  Archers!


The Lady of the Lake event was well attended and much fun was had by 
all! If you did not attend you missed a GREAT event! And the Feast was 
hearty and tasty! We had attractive belly dancers whom used Scimitars in
 their dancing during the feast!

We wish to thank the Shire of Adlersruhe, and in particular Lords Wilkin
 and Albin for their generosity and help to Bonwicke Archery.
We now have 6 more bows to use for practice, and the experience of a unique Archery shoot!

The archery contest consisted of a reverse ring shoot, a 5 card stud 
shoot, a name shoot, a triangle shoot, a bug shoot, a William Tell 
shoot, and an arrow spacing shoot. If I remember correctly (there was 
alot of SUN), we had 10 archers participating. 

During the mid-day break The Baron of Bonwicke and others tried their 
hand at shooting and did well. The Baron was quite good, so don't let 
him tell you that he only is good at heavy fighting!

We were taught the proper way to marshal an archery competition, and 
what to look for in the way of range layout, safety concerns including 
damaged bows, arrows, and strings.

Many of us lost arrow points to the target butt, but no arrows were 
lost. We experienced a delaminated bow during the shoot, and Lord Albin 
had to continue the shoot handicapped by using a longbow he was 
unfamiliar with, which gave the rest of us an advantage.

There were many excellent Archers present, and luck played a large part 
in determining the ultimate winner. I confess that is was a lucky bug 
shot that added points to my score, that enabled me to be
winner. There were better archers there than I, and I am humble before 
them, and I hope that next year, I can be more worthy to carry the 
Dragon Quiver of Adlersruhe.

Vivat Adlersruhe! Vivat Bonwicke! Vivat Ansteorra!

In Service,
Francois de Lions
