[Ansteorra-archery] response - Congratulations, it's a bow

[Ferguson]

Robert,

My two cents worth:  AoB is great, and the last one was really good but, I 
also prefer separate bow making classes.  Some of our interested bowers are 
retired and we could travel around the country to attend bow making classes, 
but if you are willing to present the classes locally, why spend the gas and 
time traveling? also all members could attend.

I would think that SCA members within the Kingdom of Ansteorra - Middleford 
and Bryn Gwlad will fill the class but, if you want more students I will be 
happy to invite members of the Austin Archery Club, Hill Country Bowhunters 
Club, Boy Scouts, TPWD, etc..  I know of several people outside the SCA who 
are looking for such classes so they could go back and teach their members.

Perhaps both - Separate and SCA events:  You could conduct the classes 
separately and Sunday have a small SCA sponsored event.  The House Dragon 
Tower could have another mini-tournament or kids tournament or maybe a 
selfbow tournament.

What ever works best for you and Gillie.

Thanks again,  Fergus d'Onray
