[Ansteorra-archery] Need At Least Two More Kids

[Bob Dewart]

Any score is better than no score.  Were there any posted?  Has there been any IKCAC from you all so far this year?

The more arrows you loose, the more that can hit GOLD.

  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.
