Practice for 2 PM Aug. 17th at the Westlake Athletic Center, 1515 Gross Road in Mesquite Texas (one mile east on the right from 635).

of the Elfsea Archery Practice thus permitting</font> <font size="2">us keep our local archery practices in sync. Soon there will be a archery practice within</font><font size="2"> either Steppes or Elfsea most Sundays that the archers of our sister baronies
can attend. </font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="2">The staff at the Westlake center were very accommodating and there is a very large oak tree next to the archery range so we found our pop-ups were not needed. Remember it is a bit of a hike in so the less you carry the better and little
wagons help if you do have a lot to carry in. Chairs or ground covers are a must as are cold drinks or snacks to keep you hydrated in the heat. There is ice water in the pro shop for all and it is air conditioned if you require a cold break. Dress warm
weather period costume, garb helps generate interest in who we are and what we are doing. Public ranges are great places to introduce folks to the SCA and archery has brought in more than it's share of newcomers over the years. So let's keep that tradition
going as best we can! </font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><font size="2">Well this will be an official practice so if we have some that want to do a royal round I am sure we can do that, otherwise I like most of us really could just use the practice! We did have some novice as well as "I haven't done this in
a long time" shooters at our last practice whom I know are ready to move beyond their "pointed end goes in the target" lesson and work on refining their skill. With a lot of practice and a wee bit of luck who knows one of them just might be our next novice
shoot winner at our next Steppes Warlord! Loaner archery gear shall be available on a first come first served basis.
</font></div>
<div><font size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="2">So we are looking forward to having another great archery practice this coming Sunday, hope we shall see you there!
