[Steppes] Steppes Archery Practice 8/12/07 - follow up

[JW Bishop]

Wow, when they said it would be hot out there today they 
  really weren't kidding!  Much thanks to our handful of archers 
  whom braved the oppressive heat to attend this Sunday's 
  archery practice.  
   
  We didn't send a great number of arrows down range today 
  however the SCA stories told under the shade trees were 
  priceless!  
   
  Stepping away from the dark side (crossbow) and picking 
  up period longbow was interesting and actually quite fun 
  for me.  It has been far too long since I've drawn a bow, it's 
  good to know I haven't lost my touch.  
   
  Well maybe the heat won't be so bad next week or at 
  least we can hope for some kind of a breeze then.  There 
  certainly was very little air moving today!  Let's pray our 
  fighters fare better, good luck all, and thanks again!
   
   
  Regards,
   
  Ironwyrm
