Quoted from the Frequently Rejected page, and contrary to several sources that have been posted on the forums.
"Archery Skill or Archery Contest in Tournaments
Archery was not something nobles did. It does not fit the milieu."
The latter line has already been proven false, and I can show you several sources that refute this if you like. So when people keep quoting this as a reason to not include some sort of archery, that just means they're putting on blinders and refusing to face the facts.
