If you have built targets like this, I bow to your experience and
wisdom. We already use a double layer of pink or blue insulation, but
the sheets are slid into a heavy slotted frame of 2X4s, with
substantial feet at 90 degrees to the target face (I wouldn't want to
try driving large legs or pegs into the verrrrry hard ground of our
range). I think after several hits with darts, anything less
substantial would fall over.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<pre wrap="">Lord Mungo, a very salient point. I will add as followup to my last
statement. If Atlatl was to go to 120cm targets. Stands for them are
remarkably easy to create. As that size is approx 4' ... A 4x8 sheet of
pink insulation from Home Depot, cut in half and duct taped back
together, makes a very effective 120cm target butt. Just prop it up
with some sticks/rods into/against the ground.
Therefore making it rather easy to have a 'second target' just for Atlatl

No problems with the six darts idea, though Lord Christophe is right
about target construction.
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.
Kind regards,
Lord Mungo Napier, Shire of Isenfir Target Archery Marshal

He brings up some points for discussion about atlatl. Lady Reyne
(robynbecker_AT_comcast.net <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:robynbecker_AT_comcast.net"><mailto:robynbecker_AT_comcast.net></a>) has
proposed some rules for 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?

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.

Subject: Re: [Archers] I need your help
I plan on being down there that WoW weekend and will assist for a
little on the archery range.
But also planning on splitting my time with Atlatl and thrown weapons
Speaking of the Atlatl - - who did you say was the person to chat with
about the Atlatl rules?? And email address??
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.
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.
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.
Maybe this way more people can get interested in the Atlatl.
especially without being frustrated with the LOW point system
presently in place.

Hi folks,
I'm sure you've noticed the posts about War of the Wings.
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.warofthewings.com">www.warofthewings.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.warofthewings.com/"><http://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.
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.
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.
Thursday 8 to 12. Range Set up
Thursday: Range opened from 1 to 5 for open shooting and Royal Rounds
Friday Range Opened 10 to 5
10:00 inspections
2:00 - 3:00 Beginning archery for kids
3:00 - 4:00 Beginning Atlatl
4:00 - 5:00 Atlatl prize fling!
7:30 - Susan G. Komen fundraiser night shoot
Saturday Range Opened 8:30 - 5:00 (closed for procession)
11:30 Beginning Archery for Adults
12:30 Kids Prize Shoot
1:30 Improving your Archery
3:00 Adult Prize shoot
War Points can be shot all day Friday and Saturday (just once)
Sunday range take down
Sunday 10 - 12 Archery Marshals class
Thanks!

MiC - Archery
War of the Wings
Please cross post this to appropriate lists.
