[Ansteorra] Royal Huntsman - Special Tourney Rules***

[Ld.blackmoon]

greetings

unfortunatly not many sites have the right landscape, or size for a woods 
walk tourney and associated safety lines.and i dont know of any group that 
has enough 3d targets to do one either.
if you happen to be in northern oklahoma in march ( unfortunatly during gulf 
wars ) but if you can afford to go to war , its both fun and educational, i 
usualy wind up making kids bows for all the under 11 kids that come.  there 
is a free non sca event that teaches bow making and other primitive living 
skills near mooneshadow every year, and they have not only a free woods walk 
range, but also fund raiser shoots where you shoot at 3d targets across a 
large pond, with some very nice prizes .


Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .
Arthur
