What about sweet rounds like Windsor - so why not to make the table broader - to make it interesting for the high class archers...
What people think about it? |
That's exactly the point: it is much harder to score highly at longer distances and therefore a greater test of skill. At Grand Master Bowmen level, the archer should be part of an elite.
The rule concerning the classifications requiring a minimum distance (for gents: 50yd/50m for 3rd class, 60yd/60m for 2nd class, 80yd/70m for 1st class and 100yd/90m for BM/MB/GMB) applies across all bow types, not just longbow.
