Lochac Target Archery and Thrown Weapons Handbook – Plain English Edition

This document is a version of the Society Target Archery Marshal's Handbook (October 2016) rules, and the Thrown Weapons Marshal's Handbook (October 2016) written in plain English, according to the New Zealand Government Style Guide for government agencies, and in line with plainenglish.gov in the US.

Our archers, throwers and marshals shouldn't need a tertiary degree to understand the rules and how to participate.

Put simply, plain English makes following the rules easier.

These rules are ordered so that partcipants can more easier find information on how to take part.

Angele de Savigny Deputy Earl Marshal for Archery – Lochac.
