Many are the ways one may render service as an archer in these lands. First of all, yew could serve as a Marshal of the Bow, useful to ensure that others may practice the Art of Archery. Also admirable wood be those who have stood as an Archery Champion and do not loose composure nor quiver when competing for their patrons’ honour. Butt we must also tip our caps to one who likewise serves upon engines of seigecraft without being vane. Therefore we, Dubhessa and Joffr, give unto Duncan MacLeod the Award of the Hare Salient. Done November 12, AS 57 at Feast of the Hare in our Canton of Caldrithig.
Wording by Baron Colyne Stewart, very loosely based on The Art of Archery by Anon., c. 1515. Translation by H. Walrond, 1901.
