[Archers] Trial Balloon: Period Archery Collegium

[Danielle Willgruber]

1. Yes, I would be very interested in coming
2. I do not think I'd be willing to teach a class
3. Flemish bow string-making, creating period armguards and arrows, history
classes, period targets, period competition types?
4. $15-$25 would be fair, as far as I am concerned.

YIS,
