[Archers] ROYAL ARCHERY TOURNAMENT QUESTION - PLEASE READ

[loreleielkins at aol.com]

Are you considering Lochmere Arrow (which I have never been to and don't know anyone south of VA who has gone), and Royal Archer competition the only two "major" shoots?  Are you looking to spreading out archery shoots throughout the year or does it only relate to these two events.  I don't think I quiet understand the question and what you're trying to accomplish.  As for staying tuned all year, this winter was not typical.  Usually we can shoot most of the winter here in NC.  But, we do not have indoor ranges like you do in the northern reaches of the Kingdom.  There is no reason not to stay tuned if you have access to an indoor range.  I really enjoyed my visit this winter to the indoor range in Stierbach.  I wish I had one here. 


Cheers!


Lorelei

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.

Hello all,
  
Shortly after getting home and back to facebook, someone to remain   unnamed sent me this private message on there. I wanted to post it here (It is   at the bottom of this email) in an effort to gauge how many people agree and   may or may not like to see a change. Please take a couple moments to read it   and respond with your thoughts and opinions. Please feel free to respnd to me   here, or if you want you can email me privately or send me private messages on   Facebook, whatever you wish. I will be reading the responses for only a couple   days however, because then I need to start the process of spiking the date so   that my options do not all fill up, we all know how fast that can happen.   Thank you all in advance for your opinions and subsequent discussion, they are   much appreciated.
  
  
YIS,
  
Karl von Konigsberg

"Hey man. Grats on winning again! BTW, would you please   consider moving the next Championship to the fall? It takes longer to "get   back" onto a recurve than an xbow after the winter. I think it would make it   more competitive."
  
  
My immediate response to them was that I think part of the   reasoning is to have one of our major shoots in the Spring (Royal Archer) and   one in the Fall (Lochmere Arrow) so as to 'spread out the fun', but I told   them I would at least consider it and so I am. Thank   you.
