<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"><PRE width=60>Attendance at practice continues to grow. "The
Challenge" helped bring some new shooters out but also
limited our time for shooting IKACs as the new archers
need to get comfortable shooting that many arrows. We
are about there. The second order of shafts just came
in so there will be plenty of fletching parties and
arrows to spare. We will be ordering some loaner bows
soon.
Our spring event (see separate report) went well. The
gentle that painted the realistic cardboard knight for
one of the targets has since created a 3D knight
(looking suspiciously like the <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1213049759_3 style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">Black Knight</SPAN> from Monty
Python) out of rigid pool noodles, foam exercise pads,
and tape. The gentle's name is Lord Lawrence of
Namron. The target's name is William Penn de Cushion,
aka "Frenchy".
"Frenchy" worked so well in practice that Lawrence
allowed me to take him to Steppes Warlord, where I
assisted in the marshalling. The final challenge of
the titled competition was to "fire at Will" and hit
him in the visor slot at approx. 30 yards. It was not
easy, but finally Lady Ker Megan nailed it. We plan on
making more of William's kinsmen for future shoots.
Another thing at Steppes was an informal Marshal Shoot.
We picked up a random loaner bow and six arrows out of
the bucket. Everyone used the same <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1213049759_4 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">bow and arrows</SPAN> and
fired at a twenty yard target. The highest score was
16... until the last shooter, His Majesty Aaron, shot
an 18. That's what kings do.
I must commend Baroness Annabelle, Lord Sebastiana,
Baron Donnchadh, Lord Ithrael, Lord Kristian, and Lord
Lawrence for their help with the archers at practice.
