[Archers] Fwd: [SCA-Archery] E.GADS

[Jay Nardone]

Well this is not as easy as it sounds.. I have approached the powers to be
at Pennsic more than once about an Atlantia vs everyone else archery
competition more than one time. Most times it was met with hesitation and
little interest. I was also told that there used to be an event that was
held elsewhere like this and then it would simply end.. I think for many
archers who attend Pennsic and don't take part in the battle, there could be
much more done along the lines of archery. After all most of us are there
and time would be plentiful to support something like this. The trouble
since the archery range was moved, is lack of constructive use of space.
Bright Hills wanted to seriously sponsor a shoot this year and there was no
where to put it. We ended up bringing one target that Godai made and held
his shoot instead. They would also not allow any shoot to occur prior to 5pm
which doesn't leave a lot of time..Maybe if there is new blood running
things they will be more receptive to these type events, I would love to see
archery grow well beyond just war points at Pennsic but not sure the East
will be willing to oblige.

I concur wholeheartedly with Fens' idea. It would be *very cool* to take
part of the range at Pennsic for an Atlantian Challenge.  It's also fairly
easy to do. Just contact the person in charge of the martial activities for
Pennsic next year, or the person in charge of Pennsic 40 Archery and tell
them what you would like to do. figure out a time for the challenge and get
it scheduled.

 

As a Mongol, I value Archers and their contribution to *any* event and have
sponsored Archery for many years. :)  I also sponsored an all woman team at
the last Golden Rose Tournament because I really feel that women and the
martial disciplines in the Society are rather under valued. However, I also
like to have sense of humor about it. So figure out what you would need-
dream big- and I would love to help you make that happen. Pavilion for
shade? Your own water buffalo for the day? Pennants? Banners? Advertising
all over the kingdoms and Pennsic? Articles in the Independant? Tabards?
T-shirts for a fundraiser? Getting a special edition shuttle bus to ferry
folks up to the Archers field for the day? It can all happen.

 

Go for it. Make it fun and watch the number of archers show up.

 

cheers!

I don't know how difficult it would be to arrange.  We have so many female
archers that can kick tail.

 

Maybe instead, take part of the range at Pennsic for an Atlantian Challenge:
our  "girls" against the best team any kingdom can muster.

 

Besides, its time Atlantia reminded the East what both already know.   ;)

 

Cheers

 Humm.....we may have to make this happen.  LOL, do a little fund raising to
send a group of us to E.GADS.  Humm.....

 

Okay, the wheels are turning.
