Mr. Sweeny. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend a young man on an exemplary achievement.

Archery in the 18th century
In The Peripatetic John Thelwall refers to the growing popularity of archery as a sport in the 18th c., and includes a poem in which he glorifies archery for its connection to British antiquity, then turns against it for its warlike nature. Can anyone give me any leads on where I might find information on [...]
The glory of traditional archery
I am submitting this proposal for your comments. This newsgroup will be dedicated to participants of traditional style archery. Traditional and Primitive Archery related subjects. A Newsgroup in which traditional archery enthusiasts can discuss their hobby and trade tips. This is an unmoderated newsgroup. While the NG alt.archery exists, there are (in short) great two [...]
Some important aspects regarding archery
I neither “approved” this, nor gave permission to use my address in this message. A small point, perhaps, but please remove this from any further control/booster messages you send. alt.archery.traditional was proposed on May 21, 1998 in alt.config. Little discussion came of it there, except for the possibility of renaming the group. Further contact with [...]

Information about traditional archery
While the NG alt.archery exists, there are (in short) great two completely different styles of archery. One of which (compound style) is very technically oriented and of little interest to those who prefer traditional style. There has been discussion via email from readers of alt.archery and rec.org.sca, many of whom are also interested in a [...]
Take up Archery! Try something totally Different
I posted something similar two months ago and would like to get this message to those who did not managed to read it the first time. So you lug your golf clubs or swing your tennis racquat as you walk down Orchard Road. What if you were holding a bow and a qiver of arrows? [...]
Historical archery and its importance
Definitely the arrow makes a difference. Actually, off the shelf arrows aren’t always a good choice for a powerful bow. Most archers by arrows matched to the pull of their bow because arrows with insufficient “spine” will flex when released and fly inconsistently. Also, short arrows will not allow the bowman to come to full [...]
Archery Targets and Combt Dummies
I wanted to put some Archery Targets and Combat Dummies in one of my Areas and use then like they do in the Prelude. But for some reason, in the game, they don’t appear to be Hostile. It means that the players cant attack them, without right clicking the target and bashing it. You need [...]
Archery in IFGS
What do you folks think about our current archery system? Noone seems to be testing any more. What’s worse, noone seems to be checking what archery stats PCs are using. (I tested in California about three years ago and I have never (in california or colorado) had anyone question me about my archery scores). I [...]

I think I visited your Website last summer because I was interested in archery from anthropological/technological view point.(comparison [...]
