those archers planning on attending Gulf Wars this year, this is the latest from
the marshal in charge of the Grand Exhibition Tournament. If you are not
up to speed about what the GET is here's a brief. About 4 years ago the
archer community of Gulf Wars decided to do a challenge shoot of the best
archers of the known world in front of the fort for the benefit of the entire
interested populace. It has served as a great venue for displaying target
archery. Unfortunately target archery for most events and big wars is
tucked away on the "back 40" and out of sight. The GET brings it out for
all to see. In past years there have been points awarded for heralding
each competitor. One year, Count Gunnar of Trimaris heralded his
squire/archer from the top of one of the towers on the fort. Needless to
say, they won the heralding points.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=962263913-11022011>This is your friendly neighborhood DEMLW of
GA, Lord Neill Gray, and I am pleased to announce that I am also now in charge
of the GET this year for GW. Master Erik could not commit due to mundane
reasons, so Gentile asked me to step in and take over. Now, to put some facts
out there for all to know, this year's entry into the tournament will be based
upon 2 things:<BR><BR>1. The top 10 highest yearly average IKAC scores from
after GW 19 to Thursday afternoon of war will be allowed entry. So if you come
to war and have never shot an IKAC, you can shoot all you want and we will
average them and if your score is high enough based upon who all is at war this
year, then you are in. <BR><BR>2. The royals PRESENT can choose 2 people they
deem worthy to represent their kingdom in the GET.<BR><BR>So, that should mean
there are going to be about 24 or so people shooting in the GET. Some by
scoring, some by appointment. <BR><BR>As far as the type of shoots that will be
done, that is a secret, or honestly, I really haven't decided yet on what we
will shoot. But, it will be fun and challenging. I am open to ideas and
suggestions, and if anyone wants to come up with a shoot and supply the target
for the GET, i am willing to put it into the tournament. <BR><BR>Now, if anyone
is going to complain about the ability to enter the GET via IKAC's, I don't want
to hear about it, since everyone should be shooting them all year anyway. If
your not shooting your IKAC's, then shame on you (and me too). <BR><BR>I will be
posting the requirements on a flier at Troll for everyone to see, as well as at
the range. I don't know if this will make it into the GW site book, so please
spread the word if you would. <BR><BR>In Service,<BR><BR>Lord Neill
Gray</SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
