[Archers] [MR] Royal Court Report - Royal Archery

[Garth Groff]

Noble friends,

Kudos to Lord Mors for what may have been his best-organized shoot yet. 
The site was perfect, and allowed him to spread the targets so that most 
safety zones did not overlap and retrieving arrows could take place 
while the next target was still be shot at. That really kept people 
moving and minimized frustration. The targets were well thought out, and 
most were thoroughly evil, both the graphics and the difficulty. The 
score books were excellent, and set a new standard!

And congratulations to all who received awards. Vivat!

Atlantian archers are a really great bunch of folks.

Yours Aye,


Mungo
