Lorelei, Enequy, and friends,<br>
<br>
No problems with the six darts idea, though Lord Christophe is right
about target construction.<br>
<br>
Right now, atlatls are welcome alongside archers at Isenfir's practice,
and occasionally we have a thrower. We have only a single fixed target
with moving shooting lines. Adding a 10-yard target for atlatls would
require an extra end, and would not be popular with the archers (they
need to shoot first, along with the cross bow folks to avoid the
possibility of breaking arrows). When I shoot with Caer Gelynniog, they
offer a second target for atlatls next to the archery target, but
Isenfir has only one. Enequy's idea of 10-20-30 would work fine with a
separate range, or with two targets (with the atlatl target set ten
yards closer), but a separate range defeats the direction Atlantian
marshals are expected to be moving with regards to atlatls.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
<br>
Lord Mungo Napier, Shire of Isenfir Target Archery Marshal<br>

atlatl as well. We've asked around the atlatl community and most
people agree that we can go from three to six darts. Thoughts?
Discussion?<br>

PS We will have atlatl at War of the Wings, but not on a separate range
from archery. We will also have an atlatl prize shoot. Right now, for
some reason atlatl counts as part of the thrown weapons war point.<br>

<div>I plan on being down there that WoW weekend and will assist for
a little on the archery range. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>But also planning on splitting my time with Atlatl and thrown
weapons</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Speaking of the Atlatl - - who did you say was the person to
chat with about the Atlatl rules?? And email address??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The reason for the Atlatl info is I would like to recommend some
changes, especially since the rules have not been stabilized yet. Being
the present highest scorer on the active Atlatl list with a measly 5.7
(the highest obtained is 14.7). That means no one has even reached the
third rank (5 into second and 15 into third). This is highly
frustrating for the person trying to make points. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>My first recommendation is to change the range from 20, 30, 40
and move to 10, 20, 30. Not worried about speed - but what does other
people think on a timed round. From what I understand the mundane
Atlatl ranges are complimentary to what I have recommended. If the
range has multiple butts up the addition or movement for a 10 yard
shoot will not be that much. And if the archers move forward or back to
make the ranges it still will not be that much. We all wait for each
of us to finish our shoot first anyway. And the person shooting the
Atlatl will have to wait for the timed and the 40 yard range to be shot
also. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also recommend the use of six (6) atlatl darts at each range.
And if a person only has three darts then throw three darts at a time
and wait for the next round to shoot the next three. As long as six are
shot at each range in sequence - either = 3at10, 3at10 and then move
on or 6at 10 then move on. the 10, 20, 30 does not have to be thrown in
that order as long as there are no 'practice' shots between. Basically
the same rules there as archery. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe this way more people can get interested in the Atlatl.
especially without being frustrated with the LOW point system presently
in place. </div>

<font color="black" face="arial" size="2">
<div>Hi folks,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm sure you've noticed the posts about War of the Wings. (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" target="_blank"
href="http://www.warofthewings.com/">www.warofthewings.com</a>) Its
shaping up into a nice little war, and is now the largest event in the
kingdom of Atlantia. Its grown a bit too big for just a handful of
marshals to run the archery range. Last year we had well over 200
people come to shoot on the range over the 3 days it was open. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Lady Katarzyna Witkowska and Lord Edward de Witt will act as
Deputy Archery Marshals for the event but we are in sore need of more
help. There are kids on the range who need twice as many eyes watching
them than adults, and the shear number of people there means that we
need several line marshals at all times. We also need marshals to help
with inspections and help running the night shoot.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are coming to War of the Wings, please let me know if you
can work for an hour or two on the archery range. I'll have a sign up
sheet and everything! The tentative schedule is posted below. If you
have never been to War of the Wings, you are missing an amazing event
and you need to fix that.</div>
