Hear ye! Hear ye! As promised, our next adventure in Ravenwood will include many exciting tournaments and contests. Check out the details of each contest below! Note that some contests require you to sign up by commenting on this post.
Dodgebow Archery Tournament
This is a team contest that requires one archer and one “target” per team. Two teams will compete against each other at a time. The archers from each team will stand side by side while their teammates will be located downrange in a roped off circle on the ground. The goal of the game is to shoot your opponent’s teammate before they shoot yours. The “targets” are encouraged to jump, dodge, drop, grab their opponent and use them as a body shield, or use any other means necessary to keep from being hit. Several rounds of this will be played until one team remains.
Prize: 10 Shillings
Traditional Archery Tournament
This is an individual based contest. Contestants will be shooting arrows with real tips into a stationary straw target. For the first round, all archers will get three shots at the target and will only count their best shot. The top 4 archers from the first round will move on to the next round. These archers will each get two shots at the target and will only count their best shot. The top two archers will move onto the final round. For the final round, each archer will only get one shot at the target. The best shot takes home the victory.
