A little piece of history
In the spring of 2008, the Guards of Marksmanship clan was created in Guild Wars by a player called Knight West.
Later in that year, Ronah was invited by Crimson Stormcaller join in.
In the summer of 2008, Kinght West left and so Crimson was entitled leader. Due to some personal reasons, Crimsom had to leave also and she promoted Ronah as leader of the guild.
Since the autumn of 2008, Ronah has spent time to recruit players for the guild and so the guild has got bigger and stronger. There have been a lot of movements within the guild: players promoted to officers, officers demoted to members, players excluded for inactivity or rudeness, players who just wanted to follow their own paths, players who have just joined for having a place to leave from.
In the late 2009, Ronah has decided that there is the time for a change so the BOWS will be reinvented as a guild.
And now the new adventures of BOWS continue......

Guards Of Marksmanship - 2010 AD
The Legendary Survivor year
We are really proud to tell you that this year, our guild set up a goal to have many Legendary survivor characters. This title is one of the hardest ones to achieve and that's why we have set our goals for it. Everyone who is eager to get that title can ask some of our members to find out how you can achieve that in the safest way.
New Cape - 2010 AD
As you can see, our guild cape is one of the most unique capes that have ever existed in Guild Wars.
The elements that make our cape a distinct one are its vivid colors and symbolic meanings.
The bird represents our desire to be the best or fly above the rest, free to choose the path we take in the Guild Wars universe
The fire - represents our determination to achieve the highest levels of our goals.
As a new thing addition to the guild's look, the new "cape color change" motto
Changing base colors represents our ability to adapt to different situations that may occur and also to all characters of our players.

Guards Of Marksmanship
Here we will tell you how we have decided to put this name to our guild
At the Guards Of Marksmanship guild we believe that every player should be free to set their own targets. All players take aim at their own targets and try to focus on achieving them while playing Guild Wars. We chose the word "Guards" because it gives us all a feeling that we are protecting the rights of our members to play Guild Wars with their own targets and in their own way.
The guild have chosen than one word that could include all of a guild wars player goals. "Marksmanship." Even though this attribute is specific to the ranger profession, its meaning applies to everyone who takes aim at a goal include all of a games

BOWS -Be One With Success
We thought there should be a connection between the guild's name and its tag. It just didn't feel right for us to simply make an abbreviation of the guild's name - GoM. It felt so meaningless. So... we thought to create a tag that has more connections to the guild's name.
Marksmanship is fully related to "the bow" and most of the time, when everyone will see the word "bow" next to our characters names, they will think of it as a ranger equipment (weapon) and if they will think more carefully, they might get to the 'marksmanship" word too. This way, BOW was a good tag for our guild. But…
We wanted to give a more powerful meaning to our tag, too.
BOWS - the equipments (weapons) related to "marksmanship".
BOWS - the actions that people do to show respect to the others.
