Ludicrous Bowmen of the Known World

The Ludicrous Bowman ranking is unofficial, but denotes an archer who has achieved a Royal Round Average of 120 or more points. It can be earned by any archer in the Known World of the SCA, as long as the Royal Rounds were shot by the same rules we use here in the East. Master Ailean's account of how the tradition started can be read at his site. The list below was created from Master Ailean's list and my own knowledge. If you have any corrections or can fill in any blanks - and, especially, if you learn of new achievements - please get in touch with me (see end of page).

As of June 2007, only 23 archers in the Known World have achieved the rank of Ludicrous Bowman.
