I'm inclined to agree with Enequy on this . 6 darts does seem a bit more reasonable. It would also give everyone a bit more practice. Having been a marschal at the PENNSIC atlatl battles for the past 3 years, we are starting to see a decided increase in the number of folks wanting to play and the shorter distances are more consistent with the battle play.<BR>

<DIV><BR></DIV>He brings up some points for discussion about atlatl. Lady Reyne (</FONT><A href="mailto:robynbecker_AT_comcast.net">robynbecker_AT_comcast.net</A>)<FONT face=arial color=black size=2><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> 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?<BR><BR>Lorelei <BR><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></FONT>

<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>

<DIV>Hi folks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm sure you've noticed the posts about War of the Wings. (<A href="http://www.warofthewings.com/" target=_blank>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>
