The November league is officially in the books! Prizes, finishing positions, and whatnot inside!

By

The Official 2020 Coronavirus League is DONE! May 2021 be everything that this crappy year was not.

There were... a lot of suspensions this session. If you can't participate, that's fine, but it kind of sucks to put all this together for everyone and then to have people just not show up. Please let me know if you don't think you'll be able to finish the next session before it starts, so people aren't just shooting against nobody. If we wanted to shoot alone, we could just practice at home.

In other news, let's all give a hand to the new League #1 archer, /u/archer_rob! He's my coach, so someone needs to go beat him next session!

Weekly Awards come first!

Squeek-er of the Week-er© (patent pending), of course, goes out to... sighhhhh... my opponent (because of course I would give up another Special Prize), /u/drsteezymd! They won their match against me by 11 points to take the award. Good job! ya jerkface

...in fact, upon reading a bit more, I gave up not one, but BOTH Special Prizes this week. Dr. Steezy took the Upset Of The Week™® prize from me as well.

I have failed everyone as a league leader. I will schedule my harakiri session soon to atone for the shame I have brought upon my league, my family, myself, and my horse.

Disclaimer: that was a joke, don't go calling 911 or anything. Although maybe go watch Mulan if you don't get the reference!

Final awards for the divisions are as follows:

Division 1

Gold: DrSteezyMD

Silver: Archer_Rob

Bronze: Solonys

Division 2

Gold: MikeRhyne

Silver: kcsskittles

Bronze: evelbug

Division 3

Gold: bananaboy23

Silver: dougbaker45

Bronze: 5lovestarr

My sincere thanks to everyone who participated, and congratulations to all the winners! Remember, everyone is signed up automatically for the January 2021 session, so if you need/want to pull your name from the list, you need to let me know!

I'll be posting a signup thread soon. If you know anyone that might want to join in the fun, please let them know about our league! The more people we have, the more even the matches and divisions should be!

I'll also be posting a discussion thread for changes to the league that anyone might want to propose. Keep an eye out for that!

I hope everyone's Christmas goes as well as it possibly can. Be safe!

PS: By the way, if you want to see the November sheet before processing, here's where you can do that!

Happy St. Crispin's Day!

By
Battle of Agincourt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ​ Part of the Hundred Years' War Date 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) Location Azincourt, County of Saint-Pol (now Pas-de-Calais) Result English victory ​ The Battle of Agincourt French: Azincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War. It took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) near Azincourt, in northern France.[b] The unexpected English victory against the numerically superior French army boosted English morale and prestige, crippled France and started a new period of English dominance in the war. ​ After several decades of relative peace, the English had resumed the war in 1415 amid the failure of negotiations with the French. In the ensuing campaign, many soldiers died from disease, and the English numbers dwindled; they tried to withdraw to English-held Calais but found their path blocked by a considerably larger French army. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the ba...

New Archers: What information do you need to know, and how do you find it?

By
One thing that I love about this community compared to other online archery forums is that it's got a good mix of experience. It's also where a lot of new archers seem to come for advice when starting out. That's great! However, it can be frustrating to give good advice without the correct information. Every body is different, and so every archer's setup and starting point is going to be a little different too. Eye dominance: For any shooting sport, it's important to know which eye is dominant because that's the eye that you will naturally aim with. There are several different tests that you can do, but the one that I've found to be most simple is to hold your hands up with your fingers and thumbs extended and overlap them so that they make a triangle. Look at an object in the distance through that triangle. Then you can either close each eye (one at a time) or bring your hands back to your face while continuing to look at the object. The eye that keeps ...

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c...
