<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">I approve of using the 122cm targets.<span> </span>In the two Stierbach events that had atlatl: Defending the Gate and Stierbach Baronial Birthday, we used both hay bales for an atlatl battle and the larger target for a range practice/unofficial royal round.<span> The distances for the practice hay bales were at 20, 30, and 40 yds. The target was set up at 20 yds at Baronial Birthday and at DtG, the line moved from the 20, 30, or 40 yd line depending on who was playing. </span>Although the target takes 9 hay bales to set up, we could use the archery butts and the use of foam backing would make this set up even quicker and easier.</font></font></p>
<div style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">As for the timed rounds, it is possible to safely get 6 darts off in 30 seconds.<span> </span>I have tested this along with another at House Woflhau practice.<span> </span>We were both at the atlatl battles at Pennsic this year.<span> </span>She was the one who had the black and gray fletched darts at the 2nd battle and I had the dark red and dark green fletched darts. </font></font></div>
<div style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">House Wolfhau has a group that have been playing with Atlatl for about a year at the house gathering/practice and people are able to get a non zero score from the 20 yd line after a few practices and a little instruction. Even at the Atlatl battles this year at Pennsic, after a quick demo and a few practice throws, complete novices were able to get a distance of 20 yds. Using the 122 cm target will also encourage people to try this new game and as skill and increases to where we have people at the grand bowmen level with the atlatl we can move to the 60 cm target to increase difficulty. Thanks<br>
