[Archers] A Great Day for Archery

[John Atkins]

How about CGGAAD, Crescent Guard Games Atlantian Archery Day?  Then we
could all run about going GGGGGGAAAAD! after every shot we missed and be
clearing our throats at the same time!
 
I like the BAAD.  Problem is, all the Vikings might mistake BAAD for
DAAAAAAAADDDY from all the sheep!
 
Heather, you're just not right in the head!

There goes the Crescent Guard Games, I guess...

Atlantian archers,


I have been working with our fellow archers from the south to create an


archery only event along the lines of SAAD and Needwood (which should


probably be called NAAD.  HEY!  How about Needwood Atlantian Archery Day


= NAAD?).  They have taken the bait and accepted the name I have


suggested for their event Trimaris Archery Day or TAD.  (Thus if we have


a SAAD and a TAD we could also have a NAAD.)  Lakeland Florida is


central Florida, west of Orlando, east of Tampa.  If you can support our


fellow archers of the south they would greatly appreciate it and could


use the encouragement.  Archery is growing in Trimaris with great


enthusiasm.  They still have a long way to go though so any


encouragement from "the kingdom of archers" (that would be Atlantia)


would be greatly appreciated.

Their flier follows:








Greetings unto the great populace of Trimaris and beyond,


 


This missive is to inform the populace that the Kingdom has a new event


scheduled for August 28th, 2010 in Lakeland Florida. This event is an


Archery Only event, called Trimaris Archery Day or TAD. 


Other kingdoms to the north have had good results with their kingdom


archery days and that is what inspired me to start an event down here in


Trimaris. Please cross post this to any groups you feel would be


interested in attending this event.


 


The event will be held at Tenoroc Shooting sports complex. This is a


commercial shooting range with Archery ranges, rifle, and pistol, and


shotgun 5-stand, and sporting clay ranges. The fee to shoot on the


archery range will be 15.00. This is in addition to the site fee of


7.00, which is used to pay for the portable restrooms, and the free


lunch food. Please pre-register or rsvp so we can be sure to have enough


food on hand. This is a dry site, and no alcohol will be allowed while


on the range. 


 


The Archery range is located in the woods, and its nice and shady,


however because it is wooded we must prepare take measures to keep the


insects off of us. Mosquitos, ticks, and spiders will be joining us on


the range I am sure, so please bring bug spray!, Please bring any


medical items you might need for an accidental sting or bite. there is


limited seating on the ranges so please bring something to sit upon.


Pavilions and Pop-up shelters will be allowed so if you wish to bring


your own shade and comfort items I would like to encourage you to bring


your medieval pavilions, and try to leave the mundane stuff at home.


 


There will be Target Archery, Combat Archery Range(only no fighting),


Thrown Weapons, and Siege Engines. This is a kingdom war (missile only)


practice. 


 


The Target Archery range will have ranges up to 90 yards, a Royal Round,


Novelty shoots, and a 3D animal walk thru the woods hunt to game for


feast. Some loaner archery equipment will be provided, as will some


youth archery equipment for those wishing to learn to shoot. The 3D walk


thru range will be set up so that the archer MUST be stealthy and


accurate. Only one shot per target will be allowed, and if you are noisy


you may scare the game, and you will not be allowed to shoot that


target. Rangers will measure the noise you make and determine if you


have been stealthy enough to approach the target and shoot. This will be


an extremely difficult range to shoot, testing all your archery skills.


Remember you are hunting game for feast, and animals have keen senses so


we will be trying to mimic this as much as possible. The winner will be


the one who scores the highest number of animals shot.


 


A combat archery range will be set up to test your CA skills. Please


bring your own CA equipment or borrow from your friends, NO loaner gear


will be provided. CA Archers shooting for scores/completion will need to


be in armor per the SCA/Kingdom standards to shoot in the competition.


Others wishing to use the range not shooting for score, may when


available, use the range for fun, without the armor requirements


 


Siege Engines will have a little more than half a football field with


which to practice and compete in contests (providing we get enough


engines to compete).


 


Thrown weapons targets will be set up for Knife, Axe, and spear throwing


and a royal round will also be run for score. There will be some thrown


weapon loaner equipment available for use.


 


Prizes and or scrolls will be awarded for winners of each contest.


 


Vendors will be allowed to merchant at the site, so long as there are no


firearm related items for sale. Please contact me if would like to vend


at this event. There is no fee to merchant, just pay the site fee.


Because lunch is free, there should be no need for food vendors, however


you are still allowed to vend if you wish.


 


Camping is not allowed on site, so I have made arrangements with a local


camping/rv resort nearby for a group rate. The Lakeland RV resort


located nearby has tent sites for a group rate of $17.00 They have a


swimming pool, spa, stocked fishing lake, game room, snack bar, shower


and restroom facilities. Mention the Trimaris Archers to get the group


rate. The camp site has a community bon-fire pit, so if we get enough


folks we could have a bardic circle. This is a commercial site, and


drinking is allowed, in moderation of course.
