[Ansteorra-archery] reminders of past stickenflingers

[Crandall]

If you program the Way-Back machine in
Bjornsborg, you will find that it was one of the
few bastions of archery in the Kingdom. There
were usually 5-8 people at every practice, and
IKAC at every event in the area. Though many of
us were so busy with other duties that we rarely
got to finish a round. 
We made hundreds of arrows, both target and
Markland style. 
We used to shoot at Gassmann's. Is that still
there?
