Not very good scores in those kind of winds! 

Greylond's combat arrows couldn't even reach the target at 40 
yd's before they would lose energy and drop (sometimes even 
losing ground).  I used crossbow and didn't even take proper aim 
at that distance but shot from the hip with a high arc just to get 
the combat bolts out there (kind of mortar dropped them in).  

"Bob" our combat archery target (not to be confused "headless 
Bob" our other target) was tilted back almost 45 degrees just to 
keep him standing in the strong wind.  Greylond will have to 
chime in for the exact scores, I didn't even take note because the 
wind was so bad, but at least we were out there doing an IKCAC 
(got to start sometime).

Our Steppes archery marshal almost canceled our static shoot 
because of the wind.  The Eastfield archery range is known for 
it's strong southerly breeze (as you can tell from the permanently 
bent trees), but it was really strong last Sunday.

Oh well, weather permitting we'll be out there again next Sunday 
lofting shafts, or maybe flying kites!

PS: On the upside, Jacques made the Steppes some new wooden 
stands for the larger size straw archery butts that stayed solid an a 
rock during the whole windy practice.
