From the 300 squires participating in the tournament, 90% of them received the standard 8 to 10 points by hitting the 300-feet targets perfectly. That was the minimum requirement for them to be considered for the next stage.
Other than 8 squires who failed, there were 22 of them who managed to hit the 400 feet.
From his attempts, Emery could feel that the current longbow and arrows he held were not built to reach the 400-feet target in a straight line. Hence, to even have a shot at hitting said target, one had to have excellent archery skills and the capability to take account of the high shot trajectory and wind disruption.
Among the 22 squires, only the best ten were selected for the next round, Emery being one of them.
"Lanzelot Dulat!"
Emery smiled, his name was called as one of the ten chosen for the next round. Although he placed last due to the misses, he was not worried at all.
"Hey, Lanzo! I never thought you were that good!"
