Practice is practice and if you are serious you will be out over the winter as many of us are unless it is a brutal one like this past winter was. I would like to see Lochmere go back to fall if at all possible. Also we have been over this in the past but if it needs to be a bit more than a year so be it, in past years I can remember a few times where the current winners had it longer than a year due to scheduling conflicts. With the recent changes in the number of event local groups can have, it might cause some issues, this is why we tied it to the Trial by fire event again in Bright Hills. It’s not after Pennsic but its close, otherwise our next chance would have not been until October which is already very full and already another archery event for us. I am in favor of leaving Royal in the Spring and Lochmere later in the year.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>In service,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Janyn<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> archers-bounces@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org [mailto:archers-bounces@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jonathas<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, April 28, 2014 11:08 AM<br><b>To:</b> Archery List<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Archers] ROYAL ARCHERY TOURNAMENT QUESTION - PLEASE READ<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I will agree that it would be nice to keep the various major shoots spread out.

No matter when it falls those that want the title will find or make the time to practice so that they are in proper form going into the shoot.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Personally, I would like to see Royal Archer continue its tradition of being scheduled before Pennsic, and Lochmere Arrow be scheduled after Pennsic.
