Greetings all! Just a quick reminder House Arkham plans
to sponser what is becoming an annual activity during our
Steppes' 12th Night celebration, the "Feast Crossbow &
Table Top Seige Competition"!
This is a contest which appeals to the child within each
of us at all ages and if you have yet to attend this most
entertaining contest you have really missed one of the
little gems of Steppes' 12th Night! So please plan to
come an join us for this extremely fun and delightful
competition!
The contest is currently planed to start following the
"Royal Huntsman Tournament" as soon as the mini
target range can be set up. Sign up shall begin at the
close of the "Royal Hunysman Tournament" as soon
as our "List Babe" volunteers deem sign up is open.
2006 CONTEST RULES:
The competition is open to small hand held or table top
devises constructed for the purpose of hurling small bits
of food stuffs (marshmallows, grapes, cheese cubes,
veggies, etc.) which can met the following conditions:
1) All devises must be declaired one of two categories:
"Hand held" - those meant to be fired while held in the
hand (so called "baby", "feast", or "mini" crossbows).
Or "Table top" - those meant to be fired while sitting on
a flat surface (so called "baby, "feast", or "mini"
trebuchet, ballisita, or catapult)!
2) All feast devises must fit within a sixteen inch feast
platter (circle) to enter!
3) All string & prod powered feast devises (crossbows
and some ballisita) may not exceed a draw of eight
pounds!
4) All devises must be capable of firing grapes as ammo.
All ammo (grapes only) will be supplied by the contest
sponsers. No other projectiles will be allowed!
5) All contestants must demonstrate to the attending
marshals that their "feast devise" is safe, in good working
order, and they can operate it in a safe & sane manner!
6) All contestants must compete in the competition
using one "feast weapon" only!
THE COMPETITION:
- All contestants must lesson for their names to be
called, absent contestants will be rotated to the end of
the list once and only once! Should a contestant be
declaired absent a second time when their name is
called they will be stricken from the competitors list!
- All contestants shall be allowed to pick twelve grapes,
six for ranging & practice shots, and six for scoring
shots. Any grapes which fly to pieces upon firing do
count as shots, so pick your grape shot well!
- The competitor with the highest recorded score at the
completion of the list shall be declaired the winner of the
contest!
We're looking forward to having a very good time and a
lot of laughs during this year's contest! Please take
note, plastic sheeting or a good washable cloak might
be advisable!

HL William Black Dragon (called "Ironwyrm")
Supervising "Feast Weapons" Marshal
PS: Almost forgot, (shameless plug coming) should
you wish to compete but not have time to make your
own baby crossbow, Iron Angel Forge still makes and
sells the prefered style for $20 (cheaper than I could
make it myself). You can check out their web site at:
http://www.ironangel.com/feastcrossbows.html .
Shipping runs about five dollars so you're looking at
about $25 total, they do not accept credit cards so if
interested you will have to send a check or money
order but there should still be time before this year's
contest. Good luck!
