[Archers] My St Sebastian's II target

Mon Mar 26 04:54:05 PDT 2012

Eirik,

An idea for this shoot to help prevent it from being a bottleneck and to
assist the camaraderie of archers (whaaaaa???).  Teams are made of 4 archers
each.  Each archer rolls the die for a letter.  Then that archer shoots that
letter.  Thus is the word, I'll use modern English here, was word, the first
archer must hit the W the next archer the O, etc.  Each member of the team
gets the total points the team received for that station.  We could limit
each archer to 2 or 3 shafts to hit their letter.  Same scoring as presented
before.

That is pretty much what I was thinking, a group would all roll, then all
shoot together. I expect it would be up to each shooter's personal integrity
to verify the order of their hits, and I imagine team members would verify
for one another whether or not a shot breaks the line, asking the marshal if
unsure, just as we do with other shoots. I imagine at least 4 people could
shoot simultaneously, as each would likely be shooting at a different
combination of letters, with probably no more than 2 or 3 arrows aimed at
any given letter out of their dozen arrows.

I wonder if each of the archers on the "team" roll for their word, then
shoot all at once.  That should back it up more than any other.

I don't want to restrict anyone's ideas as long as they fit the theme and
the plan. All target stations will need to accommodate multiple shooters at
one time. With our goal to double our attendance this year, this will be a
must. Eirik do you think we can pull that off with this station?

Thanks.. Janyn

Hi all,

I don't want to put a damper on this, because it does sound like a neat
idea, but

I have a few concerns.

How many people will be able to shoot this at a time?  Will it be easy
enough

for the line marshal to determine if someone's arrows are hitting in the
correct order?

If it is a one person at a time, this could be a backup point.  If you have
multiple

people shooting, then you get the determination problem :(

OK, I think I have figured out my target contribution. Let me know if the
idea, number of arrows (3), and possible points (6 + 1 = 7 max) will be
appropriate.

The target will have 12 Kells letters on it. Archers will roll a large die
that has 6 four-letter Latin words on its six sides. The word they roll is
the one they have to spell on the target. Archers will use 3 arrows. Scoring
will be 2 points for each letter shot in sequence in their word, or 1 point
for letters in their chosen word that are shot out of sequence. So for
example, shooting D E S for the word DEUS would get six points (2 + 2 + 2),
but shooting D S E would only get four points (2 + 1 + 1). Shooting only D E
would also get four points (2 + 2). Then, IF and ONLY IF anyone hits their 3
letters in sequence, which I'm sure a handful of archers will, then they are
allowed one bonus arrow to shoot at the remaining letter in their word for a
possible 1 additional point.

in service,

Hello everyone, I have added a few more updates to the list of helping
marshal's and target contributors. As you can see we still need a few more
targets to complete the 13 or 14 stations we are shooting for. We still also
could use some more marshal's to help during the day, so please if you think
you can help and or contribute a target, please let me know. This is the
current list so far:
