Greetings all,
As you may know, the Midlands Regional Championship shoot is coming up in a few short weeks at Rites of Spring.
April 10th Rites of Spring - Travels in the Known World {Canton of Athelington} [Princeton , IL]
The tourney will be shot in the afternoon as the AMiC sees fit.
The format will be the same as last year.
The tourney will consist of 3 events, 2 ends each:
Clout - 100 yards, untimed, 6 arrows: To test the archers ability to shoot long.
Scoring: Hit the butt, 2 points. Within 10 yards 1 point.
Castle Window - Unorthodox window design / 30 yards, untimed, 6 arrows: To test archers precision
Scoring: Hit the inner tape, 2 points. The outer tape, 1 point.
Multiple target shoot - Timed shoot 45 sec / unlimited arrows / multiple targets unknown distance: To test archers target acquisition and speed.
Scoring: Must have a successful hit on the 2 primary targets before shooting on a third target. Only successful hits on the third target are totalled for score. Each hit on the third target are worth 1 point.
Totalled high score wins.
Only archers of the Midlands are eligible for Champion status.
Scoring 2/1s will keep the tablulation quick and as the events are varied, will keep each event equally weighted for a totalled score.
I think the only thing stopping this shoot will be severe weather, this is Illinois, in Spring? so the weather can do anything.
The backup site/event will be at:
April 24th
Awakening - Armored Egg Hunt {Shire of Baile na Scolairi} [Bloomington, IL]
Please spread this information to the 4 winds.
