New thrown weapons target to be Standard for Trimaris
Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 1:22 am
Another project recently completed was the target (my own target as each of my Mentors have one) that is now going to become the standard throwing target for the Kingdom of Trimaris. My objectives for my term of service are a simple trickle down type platform that is designed to bring legitimacy to the area of thrown weapons outside the shadow of archery. Don't get me wrong, I am an archery marshal but have specialized in TW. In fact I took time out during the event to enter the King's Huntsman's Tourney and came in second place in a field of 23 archers. (I am actually very happy he beat me by 2 points because now I don't have the added responsibility of that position on top of my own.)
Anyway back to the point. The goal for legitimacy is three fold.
1-There is to be Thrown Weapons whenever there is archery present. (more if possible)
2-Each time Thrown weapons are made available there shall be Royal rounds (a form of scoring that is counted on the society level) Shot with Scrolls and prizes awarded.
3-Standard Targets will be made for Marshals by region and there will be a deputy assigned to that region to facilitate the goals listed above. As more groups become active more marshals and Targets will be assigned and built so that intra-Kingdom throwing teams can be established. The highest scores in the kingdom will form the team that will compete on the society level between kingdoms.
This then is the target that I am putting together a pdf on that we will put on the website so that the groups will have standard measurements and scantlings to build throughout the kingdom, yet all parts can be interchangeable. The standard face will give noone an unfair advantage.
The face is removable and replaceable the frame and legs fit into a standar size trunk and the dog lead wire looped through a rebar "U", keeps the target from falling forward or pushing back.
