Archery Contest
Once upon a time there was an archery contest.

The first archer, wearing a long cape covering his face, lines up in position... He takes a deep breath and fires an arrow which finds the center of the target. Then he takes of his cape and screams: I AM...... ROBIN HOOD!!! The crowd cheers!

The second archer with a cape lines up in position. He fires his arrow which hits the center and cuts robin hood's arrow into two!!! He takes off his cape and screams: I AM...... WILLIAM TELL!!!!!! The crowd cheers!!

Finally, a third man in cape lines up in position... He fires his arrow but it goes all wrong!!! It flies past the crowd and strikes the King's Crown!!!

Then the man takes off his cape and screams: I AM...... SORRY!!!

 

Archery Targets
A duke was hunting in the forest with his men-at-arms and servants; he came across a tree. Upon it, archery targets were painted and smack in the middle of each was an arrow. 'Who is this incredibly fine archer?' cried the duke. 'I must find him!'

After continuing through the forest for a few miles he came across a small boy carrying a bow and arrow. Eventually the boy admitted that it was he who shot the arrows plumb in the center of all the targets. 'You didn't just walk up to the targets and hammer the arrows into the middle, did you?' asked the duke worriedly. 'No my lord. I shot them from a hundred paces. I swear it by all that I hold holy.' '

That is truly astonishing,' said the duke. 'I hereby admit you into my service.' The boy thanked him profusely. 'But I must ask one favor in return,' the duke continued. 'You must tell me how you came to be such an outstanding shot?' '

Well,' said the boy, 'first I fire the arrow at the tree, and then I paint the target around

  Bow Ties
It's very uncommon for two archers to have the same score.

Everyone knows that bow ties went out of style years ago
