    Important Notice Regarding Tapatalk
    Due to a series of events, some unfortunate, players who have been using Tapatalk to access The Shotbow Network forums will have recently discovered that it is unable to properly connect. While this is unfortunate, it is easily rectified by unfollowing The Shotbow Network on tapatalk, and following it again by finding The Shotbow Network in the tapatalk forum search, or by clicking the Tapatalk banner when viewing The Shotbow Network website on a mobile device. You will recognize that it is the newer, fixed version as it will be an icon of the shotbow.

    Scheduled Events
    HCF DRAFT: Map 26 Start of the World
    After last Saturday's DRAFT Pick on the Shotbow Teamspeak, This Saturday marks the Start of the World for HCF's Draft Map (Map 26). Those who were not part of the draft are free to join as normal, but special rules may apply. Please check the HCFactions subreddit for more information.

    US/NA Annihilation Map Testing
    The Annihilation Team plans to test out maps on the US servers every week on Tuesday! These map tests will run from midnight-1am BST. I recommend RSVPing so that your calendar automatically translates that time to your local:

    EU Annihilation Map Testing
    Much like on US, The Annihilation Team plans to test out maps on the EU servers every week on Tuesday! These map tests will run from 5-6pm BST. I recommend RSVPing so that your calendar automatically translates that time to your local:

    This weekend we hit a weekend peak of around 2200. We're getting closer, and we hope to see the player peak easily toppled as we get closer and closer to the summer months!

    XP Code Goalposts

    That's a whole month in a row of hitting a goal! This week will be quite a challenge though... can you keep up the streak? Easiest one to hit would be Google+ which needs only about 250 more followers in order to unlock the next goal. Comeon, team!

    As previously discussed, this week you hit the goal on Twitch.tv! Your XP code is TWITCH1K!
