[SCA-BMDL] From the Captain of Archers

[Bill & Jane]

Greetings,
 
Sorry to intrude on your announcement but we in Steltonwald are having a
demo on Sunday April 2.  It is our annual Maple Syrup Demo at Brady's
Run Park.  We will be having a twenty yard range with all kinds of fun
things to shoot and an audience to watch and cheer you on.  We will be
shooting from around 9 in the morning until 3:30 or 4 PM.
Please consider using us as an alternate practice site.  You can share
some good shooting, good times, and the great companionship of
Steltonwald's archers.
 
Respectfully hoping to see many of the Barony's finest.
 
Master Jacopo

It's almost time to restart Archery!
 
Weather permitting, we'll begin outdoor practice at the Washington
Boulevard site on Sunday, April 2nd. Practice will start at 11:00 and
continue to one or two o'clock when the fencers and fighters begin. I'll
probably be there a little early to get started with site clean-up (help
is appreciated) but we will get plenty of shooting in.
 
The most preliminary weather forecast is calling for temperatures in the
high fifties or low sixties with a chance of rain.
 
This year I plan to set up two targets or ranges. One will feature the
usual bulls-eye, but the other will have novelty targets. Some will get
us ready for competitions with wands and wreaths, but others will be
just fun, like the dragon poster we shot at the last practice last year.
Thanks to Josh or Ian and Neal, we have also often had a shorter range
setup for the juniors.
 
Also does anyone have plans for a simple catapult or trebuchet? I'm
planning a novelty/competition shoot for later this year and need to
assemble one.
 
As always, I'll have plenty of loaner equipment for both juniors and
seniors.
 
Don't forget to brings chairs and water! There are no facilities. (We'll
be lucky if we get the whole parking lot back.)
 
Starting in May, archery will be featured at several events include
Will's Revenge on May 5th through the 7th hosted by the Shire of Abhainn
Ciach Ghlais  (that's in Berwick, PA).
 
I'll send out another email later this week as we get a better idea on
Sunday's forecast.
 
In service to the Barony-Marche,
