The November session of the /r/Archery league is over + SUPER IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT INSIDE!

By

First things first, the announcement:

THE LINKS FOR ALL THE LEAGUE'S FORMS HAVE CHANGED! PLEASE UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS IF NECESSARY, AS THE OLD FORMS WILL BE DELETED IN THE FUTURE.

In the process of streamlining things for myself, I've merged the score submission form's output into the Rankings/Matchups sheet, and also moved the league's files completely into its own account on Google Drive. THIS MEANS THAT THE PREVIOUS LINKS YOU MIGHT HAVE BOOKMARKED ARE NO LONGER GOOD, AND SHOULD BE CHANGED.

The new links are as follows:

The Overall Rankings/Matchups sheet can now be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MigjrFgNjNSClhBusHGc6GBsngmUcJC5Pw05JpkMtGI/edit#gid=1283281208

The score submission form now can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5R1-y1AO-IMF3oV3p7aZxUOmEAqRSvo4IO4xFpvNYPtOGFg/viewform

Of note is that it is NO LONGER NECESSARY to go to some external site to upload your scorecard photo - it can now be done directly from the submission form. This should make it easier for everyone, but especially for those who score on their phones and have been required up until now to take extra steps to get their scorecard uploaded.

Additionally, to address mistakes I made this last session, score submissions are now publicly visible on the Overall Rankings sheet. This allows you to see if you made any mistakes, but more importantly, allows you to see if and when I have verified your submissions, and allows you to call me out on mistakes if I make them. Hopefully this will also allow me to figure out a system to completely automate scores populating the sheet, but that's a Future Speedly problem. =P

All links have been corrected on the league wiki page to reflect these changes.

And now, on to the results of November 2021!

The rankings sheet before processing can be found here.

If you need to withdraw between sessions, you can do so without penalty, but you need to contact me first!

And with that, the league again goes dormant until January. Thanks to everyone who participated, and congratulations to all of the winners!

Signups will resume shortly and a rule change discussion thread will pop up as always. Please tell your friends if you think they'd be interested in coming to play!

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...
