[Archers] Archers Digest, Vol 119, Issue 8

[John Atkins]

Minor correction.  In an atlatl battle the chief gets three darts but can
not move.  The warriors get two darts and can move unless wounded.  At least
that's how it's been in the battles I've been in or run.

valid points. And as it stands now an AtlAtl Battle has 3 dart ends. It
would be consistent. Though my vote is to keep the distances (barring
hearing more compelling arguments).

 

YIS respectfully,

Cameron

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.

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.

Martelle

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
