[Archers] St. Sebastian's II Shoot

[Jay Nardone]

WE continue to be successful because of people like COG and all of our
archers in Atlantia. I don't think I would even try these types of things
without the kind of folks that make up our Kingdom! It's my pleasure to try
this again and see if we can continue to make this grow bigger than last
year. GOG, I agree about the score cards, I was a bit worried about while
making them and agree that it is more important to be able to read them than
they just look fancy. I am employing the help of Lord Seamus to help with
the score cards since he is a master at it and I am obviously not. Thank you
for the offer, at this point I think we will need all the target offer we
can get as I know some folks might not be making it to Pennsic this year. So
as COG said we still have time, but I will be tracking our progress closely
so we don't get to the last minute and have to scramble around.

 

Thank you all again!

After 18 years playing this game one thing continues to amaze me.  It's that
planning for the two biggest events for most of us in the East, Gulf Wars
and Pennsic, doesn't seem to begin or get spread about until at most one
month before the event, sometimes even later than that.  Thus I would like
to say here and now that in my opinion one of the reasons the Atlantian
archer community showed the known world how to do an exciting novelty shoot
for the populace was because of the prior planning as Janyn's post here
indicates.  I ask myself, is it even possible to be more proud of the
Atlantian archer community and every single individual who worked so hard
last year and will this year to make this a "must attend" event at Pennsic?

 

One question and comment -

Question - is there a theme for this year's shoot?

Comment - Last year the score cards were done in a fancy font.  Now don't
get me wrong, I do some calligraphy, but I was thinking perhaps the front
page could be a fancy font but the rest of the pages in a more "modern
traditional" font for ease of reading.  Just a suggestion.

 

Cog

PS:  Our van died on the way back from Pennsic last year, 10 miles from our
house so it could have been MUCH worse.  It has been replaced with a full
sized truck.  All this means I could bring a target or two if need be.  I'll
watch the list for the need.

Okay sending in two parts because the list is complaining about size.

 

 

 

Happy New Year to all of our Atlantia Archers! Now that holidays are over I
wanted to send out a status update on the St. Sebastian's shoot for this
next Pennsic. We have approval and were asked to run another shoot this next
PEnnsic (41). I am confirming the date and times with authorities now. I am
looking to extend our shoot from the 3pm stop to 5pm stop to allow for as
many archers as we can handle in those additional hours. My goal is to
double the attendance from last year and make this an even bigger event than
it was last year. I can tell you we will have fabulous prizes for the
winners and even thank you gifts for all of the Marshal's that help during
the shoot. I have asked Countess Rowan to spread our word across the forums
in all Kingdoms we can and I know Christophe has offered to work the
Independent once again with our information. Below is the current listing of
folks that have responded about bringing a target and or helping. I
understand maybe not all of you will be able to make Pennsic this year so
please just let me know if you are going or not as we get closer to the
date. Also as you can see we are a bit short on folks bringing targets. We
had 13 stations last year and I would like to try to shoot that number once
again this year. I was hoping we could bring some of our more "unique
novelty" targets to show the caliber of our shoots but I understand that it
can be difficult to transport them along with all of our camping gear. 

 

If there are any other Marshal's or targets that have not been offered as of
yet, please let myself and Baroness Martelle know. I will be the MIC for the
event again next year and Baroness Martelle has offered to "herd us cats"
and put together a schedule for the marshal's working the event so that no
one has to spend all day working. Once again I want everyone except me to
have  a chance to shoot and enjoy the event during the day. So we are
planning on having setup again the night before and the event running from
9am to 5pm the day of the event.

 

Thanks so much again for all of the support! 

 

In Service, Janyn
