But the Company's chief concern, along with their ceremonial duties, has always been the at- tainment of skill with the bow, for which purpose the butts in the grounds of Archers' Hall are regularly available for practice and instruction. Each year the members demonstrate their prowess in prize shoots, such as the competition for the Musselburgh Silver Arrow, and another important regular engagement is the triennial contest with the Woodmen of Arden.

As the fame of the Royal Archers spread, it was not uncommon for experts from other countries to travel to Scotland in order to challenge them on their own ground. One of these was a Turk who astounded the Company by shooting 415 yards against the wind and 463 with it. On another occasion, in 1818, the Archers were hosts to a team of American Indians, who delighted everyone by celebrating their victory with war dances.
