[Ansteorra-archery] Lady of the Lake?

[Sebastian]

Ld Francois;

    I commend you for your efforts in building an archery community in Bonwicke, 
good luck.  To the best of my knowledge we have never had an archery manual 
other than the Academy of the Bow booklets.  In fact for a number of years no 
one even taught archery and that is why I was the first one to start teaching 
formal classes in archery to the best of my knowledge.  You are right we are 
over due for another Academy of the Bow, an issue I am looking into.  


    As for guidance in becoming an Arc D' Or, there is no set of specific 
guidlines.  What is expected varies depending on which member of the Order you 
ask.  Some members want better shooting, or teaching ability or crafting skills 
or service to the kingdom or more period equipment.  The same holds true with 
the White Scarf.  None of the Grant or Peerage level awards have a written set 
of specific guidelines that I am aware of.  They would be too much like merit 
badges if that were the case.  My personal opinion has always been that 
one should not strive to achieve an award, you should earn the award because you 
did what was right because it was the right thing to do.  I am always willing 
to teach someone archery but I am not good at telling them how to win "the" 
award (archery or rapier).  


    I realize I may not have told you what you wanted to hear, but I will always 
help the archery community as best I can.  If there is anything else I can help 
with please let me know.

Sebastian

Don Sebastian,

Greetings Honorable Lord!

Thank you for responding. I am trying to revive archery here in the Barony of 
Bonwicke and as
such I am authoring a training manual to inform, then instruct. I have found 
that there is no
Ansteorran Archery training manual per se. There are some informative links on 
the Kingdom
archery web page which are of great value, but they are generic. I was hoping to 
create something
slanted towards the SCA. I would like to include some sort of guideline for a 
path to the Arc'd Or award. 

I have read the award verbage, but I would also like to have your input as to 
how you see a candidate, 

and what her/his qualities should be ie. 

"A general expertise in bows, crossbows, selfbows, bow and arrow construction".

Please comment about the idea of a Ansteorran Archery training manual, and the 
path to the award.

Yours In Service,

Ld. Francois
