[Northkeep] Archery Practice

[Cecil Hudson]

Greetings Emmalina,

Yes, currently we are having practices on Sundays only. But I am not closed 
to the idea of moving the day if a majority among the archery community can 
be reached. If there in enough interest in moving practice to Saturday they 
it can be arranged. Any other day would be pointless at this time of the 
year considering how early it gets dark.

You wanted to know the way we do archery in the SCA? We generally have two 
different kinds of shoots during practice; the Royal Round and the 
Inter-kindgom Archery Competition (IKAC). In a Royal Round we shoot 6 arrows 
each from the 40 yard, 30 yard and 20 yard lines. Then we shoot an 
additional timed round at the 20 yard line. In the timed round you have 30 
seconds to shoot as many arrows into the target as you can.

In an IKAC round we shoot 4 rounds each from each distance; 2 rounds for 6 
arrows and 2 timed rounds. So basically, it's like a Royal Round but on 
steroids.

I think the reason we have it on Sundays right now is that it's most 
convenient for those of us who are participating right now. It falls on a 
day when no other practices are being held as a rule, with Northern Regional 
practices being the exception I think. The only thing that conflicts with 
our schedule at the moment is an Armoring class.

I hope we get to see you out there soon.

Do we only have archery practice on Sundays?  I would like to get involved
in archery (I already do target archery, but I don't know how it is
different in the SCA).  My aim has sorely suffered in college because I have
not been able to practice much, but I can't really get out there on a
Sunday.  Thanks.
Emmalina
