.  When we get close to a final solution I
will officiate the vote to move forward. I went back in my archives and this
seems to be the last email I had on the subject, it came from Lord Jonathan:

 

I would like to add my thoughts to the debate. 

 

The current Atlantian rules for Atlatl are based on an archery mind set.

People who can only count to 5, and need colors to help!  In the mundane
world of Atlatl hurlers, they can count to 10; however, they have to start
at 6.  Don't ask where 1 through 5 went.  But at least they can do it in
black and white.  Please see the attached image of their official atlatl
target.  The target looks to be 100cm in diameter.

My research has uncovered the distances at which they throw and the number
of darts at each distance vary somewhat by club.  The closest is

6 meters and the furthest is 25 meters.  The total number of darts in an
official round appears to be 10, either two stations of 5 darts each, or

5 stations with 2 darts each.

The current Atlantian throwing distances are 20, 30 and 40 yards.  Since we
in the SCA try to have fun, anything past 20 yards for a 60sm target does
not meet that standard.

I propose the following:

Target:  standard Royal Round 60cm 5 color target.

Distances:  10 yards, 15 yards, and 20 yards Number of darts at each
distance: 3 Highest possible score is 45.
