Once again another thrilling and exciting Contest this season, populated by a sea of Marksman and a fair handfull of eager to impress Guardsmen. While some showed less then capable skills in drawing an arrow (let alone firing the bow), they gave it their best shot, if you pardon the punn.
In total twelve competetors faced each other in a desperate fight of eye coordination and skill to get through the first round, but of course only six could go through. The first few games were tough but entertaining to say the least. As we moved into Round two, things started to get a lot more professional with most Marksman making it through with the exception of a Lone Waywatcher and an Ironarm.

The end game saw three Marksman in the end slugging it out for 3rd, 2nd and 1st place, and while I hoped to see a new name added to the Champions Table, this seasons contest was won by previous Champion Nathanial Hawk, who has once again earned his place on the Champions Table (http://www.grd-europa.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=63)
A Good turn out and a well played game by all involved. Let us hope for as equal interest and turn out next season.
