[Ansteorra-archery] New archery group?

Thanks Iaen,

That's what I get for trying to multitask between rooms. Cut and pasted too carelessly, I think. The target stuff hasn't changed much, but combat...ugh, constant changes. Some of that needs to come off the page or be archived someplace.

Arden, you are getting good advice here.  The only change I would make to what Lyneya has said is too drop Ansteorran War Heads - June 2001 - A.S. XXXVI - Gilbert Ost Westley.  These heads were designed for wooden shafted combat arrows and are not legal in the Society anymore.  Might I suggest  http://marshal.ansteorra.org/archery/files/aob2003/uhmw.pdf  Which with the exception of the outside wrap around the head bringing it up to the 1.5" diameter (http://sca.org/officers/marshal/combat/c_archery/) now required is fairly up to date.  These types of arrows/bolts are now what are used for the IKCAC in this kingdom and also Combat Archery.

Arden,

We are excited to hear that there is someone interested in starting up archery in Rosenfeld. The nearest group to you that has regular practices is the Barony of the Steppes. Weather permitting, they will be holding practice next Sunday, the 20th at Eastfield College near the tennis courts at 11 a.m. HL Katya will be officiating at that practice as she and Sir Lasguaard rotate the duty.

HL Iaen gave you the primary references that we use. There are no official range requirements, as such, but generally you will want a range wide enough for 5 ft of space between archers on the line and your safety margins will extend 45 degrees from each end of that firing line back to your farthest target and then straight back from that target to a point that doubles the distance from the firing line to that target. In the case of most shoots, that will be a 40 yard distance from the firing line to the 40 yard target and then 40 additional yards beyond the target.

Please note that this is not a requirement, but it is highly recommended. There are exceptions, of course. The Steppes practice range just barely fits most of this, but it is acceptable because it has been used as an archery range by Eastfield College in the past.

In order for you to hold official practices or submit scores for IKAC or Royal Rounds, you must have a warranted marshal and an officer of your group at the practice. If you are going to call this an SCA practice, you must have a marshal present.

The Ansteorra Archery page has links to the reference material you will need. http://marshal.ansteorra.org/archery/ . Click on the References and Manuals link on the left.

For target archery you will want to concentrate on the Target Archery Rules and Duties of Ansteorran Archery Marshals as primary resources. The following are also extremely valuable. I keep copies of most of these in my Archery Binder.

Beginning Archery - June 2001 - A.S. XXXVI - Rumil Fletcher 

Setting Up a Target Archery Range - June 2001 - A.S. XXXVI - Wilim Penbras 
Inspecting Target Archery Equipment - June 2001 - A.S. XXXVI - Wilim Penbras 
Inspecting Combat Archery Equipment - June 2001 - A.S. XXXVI - Wilim Penbras 
Gilli's Ten Commandments of Range Safety - June 2001 - A.S. XXXVI - Gilbert Ost Westley 
Running an Archery Range - June 2001 - A.S. XXXVI - Gilbert Ost Westley 
Ansteorran War Heads - June 2001 - A.S. XXXVI - Gilbert Ost Westley 
Target Archery Safety Rules - April 2002 - A.S. XXXVI - Eadric Anstapa 
Ansteorran Royal Rounds - April 2002 - A.S. XXXVI - Iaen Mor 

We can work at making you a marshal if you are not one already. Please give me a call at 972-429-8985 (home) or 972-896-1505 (cell) and we will see how to get you set up.

In service,

Lyneya de Grey

Greetings,
I am considering getting back into archery (something that I have enjoyed for years, but no longer have equipment), and recently was able to use loaner gear and shoot at the Grand Assembly of Archers, and Emerald Keep.
Where I live is considered Rosenfeld, and there is no official archery there.
I have found three locations to practice, but they are 30, 40, and 60 minutes away. (two archery stores and some type of park in Mineola)
I have glanced at the Marshall’s handbook, but can not find any specifics for setting up a target range and safety.
Ideally I would love to find a closer location to set up, and even benefit more SCA people, or even in conjunction with a heavy fighter practice at a city park.
Is there such a handbook?

Arden
