As the rules are written now, that is correct. One of the reasons I wanted to become a target archery marshal was so we (the equestrian marshals) did not need to round up a target marshal for us to do mounted archery. The other reason is so I can run an official practice in the northern part of our barony. </div>

<div>I did mounted archery as a demo some years ago, but have not yet authorized for it. It is a real challenge. You have to time your release based on the movement of the horse. I was happy when I just hit a target. I didn't care what ring I hit. Keeping an arrow nocked was difficult too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have not ridden since I tore up my shoulder and hip in a riding mishap last year. After Pennsic I visited my surgeon again and he now tells me my hip is shot and I need a hip replacement. Hip replacements and riding do not go well together. Still, I would love to get my authorization for mounted archery. It is almost as much fun as jousting and nearly as much of a challenge.</div>
