[Archers] Atl Atl Rules

[deedee Mail]

Larger target, hmmmm.  Could work. (tighter fit in most vehicles, though :))

I wasn't really against more darts, just stating the general status.  Most people
may have more than 12 arrows/bolts, but very few of them use that many for 
Royal Rounds :)

Speed rounds.....not liking this :(.  A rushed throw greatly increases the chances 
of dart breakage.  Not usually dangerous, but expensive. :(.  For 30 seconds, the atlatl'ists
can wait for the archers :)
