My 2 cents worth:<br>
I really think 5 darts in 30 seconds is asking too much. Of course,
I still can't shoot 5 arrows in 30 seconds in my rolling nut
crossbow.<br>
<br>
I haven't seen anyone toss a dart 100 yards. I think Reyne has the
record in Bright Hills and she used to be trained in the javelin.
Franky, my shoulder aches just thinking about 40 yards.I don;t want
to lose out because I'm not strong enough. Even with a 30 lb. bow
I'd still have a chance.<br>
<br>
One point that hasn't been brought up - the atlatl itself. There
seem to be three varieties - a trainer version in which the dart is
held on by jamming the dart in a notch; the regular atlatl in which
a finger holds the dart in place, and one I haven't actually seen in
person, a really whippy atlatl that could have a weight to give it
more 'whip'. Are they all legal?<br>
<br>
I guess while I'm at it, do we want standards for darts? River reed
vs. solid shaft? What about length of shaft - shorter shafts are
easier to through but longer shafts may go further.<br>

occasionally on the practice range in Isenfir (when

one target and shooting line, the atlatl throwers
shared the archery line. I preferred for them to
throw first, in case they actually hit the target,
their darts wouldn’t crush somebody’s arrows (for
the same reason I always invited crossbow shooters
to go first). Throwing at 20-30-40 yards was quite
impractical. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

evening everyone, I know I should have my head
examined but I would be scared of what they find! If
you ever have seen me attempt an Atl Atl you would
know they aren’t my favorite but…..Last year or so I
know Lorelei got the ball rolling with trying to
establish some Royal Round rules for Atl Atl and I
think it is that time once again. We need to complete
the discussion and planning so we can move forward
with this and get something in place governing Atl Atl
in our Kingdom. So let’s start the discussions once
again, and please just keep in mind this is a
discussion and one’s opinion is not any better than
another’s. When we get close to a final solution I
will officiate the vote to move forward. I went back
in my archives and this seems to be the last email I
had on the subject, it came from Lord Jonathan:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"

<p class="MsoPlainText">I would like to add my thoughts
to the debate. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The current Atlantian rules for
Atlatl are based on an archery mind set.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">People who can only count to 5,
and need colors to help! In the mundane world of
Atlatl hurlers, they can count to 10; however, they
have to start at 6. Don't ask where 1 through 5
went. But at least they can do it in black and
white. Please see the attached image of their
official atlatl target. The target looks to be 100cm
in diameter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">My research has uncovered the
distances at which they throw and the number of darts
at each distance vary somewhat by club. The closest
is<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">6 meters and the furthest is 25
meters. The total number of darts in an official
round appears to be 10, either two stations of 5 darts
each, or<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">5 stations with 2 darts each.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The current Atlantian throwing
distances are 20, 30 and 40 yards. Since we in the
SCA try to have fun, anything past 20 yards for a 60sm
target does not meet that standard.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I propose the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Target: standard Royal Round
60cm 5 color target.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Distances: 10 yards, 15 yards,
and 20 yards Number of darts at each distance: 3
Highest possible score is 45.<o:p></o:p></p>
