Site has always opened on Fri in the past.  Maybe there are no scheduled 
activities, so they aren't counting Friday.

>Also on Saturday will be the Period Equipment only shoot. This will be

>so long as it does not plasticize the bow. Documentation of equipment is 
>desired but not required. For more information on this shoot, check with HL 
>Jaque the Spink.

>Sunday will have the Children's Shoot starting at 8 sharp. This shoot must 
>be completed before morning court so we need to get this going in a timely 
>manner. Last year we had kids dragging in to shoot as we were getting ready 
>to head to court. Sorry folks, not this year. No new entrants will be 
>accepted after we start shooting.

>Steppes Archer starts 1 hour after court concludes. Sign ups will take

>and requires the winner to fullfill the requirements of the position of 
>Steppes Archer including standing up in Baronial Courts at Steppes events. 
>It may also require other duties at the discretion of Their Excellencies. 
>This is not an event for children, nor for novice archers. Last year I had

>his first competition....no! That's what the Bowman's Tournament is for.
>
>Crossbowmen will be required to shoot while standing for all events, and a 
>parent or guardian must be on the range when minors shoot.

>For the first time, we will be awarding the Silver Arrow of the Steppes.
