 Hello all,

     When their Majesties were first stepping up, they posted the challenge
to all autocrats that any event that was Royal progress to hold a Ransom
the Cure heavy tournament on the side to raise money for this great
charity.  Being that the Royal Archer Tournament is being held at a site
where there is simply no room for heavy activities in addition to the
archery, that was not possible.  However, not wanting the archery community
to fall short of the challenge, we have devised our own Ransom the Cure
activity to be held at this event.  It will be modeled after the
ever-popular Turkey shoot held annually at Holiday Faire for those that are
familiar with it.  In a nutshell, each arrow/bolt will cost $1.  Archers
can purchase their own shots, or those watching can purchase shots for a
given archer, just as in the Ransom heavy tourneys.  We will be shooting at
a stuffed pig at unknown (by which I mean long) distance.  The first person
to hit the pig will win a real-life ham that they can take home and enjoy.
:)

    As such, I wanted to get the word out ahead of time so that anyone
interested in participating/sponsoring/watching can be sure to bring cash
with them, preferably in small denomintions.  If everyone brings tens and
twenties and want to buy 4 arrows, change is going to quickly become an
issue.  Please come show your support for their Majesties efforts for an
amazing cause.  The shoot will be held immediately following the finals
tournament while final preparations for Court are being made.  Please feel
free to contact me if you have any comments or questions.

In Service,
Lord Karl von Königsberg
