Please also remember to bring a clip board, pen, clear tasting glass, water, and a chair.

Endewearde's First Archer Competetion Updated: 10/03/2012 Endewearde Archers only Sunday at 1:00 pm Lord Gwillim Kynith, First Archer of Endewearde, has designed three shoots, with a tie breaker. Unlike previous years, there will be NO elimination shoots; every contender will be able to participate in all three shoots. The First Archer shoot will start on the range at approximately 1:00 pm on Sunday. It should be quick and fun. Everyone is encouraged to show up and cheer on our archers. To select the contenders, eight Endewearde archers with the highest scores from the Hunt (who are present and wish to compete) will advance. Other than choosing the eight contenders, the Hunt score will have no bearing on the champion shoot scores. In fact, the first shoot will help level the playing field for all; it's called "The Equalizer."
