It has been pointed out to me that in my haste to post I have put
out some poorly worded and what might be easily misconstrued
information on the Squires Duck Shoot. This contest is not a
combat activity, nor combat archery class of any kind, but only
a target shoot using combat archery & siege equipment. I do
apologize for any confusion there!

Greetings all,
Steppes Warlord is just but a short week away and we have a great list
of missile actives scheduled for this year's event!
A Childrens Archery Tournament and Novice Archers Tournament, our
"William Tell" Tournament, a combat archery & siege "Squire Duck
Shoot", six hour Thrown Weapons Competition, and both a Baronial &
Kingdom level Archery Champions' Tournaments!
That's right we'll have arrows, bolts, and missiles flying down range from
early morning until early evening on both Saturday and
Sunday. So bring
your bows, crossbows, bolt
& arrows, knives, axes,
spears, pop-ups,
chairs, snacks, mugs and don't forget that all important sunscreen!
Come join us for two full days of plying your marksmanship & skills with
your fellow Ansteorrans to see who shall win the titles of "Steppes Archer",
"Royal Huntsman" or just see whom can bean the most squires at the
"Squire Duck Shoot"! Plenty of fun to be had by all, save maybe those
squires, heh, heh, heh!?!

* The Squire Duck Shoot is an introduction to combat archery & siege
weapons allowing the populace to try their skill with combat crossbow
& ballistia at a "pop-a-squire" game in a carnival style shooting gallery
format. Loaner equipment shall be made available. A huge basket of
largess & prizes have been collected to be awarded to the most
skillful
(or luckiest) shots among our participants!
Please note all the above are proposed times, and as things do often
happen in
the SCA might have to be adjusted at the last minute.
A limited amount of archery equipment will be made available for the
Childrens, Novice & William Tell Tournaments. However not made
available for either Steppes Archer nor Royal Huntsman Tournament.
Bows & crossbows shall allowed to compete equally without favoring
one over the other (we would prefer the best marksman possible for our
Steppes Archery Champion).
All tournaments shall be brought to conclusion with a clear winner of
each tournament.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Regards,
HL William Black Dragon called "Ironwyrm"
Archery Marshal in Charge of Steppes Warlord
