[Garth Groff]

Noble Friends of the Bow,

Below is our proposal for the September 2016 Isenfir Period Archery 
Collegium. Details are subject to change, of course. Reservations will 
open and a call for instructors will be made around June 1.

Your comments and input will be appreciated.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Naper, IPAC Autocrat

*ISENFIR PERIOD ARCHERY COLLEGIUM*

*24 September, 2016*

*Shire of Isenfir*

Join the Shire of Isenfir for a one-day session of classes and range 
time devoted to period archery using English-style longbows, Mongolian 
horse bows, Japanese yumi bows, Native American flatbows, crossbows, 
etc. Here is a chance to learn more about period archery in its many 
forms, and how we can “up our game” as re-enactment archers. If you’ve 
ever thought of switching to period archery, here is a chance to “test 
the water” and see if the change is right for you, or just come for a 
great day shooting with friends.

*MARTIAL ACTIVITIES: *Just target archery! Shooting with period-style 
equipment at period-type targets. Range time will include both 
instructional classes, and general shooting. Archers with modern 
SCA-compliant hand bows are also welcome. Some period loaner bows will 
be available for testing. Please bring your own arrows and leathers.

*CLASSES:* Proposed classes include building period-style arrows for SCA 
sport-weight bows, building period targets, thumb ring shooting, yumi 
bow shooting, and other classes TBA. The emphasis will be on 
period-style shooting or making period gear and its use, rather than 
pure history. A total of six classes will be offered. A call for 
instructors and class proposals will be made in the early summer of 2016.

*COSTS:* This is the Shire of Isenfir’s gift to the kingdom--no site 
fee, however Blue Cards or waivers at troll will be required. Advance 
reservations for the lunch and feast will be required so our chief cook 
will know how much food to buy.

*SITE:* Oakhaven Farm, 1850 Browns Gap Turnpike, Charlottesville, VA 
22901 (434) 823-2336. Site restrictions: This is a dry site from sunrise 
Saturday until the feast (remember, we’re shooting). Oakhaven is a 
working farm, so no pets please. Our hosts’ home is off-limits, except 
for the toilets and showers in the basement and the barn.

*FEAST INFORMATION:* Food will be provided by the Shire of Isenfir as a 
fund-raiser: Day-board lunch, $5; evening feast, $9. Saturday and Sunday 
breakfasts will be priced by the item. Vegetarian alternatives are 
planned. Please contact Lady Clare Garland for any other special dietary 
needs. You are also welcome to bring your own food or go off site 
(Crozet is about four miles away).

*CAMPING:* Limited tent camping will be available at no charge. Toilets 
and showers will be available (please bring your own towels). A fire pit 
will be provided. Camping space MUST be requested in advance from Lady 
Clare Garland.
