The Arcus Company
Blackhawks
The bow. An efficient, yet often overlooked weapon. Elegant, but deadly. Dynamic, yet precise. Mastering it can take years, and it takes years more to apply it it in combat.
The Blackhawks are a newly formed archer company within the Order of the Golden Crow. Comprised of only the most skilled bowmen, and equipped with the finest gear, the Arcus Company is the mind-child of the elf Ecthallion, a long-standing member of the northern realm. The Company is based around the simple idea that the bow triumphs over the sword when the two are pitted against each other. The Company is sworn to Lord Karl Barbanov, of Siegrad.
Functions and activities
Men of the Arcus Company eat, sleep, train, and fight among the mighty warriors of the North, and many recruits for the Company are selected out of the pool of warriors enlisted in the Order. During battles, they are used as a support unit for the main force, using their bows to wreak havoc among the enemy’s ranks. The Company also participates in regular hunts of large beasts, putting their skill with a bow to protect the Northern realm and it's inhabitants.
Blackhawks are expected to maintain their prowess with their bow, and to keep their equipment in order. Any man of the Company who does not meet these requirements will be expelled from our ranks..
Recruitment
Blackhawks are hand picked from the Order of the Golden Crow, and from among the pool of men and women who apply for the Company specifically (( On this thread)).

Basically, this is a military group that only uses bows. If you’re not accurate with a minecraft bow, you will be kicked out of the Company. We will have tons of archery focused events, and we participate in all of the Order of the Golden Crow’s activities. Ranks are identical to the ones in the Crow.
