Miestra named a county so it's her problem now. That's the rule that I just made up. Haha!   ;D

My county will be called Manáweg County. Actually, that brings up an interesting point.

First, are we using the English "county" or the Talossan "cuntat"? Second, does the county bit go before or after the name? Is it Manáweg County, County Manáweg, Cuntat Manáweg or Manáweg Cuntat? Or is it something like Cuntat del Manáweg? Fost, is Manáweg feminine? Cuntat dal Manáweg?

Too complicated. Where's Miestra?  ;D

Yeah, I'll take the green county in Las înaltans Maxhestic, if everyone else is ok with it.

Also, I'm not seeing the marina. Do you have a location?

I'm working on a glossary of archery terms in Talossan. Some of the terms have been easy to find while others are a bit more problematic.

Archery is typically shot in "rounds" with each round consisting of multiple "ends". I don't know what term would best be used for a round and an end. Your help is greatly appreciated.

We will be using the Archery Club app for this month's virtual shoot.

You can use any equipment that have however, boosters are prohibited.

Each pairing will have one week to post their scores. You can post your scores below.

If an archer is unable to shoot for any reason within the one week time frame, they must forfeit the game and points will be awarded to their competitor. If both archers are unable to shoot within the one week time frame, no points will be awarded.


Each game will be contested under "best of three" rules. Therefore, each game must have a minimum of two matches.

Each match will consist of two rounds. If the scores are tied after two rounds, there is a third tiebreaker round.


One point will be awarded for each round won.

A bonus point will be awarded for a "shutout" (i.e. one archer winning the first two rounds of a match).

Maximum points awarded per match = 3 points.



The top two archers this month will compete head to head in Week Four to decide the Toxophilite Club's TOP SHOT for the month of September.

Have fun, be respectful and good luck.

I still think we should each pick a county and do what we want with it.

As for naming conventions, I think each county should have at least one township with a Talossan name.

Should we pick a township to act as our provincial capital? We should probably decide what our provincial capital is called, too. ;D

My current bow is a Howard Hill "Half-breed" longbow. I inherited it from my father. It's listed as 55lbs at 28 inches but I think it's getting tired. It's a nice bow but it's getting old and I'm thinking of getting a new one. I'll probably get a longbow from 3 Rivers Archery but I've also been looking at the horse bows sold by Seven Meadows and Saluki.

As for the locked topic, that's basically the "welcome page" for the club. I'll be adding some more info later.

Traditional archery is often defined by the equipment used. The most common bows used for traditional archery are the longbow and the recurve bow. While the longbow is often associated with traditional archery, the recurve bow is considerably more popular.

The longbow and recurve bow might be the most common bows used today but they are not the only options. The history of archery goes back thousands of years and cultures around the world have developed their own archery traditions and equipment. From the simple "selfbow" to the more complex Asiatic "horse bow", traditional archery takes many forms. The Toxophilite Club embraces all of these archery traditions and encourages it's members to explore those traditions.

Obviously, each county should have a name. I'd like one of the counties along the river because I want to name mine "Manáweg" after the Milwaukee River.

I like the idea of county colours. I don't think we need to have a common colour. As they say, "Variety is the spice of life". (:

I don't know if you can just add traditions to anything. I think those develop over time. You can certainly "plant the seeds" of tradition. I leave that up to you and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I certainly think we should each have a county symbol. If you want to select an animal, I have no issue with that.

I have a lot of ideas about this but I need to get those ideas in order before I share them.

The flag is based on imagery from the TV show "Firefly". If I remember correctly, when I suggested the idea, the star was point up. Can't remember why it got flipped.

I completely agree that every county have a flag and possibly a coat of arms or something like that. Gives us the opportunity to do something creative with our province.

I think that each of us (given that there appears to be 5 active Fiôvâns) should get a county to "play with". If you have your heart set on one, I have no problem with you taking it Bråneu.

This has happened every single time I've tried to explain Talossa to people. They are completely dumbfounded by the entire concept of Talossa. That's why I stopped trying.

Is Republican Witt gone? I was hoping to find it online and see when I started the Toxophilite Club. Can anybody help me with that?

I think it's safe to say that I'm the most apolitical person in Talossa. I don't pay much attention to what goes on in Abbaville. Seems most people appreciate the apology and that's nice.

As the acting Caption of the Toxophilite Club, I hereby official invite King John to join our club.

I take it this passed?

It is kind of messed up that Taco Bell is our "national cuisine". We can do better.

I thought the reason Taco Bell was chosen was because of unlimited refills on fountain drinks. If that's the case, it makes it even more messed up.
