There definitely was an archery competition, because I painted the target. The archers present showed that it was indeed possible to hit a target as small as an eyeslit at some distance, but I guess with Templars, its personal. The clout was stopped part way through after a lone bagpiper emerged from the left side of the range only to have six arrows bury themselves a foot into the ground around him. |

Stephen Hande was awarded first place for the most long-winded lecture for the classic "Transitional Armour". We still threaten the kids with the video when they muck up.
