I am in Tulsa on Mondays and Wednesdays for sure. Most weekends are full for
me between kid activities, events and Rundel meetings. (My husband is their
Knight Marshal)

Not even close, lol

> 3. Are you a beginner/want instruction?

Totally. I think I've picked up a bow before......like in Girl Scouts 20
some odd years ago.

> 4. Are you most interested in Target/Combat archery?

Yes, but what else is available. I'm VERY new to the archery thing, and
relativly new to the SCA

NO.

Yes

My husband can make leather, and we are planning on making me Heavy Combat
armor but would need to know what the requirements are

Well, until I know the difference, I really couldn't tell you.

> 9. Would you be interested in classes on making bows/arrows? This will
take  a little time to setup if you are interested in making a long bow as I
have  yet to even start my training from Ld. Arthere MacMora who has offered
for  me to learn his trade (WHOOOOHOOO)

Yes.

> 10. What are your expectations from the practices/classes, in other words
what to YOU want to achieve i.e. return from the range with the same # of
Arrows as when you arrived or I want to be The Kings Archer or I just wanna
kill heavies at Gulf etc. (no offense big guys...especially you really BIG
guys)

I would like to become a proficient archer. Kings Archer would be cool, I
guess, but not happening anytime in the near future.

> In short after my 2 years as archery marshal are up what do you want to
say  you accomplished and achieved? It is my duty to make that happen to the
best of my abilities.

Is there going to be any children's archery at all? A number of archers have
seen my older girl doing target archery at Steppes, and at Margrave and are
of the opinion she is a natural (just NOT under pressure, poor girl)
