To All,
Thanks for the insights.
Got the tights, and I also own all of the Robin the Hood Classics. :-)
Really, this all helps. It's the visibility of the award that I wish to
promote for the Archers here.
It's nice to have a target in mind and a path to the goal.
I just presented a fletching class last Sunday. Next is making the endless
bow string, then a Flemish string,
building and using a spine tester, then we move on to making a flat bow,
recurve, longbow, and finally
a crossbow. That's the plan. Then there will be the Bonwicke Champions,
(AKA Gothic War?) Labor
Day weekend 2013, watch for it. I am hoping that target archery will have a
large shoot program there plus any
combat archery that can be scheduled.
Yours in Service,
Lord Francois de Lions, Bonwicke
