[Archers] A question about Royal Rounds

Howdy,

I have a question about disabled/handicapped archers and Royal Rounds.
About a year ago, I came down with a chronic illness that changes how I
shoot.  I need special equipment and have to sit down in order to shoot and
be safe.  With any kind of speed round, I would drop arrows and be unsafe
because I lack fine motor control.  I can shoot safely with a trigger, but
that same trigger would make it difficult for me to do anything quickly
when it comes to loading arrows.  Also, my poundage is lower than can
probably do well at the longer distance round.  Now, as for the distance
issue, I figure it might be just tough luck for me.  But as for the safety
issue . . . does my score have to take a major hit simply because I'm
disabled and incapable of doing a timed round?  Is there a different round
that can be substituted  for me and for others that are unsafe during timed
rounds (mainly I'd be dropping everything and cannot go quickly to save my
life).

I'd really like to participate and have had this on my mind for awhile.
After seeing others with a similar problem, I wanted to see if there were
options for us so that we could still play and have fun.
