[Archers] ROYAL ARCHERY TOURNAMENT QUESTION - PLEASE READ

[Jonathas]

I will agree that it would be nice to keep the various major shoots spread
out.  Traditionally Lochmere Arrow has been a fall event, this year I
understand it ended up early due to scheduling but one year does not need
to change its tradition.

As for Royal Archer, the reason it has traditionally been held in the
spring/early summer rather then when most archers are at their true peek in
the fall is because the kingdom wants to know who the best archer is going
into Pennsic and the Archery Champions shoots.  No matter when it falls
those that want the title will find or make the time to practice so that
they are in proper form going into the shoot.

Personally, I would like to see Royal Archer continue its tradition of
being scheduled before Pennsic, and Lochmere Arrow be scheduled after
Pennsic.  But that is all at the whims of the current holders of each title
and must work within the event scheduling requirements of the Kingdom
Calendar.
