  Hey, there $57.00 I collected in that auction to help with the refit of the
  combat arrows.  It's either use it or turn it in.  And personnally I'd
  rather see it get used on combat arrows.  Let me know.

  Yeap, I know about those lonely sessions of making arrows.  Spending Friday
  night alone at Finlayson to keep the place open in case someone showed that
  I didn't know was coming and still being the only one on site come day
  light.  Ahhhhh the solitude.

  Which APD type are you using?

  Gilli

  That didn't start out to be the plan but it's beginning to look like it
  may be possible for next year and to a small degree this year, the refit
  has really cost us!

  House Arkham is merchant household dedicated to promoting artisan &
  tradesman skills, inter-Kingdom commerce, & service.
  We also promote archery and maintain a standing unit of household combat
  archers & siege engineers of which about ten are planning to attend Gulf
  War this year.

  So last June we (the household) decided to start production of and
  maintain a household combat archery arsenal.  As they say "many hands
  makes the work go much faster".  We hold combat archery workshops every
  Saturday possible in order to prepare and/or repair our combat archer's
  armor, combat arrows & bolts, quivers, etc. for use in the field.  It's
  open to anyone who wishes to attend and we've helped to train a few new
  combat archers during these workdays.

  But you know how it is, sometimes Guyjin and I find ourselves working in
  the shop on weeknights.  As the war draws near that becomes more the rule
  rather than the exception.

  We had hoped to finance the arsenal from merchanting at events but so far
  that has only served to supplement it a bit.  Most of the supplies have
  been donated or paid out of the pockets of our combat archers.  But the
  goal is to have enough extras to supply budding combat archers with the
  armor & arrows needed to get into the fight until they can afford to
  supply themselves.  Yes I know the marshalite would prefer that persons
  are not authorized until they have their own equipment, but if we can
  assist them in that endeavor, so the better!

  All who attend do a great job and we have lot's of fun!  Guys work in the
  shop and the Gals work on garb, with a few notable exceptions and visits
  back and forth.  We do pot luck or order out near the end of the day,
  visit and review the days progress together during dinner.  Together they
  really get a lot done!
