Group Archery Tournament

A couple of days ago Feudal Nippon held their first ever Group Archery Tournament. This was not a target shooting contest but a battle between two groups of warriors using only their bows and arrows. Curious to how it will play out, I went to Feudal Nippon. The tournament was held at their sky arena and the only way to get there was to use the teleporter located in their armory. When I got to the sky arena, I immediately changed my outfit to something more Japanese before coming out of the landing area.

Feudal Nippon

I just love visiting Feudal Nippon. The people are very warm, friendly and accomodating. Just a few seconds of my arrival at the sky arena, 10 or more people immediately greeted and welcomed me. I don’t know many of them but that didn’t stop them from being nice and friendly. LOL!

For the Group Archery Tournament, participants were divided into two groups and each group was assigned their corresponding areas on the sky arena. The areas where each group was assigned is found on each side of the sky arena. As I understand it, each group will have to shoot each other from that distance and location until only one remains standing.

When the shooting started, I didn’t know where the archers were. I couldn’t see anything but I could hear the arrows flying. I had to increase my draw distance to see what’s happening because the distance between each group was a little bit far. Using my camera, I was able to view and take snapshots of the participants in action but, unfortunately, a brief power failure ended my visit to Feudal Nippon.

I guess it’s fun when you are the one shooting but, since I was a spectator, it was a little bit boring to watch. Action was almost non-existent. Most were just standing there shooting their arrows until they die. Between sword fighting and shooting arrows, sword fighting or melee combat has more action and it’s more fun to watch than a group of people shooting arrows at each other. LOL! Don’t get me wrong because I’m sure it was fun for the participants! He he he!

Anyway, because of the power failure I was not able to finish the tournament. Also, I wasn’t able to say goodbye to the Emperor of Feudal Nippon properly because of that.
