[Archers] Fwd: A question about Royal Rounds

[Michael Sheppard]

I was actually thinking along the same lines, timing wise.  I know we sometimes adjust times or youth and lower RR ranked at events so it seems, if MIC's at events and practices agree, that this should be a consideration.  I also agree with Terasu and teach that # of bolts/arrows alone is not as important as scoring/accurate bolts/arrows in speed rounds.

>>> Maitresse, as you are aware I am a huge supporter of assuring that our disabled archers are taken care of as much as we possibly can. With that said, we dont have a subsitute RR at this point. As far as your post goes, I would not equate being slower as a safety concern. If there is a real safety concern I would say we need to address that issue because I wont knowingly support anyone being unsafe on our ranges no matter the issue. Not sure what poundage you now shoot but I see new archers performing very well with bows as low as 18 pounds! So yes your scores might suffer a bit being slower in the timed rounds but I would not say that is unsafe. If you as a marshal feel you are being unsafe I would ask that you or the marshals around you correct the issues. I will continue to support changes that help all to enjoy our martial activity but at this time we only have the one set of rules.

>>> 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).
