We, <Current Baron> and <Current Baroness>, Baron and Baroness of the Sacred Stone, are led to address this missive to you, <recipient>, by the high repute which attaches to your name in the field of archery. The valiant and noble spirit that aspires to be the best at the bow must aim not at the goal of attaining honors but at breadth of learning, dedication to practice, courtesy on and off the field and honor in every endeavor.

A most illustrious gentle, you have demonstrated all of these attributes and more. You will find no finer example of prowess, constancy and devotion.

Thus We are moved to recognize you as a Companion of the Order of the Yeoman of the Sacred Stone and allow unto you the badge of the Order: Argent, a fist maintaining an arrow vert with the tip engulfed proper issuant from flames proper.

The importance of this last is hardly to be disregarded for it is among the highest marks of distinction allowed.

To this We set Our Hand this <day of the month> day of <month>, [A.S./Anno Societatis] <year in Roman numerals>, at <event>.
