[Archers] Archers Digest, Vol 119, Issue 8

[Jonathan Mitz]

Janyn,

As an atl atl participant in the SCA and mundane worlds I respectfully disagree with using the archery distances to establish the official rules.  Trying to hit a vertical target beyond 25 yards is no fun.  I do agree that a target that is larger than the RR archery target is warranted.  And finally, I think there should only be 3 darts per distance. With that said, what do people think about a pilot program for one year?  Go ahead with the archery distances, larger target, and an agreed upon number of darts and see what happens.  If all is well then make the rules final, if not then make adjustments.

Jonathan

Mistress, agreed. Im not worried about the beginning I was more worried that over time it would begin to discourage people from continuing on. Thanks for the words...

Janyn,
I would not be concerned, the scores could very well be zero in the beginning.

AtlAtl Royal Rounds is a new challenge and until people start doing it regularly and practicing, just like we do for archery RR's, the scores will naturally be low or non-existant. Scores will improve as participation improves. Right now there is nothing to gauge skill in AtlAtl. There is going to be a skill curve for a while. It will be like any skill, if folks have the motivation to work on getting better they will.

Eirik, very good points and I really dont have a dog in this fight. Im just hoping that everyone keeps in mind that Atlatl is not as accurate as archery is and putting those same limitations on everyone from the start troubles me. If the community feels it is the way to go, I will consider it and we can move on. I am seeing increased Atlatl involvement at many archery events and even those I consider seasoned throwers have problems hitting a RR target at 20 yards.



This all seems a bit pointless to me if the scores to submit for 80% of the throwers are going to be 0's....



Just thinking out loud here...



Janyn
