In my area the single activity that has brought more people into this silly club is archery. I like to think it’s because you don’t have to go through a lengthy authorization process, though I fully understand why and support it for heavy and rapier. I think it is also because the archery community is a welcoming community. How many times have I seen an archer of high skill, i.e. Colum, Seamus, Lorelei to name a few, put their bows down to help a newer person improve. A serious contrast to my combat archer days where the heavies actually played “volley ball” with a catapult “rock” on a field of arrows (wooden shafts in those days) with the prime objective of stepping on as many
arrows as possible.</span></div><div class="yiv9387136696MsoNormal"><span style='color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'> </span></div><div class="yiv9387136696MsoNormal"><span style='color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'>cog</span></div><div class="yiv9387136696MsoNormal"><span style='color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;'> </span></div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
