[Archers] horseback archery demo

I meant to respond to this earlier but as usual, I'm behind on a dozen things.  Geoffrey, it totally sucks that something you love to do is going to be difficult or impossible now.  You know....Chariot riding is period, isn't it?  :-)  I hope your interest in archery keeps you happy.  I know we'll certainly keep you busy!

As the rules are written now, that is correct.  One of the reasons I wanted to become a target archery marshal was so we (the equestrian marshals) did not need to round up a target marshal for us to do mounted archery.  The other reason is so I can run an official practice in the northern part of our barony.  
 
I did mounted archery as a demo some years ago, but have not yet authorized for it.  It is a real challenge.  You have to time your release based on the movement of the horse.  I was happy when I just hit a target.  I didn't care what ring I hit.  Keeping an arrow nocked was difficult too.
 
I have not ridden since I tore up my shoulder and hip in a riding mishap last year.  After Pennsic I visited my surgeon again and he now tells me my hip is shot and I need a hip replacement.  Hip replacements and riding do not go well together.  Still, I would love to get my authorization for mounted archery.  It is almost as much fun as jousting and nearly as much of a challenge.

Greetings to the list!   


I want to pass along the information that our own archer/marshal Archer Bear Horseman of Rockbridge will be participating in the archery from horseback demo at Atlantian 30 year. Good luck, Bear! 



For those of you who are wondering, Horseback Archery is completely within the province of the Equestrian domain in Atlantia. It is my understanding that to 
do this activity, the marshals need to be warranted in both target archery and equestrian. 


Cheers!
