Archery Report for 6/10/15

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.

Sebhdann ingean Cinaedha: 50

Archery report for 5/9/15

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!
Open:
Rignach of Argyll: 64- career best!
Daffyd de Doake: 90
Rurik Sokolov: 55

Longbow:
Dearbhail: 77
Wulfwyn: 71

Period Longbow:
Gervais Blakglove: 70
Wulfwyn: 62

Period Crossbow:
John de Percy: 90

Shoot Straight my friends!

Archery Report for 5/6/15

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!
Open:
Evrard de Valogne: 89

Crossbow:
Evrard de Valogne: 86

Archery Report for 4/25/15

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!
Open:
Tomas Mac Donnchaidh: 68
Daffyd de Doake: 91
Tristan de Ver: 87
Irene McKenny: 62

Longbow:
Tristan de Ver: 80

First Wednesday practice coming soon, May 6th!

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!

Cupid Gets the Shaft (Wyewood Archery)

On Saturday, February 14th, from 10am to 1ish, will be our annual “Enhanced Practice” titled Cupid Gets the Shaft.
This will be at the practice range near IKEA, loaner gear will be available. As usual there is no site fee or medieval garb required. And also as usual there will also be no Royal Rounds or IKACs being shot.
What there will be though is:

  • Silliness
  • Novelty Shoots
  • Chocolate & bad candy
  • Prize Arrows.

Every year we introduce a couple of new shoots to the stand-bys and this year the Ladies have contributed:

  • “Awww you shouldn’t have! (No really, you shouldn’t have.)” presented by Lady Giulia Stanizi
  • “50 Shades of Cupid” by Lady Aetheria de Fleury

We are returning:

  • Heartbreaker
  • Conversationally Cupid
  • Speed Dating & of course
  • Cupid Gets the Shaft

What to Bring:

  • Bows and arrows
  • Friends/Family who just want to have a good time.
  • Snacks/ Bad candy/ Chocolate
  • Muck Boots (the range is muddy at best this time of year.)
  • Rain shade- just in case.
  • A Donation: express your appreciation of the fun you are having by feeding the Bubba Can!

Hope to see you all there!
Evrard de Valogne

PS: Last year the weather was most uncooperative so we hope to dodge the squalls and have some silly fun on the range. Feel free to petition your Diety of choice that it’s a wonderful rain free day!
