[Steppes] Archery Practice 05/02/04

[Susan Hill]

Ten there were of us today on the line, looking to spread fear and terror 
among the paper targets that stood before us. More new faces or rather new 
old faces joined us today and all seemed to have a good time.

HL Katya has proved that she will be a force to be reckoned with on the 
field of competition. Thelyn  and Lasguard showed us that Archery is like 
bicycle riding, even if you haven't done it for a while, it comes back to 
you quickly. Giles and Agnella had the opportunity to use and show off their 
new toys and did very well with them.

I used the new loaner arrows that Wil has worked on. They are beautiful and 
fly well. Thanks again, Wil.

We found it hard to leave today, having shot six...yes, 6 Royal Rounds 
today. They wouldn't stop! I finally ran out of score sheets. Katya and 
Corwin win the durabilty award for being the only ones to shoot all 6. I 
hope that both of you don't hurt too badly. Both had sore arms by the end of 
the day. ICE for both of you. Ice, Compression, and Elevation works on both 
string slap bruises and tendonitis.

There will be archery at Lindenwood's Border Wars this coming Saturday. This 
will be a fairly small event and competition so would be a good one for 
those who have never shot in competition before. It will also be a good 
warm-up for the Novice Competition at Warlord. I could use some helpers on 
the archery list at Border Wars. Another marshall would be nice as would 
someone to keep track of sign ups etc. Drop me an email if you are 
interested.

YIS,

Linet
