[Jay Nardone]

This whole thing makes me sick to my stomach really. So rant off, time to go
shoot now! J

So the Chivalry supports a rapier peerage but not an archery peerage, rather
decisively. Why? Is anyone on this list curious?

 

There have to be reasons behind the Chivalry's position. And it really does
not matter what archers themselves think - - you won't get a peerage without
the support of the chivalry. And no matter how helpful the combat archers
are in Pennsic battles, that won't get you a peerage either.

 

I wonder if it isn't that most archers are always in the back 40, hang only
with each other, don't stay for feast, don't do service except to archery,
and don't care much for medieval garb or the rest of sca activities. Of
course there are exceptions to all these ... but if the rapier people had a
plan to get a peerage, those archers demanding theirs should get a good look
at the blueprint.

 

Lastly, I doubt whether many target archers are keen to be a knight's
yeoman, despite Tnek's lovely, generous offer. Most archers are
independantly-targeted kinds of people who bond more laterally with each
other than vertically within the sca. And most archers are not combat
archers either.
