Description:
Join us for a day of fun and archery! Come out and shoot at strange and magical creatures. A prize will be given to someone that can guess the theme of the shoot and where these creatures came from and can be won by non- archers as well. There will be lots of other prizes to be won as well by the archers. The top rank of each royal round class will have a medal that they can take home with them, it will need to be returned for the following year. Additional prizes will be announced later.

 As customary with the Royal Archery competition, there will be a 16-person shoot-off at the end to announce the Royal Archer Champion. The person that wins this will be able to place their coat of arms on the Royal Archer Quiver and will be in charge of putting the shoot together for the following year. For those that won a medal for their ranking in 2025, please get in contact with Chris LeStrange to return it so that we can pass it on to the new winners this year. You can contact him at ChrisRStrange@gmail.com.
