ARCHERY

QueenÕs Yoeman Tourney- TBA on Saturday Morning Archers come and compete for the seat of honor!

A Modified Calontiri Archer's Duel (Single elimination tournament)

Two archers with arrows on their bowstrings stand side by side on a line 120 ft (instead of yards) from the targets: the cardboard cutouts of two men standing shoulder to shoulder. At one side, the marshals secretly roll a pair of dice, then stand between the two archers as they all begin walking forward. When they reach the distance that the decreed by the dice, the marshal suddenly says "Shoot!" The archers raise their bows and shoot. If one archer "kills" his target, he advances in the tournament and his opponent is eliminated. If the arrow that hits the target in the shoulder, the other archer must shoot without an arm. If the arrow his a leg, the other archer must take a knee. 

The finals...are a secret!
