Eirik, This event looks like a lot of fun.  You can count me in for it!  This is only about an hour and a half from my house.

Cog,

The shoots at SAAD were awesome! Klaus and Sigrid and I, and our
neighbors and their son (this was their first event) all had a great
time. Thanks to all of you who helped out, and especially those who
provided the loaner arrows my neighbors used.

The Carolina Traditional Archers group I sometimes shoot with has
posted the information on their web site at
http://www.thecta.org/index.html about the North Carolina Traditional
Archery Championship being held in Hickory, NC over Memorial Day
weekend. I would love to see more of our great SCA archers there.
Also, there are a few vendors there who I will try to get cards from,
so that we can invite them to come sell arrows and stuff at SAAD next
time.

in service,

Ld. Eirik Gralokkr

> Woods Walk Rules for SAAD5
>
> Welcome to the Woods of Elkin.  You are the provider for your family.
> You don't come home with game, your family goes hungry.  The shoots in
> these woods are all hunt based.  You will be shooting through bushes,
> over bushes (sorry if you are short!), around trees and down long alley
> ways in the woods.  Each station has a stake.  Some part of your body
> MUST be in contact with that stake while shooting.  That's the
> challenge.
>
> .       Each station uses three (3 ) shafts.
> .       Some part of your body must be in contact with the stake marking
> the shooting position of the shot.  This stake will have a number on it
> indicating the station number for scoring.
> .       Please do not take too long looking for shafts that missed the
> target.  We will sweep the woods at the end of the day for lost shafts.
> .       Please follow the orange tape marking the path through the
> woods.
> .       Be cognizant of archers on other stations searching for shafts
> while shooting.  Efforts have been taken to make sure shooting ranges do
> not overlap but....no points for hitting other archers....regardless of
> how you feel about them!
> .       Scoring for all targets is 3 points kill zone (marked), 1 point
> color unless otherwise specified, i.e. the leprechaun garden fence
> station.
> .       You may not trim branches or bushes from the shooting stations.
> The stations were set with trees, branches and bushes in your shooting
> path to make it "interesting".
> .       Be aware that these woods do have poison ivy in them!

> This one was supposed to be posted in the woods on the Leprechaun Garden
> Fence station
>
> Little People's Garden Fence
>
> The Scots have called in the "little people" of the forest, leprechauns.
> Yeah, we know, leprechauns are Irish but it's the Scots.  What do they
> know?!?  On this station you get 3 shafts.  Your objective is to hit the
> leprechauns.  One shaft per leprechaun only for score!  Each hit scores
> 3 points.  You must hit color to score.  The leprechaun on the four leaf
