I posted on FB that the archery at Gulf Wars was not very exciting. In truth it was Royal Round targets at the standard distances with a prize shoot each day in the afternoon. This was the set for the entire war. The war point, which archers got to shoot only once during the war, was the slot at 20 yards and the clout. Now in Atlantia I have become spoiled for you see we expect an archery range to have lots of targets and interesting things to shoot. Sadly not every kingdom sees it that way. I offer the St. Sebastian Shoot at Pennsic as evidence. Now my comments in FB were taken exception to by a Lord Egil. I know Egil and consider him a friend. He has worked very hard for many years running the range at Gulf Wars. No issues there. But he did respond to my FB post with a “then you run it” type response. Understandable. Thus I propose/challenge/ask the archers of Atlantia how many are willing to travel to Gulf Wars next year and show the known world how to conduct a REAL archery shoot? We could do a St. Sabastian type thing but realize Gulf Wars runs a whole week. I personally do not have the capacity to haul a range full of targets to GW. It takes me one whole trip just to haul the targets for War of the Winds and two trips for the targets for SAAD. (Good thing I live reasonably close!)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>We have plenty of time so at this point I’m just asking if there is interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>cog<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
