> It is my pleasure and privilege to report the winners of the archery
> tournaments held this weekend past in Canton.
>
> Dunchad Mor put an arrow through an apple at 40 yards to win the William
> Tell shoot.
>
> The Bowman's Tournament had a long interruption due to the arrival of a
> Texas summer storm. There were 31 entrants who signed up initially and 31
> who completed the shoot several hours later. Martino of Elfsea was the
> winner. This was Martino's first event and I am told that he has only been
> shooting for a few months. He went on to place in the top three in the
> Steppes Archer event, as well. Congratulations, Martino, on a stellar
> performance.
>
> The Children's Shoot had a smaller turn out than last year, but the
> enthusiasm of the young archers was infectious and fun to watch. All of
the
> participants received a period arrow crafted by HL Altair MacNamara to
serve
> as a remembrance of the day and encouragement to continue practicing.
Thank
> you HL Altair for your generous gift for our young people. Austin of the
> Steppes was the winner of the shoot. This was his first event, as well. He
> has been shooting for a few months with us and has a very impressive work
> ethic and skill level. Congratulations, Austin!
>
> The new Steppes Archer is Lughaidh MacSheoinin of Elfsea. Lughaidh showed
> himself to be a versatile and skilled archer in less than ideal
conditions.
> While there wasn't as much rain as there had been during the Bowman's
> Tournament, it was wet and there were some sprinkles. All sixteen of the
> competitors did well under the conditions.
>
> The premiere recipient of the Steppes Silver Arrow was Arcarius Thomas
> Quilliam of Wiesenfeuer who not only shot in three of the four events, he
> also served as our Chiurgeon, inspected, marshalled, instructed, and
helped
> with the setting up and taking down when needed....all with a cheerful
> demeanor. He showed the chivalric values of grace, honor, loyalty, etc and
> was chosen by his peers as an example of those values in action. Thanks,
> Thomas and congratulations!
>
> The Period Equipment competition had to be postponed and we will hold it
at
> a later date.
