[Archers] ATLatl discussion and rules completion

[Robyn Becker]

This is a re-hashing of topics discussed before, but yes, basically, I agree with Mungo as well.  90cm targets are nice, assuming people's ranges are able to accommodate the larger target face.Scoring and distances should stay the same.  The only way to improve is to make it challenging, and I couldn't hit at 40 yards when I first picked up a bow, so why should it be any different for an atlatl?I also am in full agreement on having 6 darts per end, versus 3, simply because it offers up more opportunity to learn from your mistakes, and scores some points.  And it correlates with the archers RR.

M’Lord Janyn,
 
Why should scoring be any different from target archery? Doesn’t the 90 cm target have the same five colors? Keeping the two the same (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) would probably less confusing to everyone, including marshals
 who report scores.
 
As for distances, I see no problem keeping them the same as a target range if that is what the AA throwers want. But I’ve watched AA battles, and been on the regular range with throwers. Seemed like few could get
 a hit even at 20 yards. I wonder how many throwers are on this list and can give us their views. Lord Allen?
 
Yours Aye,
 
 
Mungo

Good afternoon everyone, I want to start working off the items I sent out last week from my “to do” list. So the first up is the completion of the ATLATL rules for Royal Rounds. I went back through all of our discussions last year and this
 is the gist of what I took away from it.
 
1.     
Use of the bigger FITA (90m)  target as the Royal Round target.
2.     
6 Darts per end
3.     
Range will be same as the archery to allow both being shot/thrown at once on adjacent ranges if need be (20 yards, 20 yards timed, 30 yards, 40 yards)
4.     
Scoring will be 10,9,8,7,6 ? Gold,red,blue,black,white?
 
My take is that yes the scores will be lower than archery, who cares? We need to start somewhere and I think keeping the yardages the same with the bigger target will accommodate this. I have seen many who are decent with Atlatl throw them
 40 yards or so and look how hard 40 yards is for most archers. 
 
Am I missing something? I don’t want to start this discussion from scratch but I want to complete this discussion so if you have comments or concerns please lets discuss. I would like to close this topic and move on by 23 August.
 
In Service,
 
Janyn
