Hi all, from Niall!
With a relatively clear schedule between now and Pennsic, I will be bringing back our official mid-week archery practices at our regular martial practice location in Highland Park, starting this Wednesday, June 17, from 5:30 pm until 8:00 (or until we’re done). I will continue to do these on Wednesday evenings through July 22 as the weather permits.
These mid-week practices tend to draw a much smaller group than our regular Sunday practices, meaning we can get many more ends in. Because they’re official, these practices are good for working on Royal Rounds (which will be submitted to the SCA Scores site) and drilling down on refining technique.
I will not plan on bringing loaner bows and arrows to the mid-week practices unless specifically requested. If you are planning to attend and require loaner gear, e-mail archerymarshal@debatablelands.aethelmearc.org no less than 24 hours beforehand, include your name and the type and poundage of bow you normally use. I will continue to bring all the loaner gear to the regular Sunday practices, however.
YIS, Niall.
