The archery war point was a 30 yard speed round with a double line of archers facing single elimination.
Avacal loaded up their top archers, a ludicrous bowman and their archery champion, to take on initial comers. Tir Righ sent in the 13 year old, Elizabeth Macandrew. Thirty seconds later the ludicrous bowman was eliminated. Another thirty seconds and the archery champion joined him.
After some heated discussion on the Avacal side a third archery stepped up. The archers were tied until Elizabeth’ last arrow bounced out of the target and the marshals deemed it out of bounds costing her the round, a decision she accepted gracefully.
Although Avacal won the shoot they did not win the day. That honour went to Elizabeth as the King and Queen of Avacal and the entire Avacal team paid her tribute for her skills.

The Seagirt archery final came down the Lord Howard Bevan and Lady Miranda Mail-Macandrew. It came down to a closest to the mark shoot best out of five. The first round was too close to call and deemed a tie, then Lady Miranda and then Lord Harold won a round each. The deciding round had Miranda in the lead and down to Harold's last arrow which struck near the mark and bounced out. Was it closer? No one could tell. In a wonderful act of chivalry Miranda asked Harold to reshoot it and he did for the victory.
There was much cheering for both the victory and the chivalry.
