LIONS GATE COMPANY OF ARCHERS

To improve the qualifications and recognition of archers in Lions Gate I would like to propose a Company of Archers be formed. Archers would have to complete the following to be accepted into the Company in the year of qualification: (Old scores do not count)


1. Archers must shoot a 40 + average in: Open, Longbow, Crossbow, and Period class.

2. Archers must shoot at least one:

 - IKAC
 - York round

3. Archers must have taken (and passed) the target archery marshals training course or be a minimum of Junior Light Marshal.


At the first archery related event of the New Year a Company Captain will be announced.

This archer will be the one with the highest combined total using the following formula.

Open average /1 LB (+ or -) average /1 CB average/1 Traditional average /1 IKAC/2 York/5

Each archer qualifying for the company will receive 1 custom made arrow of the company to carry as a token. The Captain of the company will receive a quiver to carry for the year.

As soon as possible after the archer achieves their entrance to the company they will be admitted.

Archer's re-qualifying each year will have silver bands added to their tokens. The archery Captain will have a Gold band added to their tokens.

The Captain, Baronial Archer and their Deputies, and a representative of the Baron will discuss the requirement changes, if any, for the new years shooting. The changes will have to be issued prior to March 1st each year.
