Yesterday was an amazing day to enjoy shooting a little archery at the range!
Eighteen archers took the line and it nearly looked like a class reunion of the SCA archers. Names like Lovell, Kate, Rauthulfr, Osanna, Sebhdann and Marion joined us once again this Wendesday. Don’t be strangers guys!
We had one unusual happening, a brand new string for Osanna almost came completely apart after a couple of arrows downrange. No one injured and it looked worse than it was.
Did you know that every strand of B-50 string is rated for 45 pounds? Lots of redundancy built into a 12 strand bowstring!
To the Scores as 10 of the 18 attending archers recorded Royal Rounds.

Forty Five people attended a gorgeous Saturday morning practice, FORTY
FIVE! It’s like you guys like archery, rapier and thrown weapons in the
same location or something.
Our Baron and Baroness had a “kangaroo court” (In the Baron’s word’s
“Because you never know when we’re going to pop up!”) to give out the
remaining medallions for last years An Tir Top Ten rankings.
Wyewood earned around one third of all the medallions in all of An Tir last
year.
To put this in perspective, up until 2005, our fair branch had 3
medallions, all shot by children, until Daffyd and August medaled.
Since then we have earned 207 medallions.
We have come a long way from a fledgling canton to a strong barony where
the archers are known and feared.
To the Scores!

Rignach of Argyll: 64- career best!

Our first midweek practice is in the books for the season and 5 archers
took the range…well, we went to the spot where the range is supposed to
be but found it really overgrown with grass. Chest high grass in fact,
amazing what sun and rain can do to that stuff!
There will have to be a range day soon or, seriously, you won’t see the
targets.
To the scores!

Sorry for the lateness of the report, was having too much fun get ready for
and being at Daffodil Archery shoot!
We had great weather, enough so that the smell of sunscreen was strong in
the air at the beginning of practice.
Eighteen archers attended and many shot Royal Rounds! Something to note;
No one reported a score under 62, so everyone was at least Bowman ranking
which is darn impressive.
To the Scores!

Greetings Archers!
The sun is lingering in the sky more and more, and fabulous weather has
been welcoming us many mornings. Let’s celebrate that with archery after
work!
This will be at the same location as always at the range near IKEA.
It will start at 4:30 as I am off work at 4pm but work close by. It will
go until 7:30 or until we are too tired to shoot.
This will be a weekly practice, Weather Permitting as always.
Limited loaner gear available so please let me know if you need any!
This is a great time to come relax after a long day, work on form and focus
and just have the fun of watching an arrow/bolt fly.
See you there!
