All good points.  Let us continue the discussion.

Janyn, believe me when I say "I feel your pain" (about getting old).

Cog,

Look at the full list.  Reynard is a GBE with a recurve, and was one of the
first.  He just doesn't shoot RR's too often any more, so his rank doesn't
show up in the active rankings. (and Henri, but he has disappeared from SCA
activity, last I knew).  There are also about 4 or 5 at the top end of BE,
that use hand bows.
