Atlantian archers,<BR>
I have been working with our fellow archers from the south to create an<BR>
archery only event along the lines of SAAD and Needwood (which should<BR>
probably be called NAAD. HEY! How about Needwood Atlantian Archery Day<BR>
= NAAD?). They have taken the bait and accepted the name I have<BR>
suggested for their event Trimaris Archery Day or TAD. (Thus if we have<BR>
a SAAD and a TAD we could also have a NAAD.) Lakeland Florida is<BR>
central Florida, west of Orlando, east of Tampa. If you can support our<BR>
fellow archers of the south they would greatly appreciate it and could<BR>
use the encouragement. Archery is growing in Trimaris with great<BR>
enthusiasm. They still have a long way to go though so any<BR>
encouragement from "the kingdom of archers" (that would be Atlantia)<BR>
would be greatly appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Cog<BR>

Their flier follows:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Greetings unto the great populace of Trimaris and beyond,<BR>
<BR>
This missive is to inform the populace that the Kingdom has a new event<BR>
scheduled for August 28th, 2010 in Lakeland Florida. This event is an<BR>
Archery Only event, called Trimaris Archery Day or TAD. <BR>
Other kingdoms to the north have had good results with their kingdom<BR>
archery days and that is what inspired me to start an event down here in<BR>
Trimaris. Please cross post this to any groups you feel would be<BR>
interested in attending this event.<BR>
<BR>
The event will be held at Tenoroc Shooting sports complex. This is a<BR>
commercial shooting range with Archery ranges, rifle, and pistol, and<BR>
shotgun 5-stand, and sporting clay ranges. The fee to shoot on the<BR>
archery range will be 15.00. This is in addition to the site fee of<BR>
7.00, which is used to pay for the portable restrooms, and the free<BR>
lunch food. Please pre-register or rsvp so we can be sure to have enough<BR>
food on hand. This is a dry site, and no alcohol will be allowed while<BR>
on the range. <BR>
<BR>
The Archery range is located in the woods, and its nice and shady,<BR>
however because it is wooded we must prepare take measures to keep the<BR>
insects off of us. Mosquitos, ticks, and spiders will be joining us on<BR>
the range I am sure, so please bring bug spray!, Please bring any<BR>
medical items you might need for an accidental sting or bite. there is<BR>
limited seating on the ranges so please bring something to sit upon.<BR>
Pavilions and Pop-up shelters will be allowed so if you wish to bring<BR>
your own shade and comfort items I would like to encourage you to bring<BR>
your medieval pavilions, and try to leave the mundane stuff at home.<BR>
<BR>
There will be Target Archery, Combat Archery Range(only no fighting),<BR>
Thrown Weapons, and Siege Engines. This is a kingdom war (missile only)<BR>
practice. <BR>
<BR>
The Target Archery range will have ranges up to 90 yards, a Royal Round,<BR>
Novelty shoots, and a 3D animal walk thru the woods hunt to game for<BR>
feast. Some loaner archery equipment will be provided, as will some<BR>
youth archery equipment for those wishing to learn to shoot. The 3D walk<BR>
thru range will be set up so that the archer MUST be stealthy and<BR>
accurate. Only one shot per target will be allowed, and if you are noisy<BR>
you may scare the game, and you will not be allowed to shoot that<BR>
target. Rangers will measure the noise you make and determine if you<BR>
have been stealthy enough to approach the target and shoot. This will be<BR>
an extremely difficult range to shoot, testing all your archery skills.<BR>
Remember you are hunting game for feast, and animals have keen senses so<BR>
we will be trying to mimic this as much as possible. The winner will be<BR>
the one who scores the highest number of animals shot.<BR>
<BR>
A combat archery range will be set up to test your CA skills. Please<BR>
bring your own CA equipment or borrow from your friends, NO loaner gear<BR>
will be provided. CA Archers shooting for scores/completion will need to<BR>
be in armor per the SCA/Kingdom standards to shoot in the competition.<BR>
Others wishing to use the range not shooting for score, may when<BR>
available, use the range for fun, without the armor requirements<BR>
<BR>
Siege Engines will have a little more than half a football field with<BR>
which to practice and compete in contests (providing we get enough<BR>
engines to compete).<BR>
<BR>
Thrown weapons targets will be set up for Knife, Axe, and spear throwing<BR>
and a royal round will also be run for score. There will be some thrown<BR>
weapon loaner equipment available for use.<BR>
<BR>
Prizes and or scrolls will be awarded for winners of each contest.<BR>
<BR>
Vendors will be allowed to merchant at the site, so long as there are no<BR>
firearm related items for sale. Please contact me if would like to vend<BR>
at this event. There is no fee to merchant, just pay the site fee.<BR>
Because lunch is free, there should be no need for food vendors, however<BR>
you are still allowed to vend if you wish.<BR>
<BR>
Camping is not allowed on site, so I have made arrangements with a local<BR>
camping/rv resort nearby for a group rate. The Lakeland RV resort<BR>
located nearby has tent sites for a group rate of $17.00 They have a<BR>
swimming pool, spa, stocked fishing lake, game room, snack bar, shower<BR>
and restroom facilities. Mention the Trimaris Archers to get the group<BR>
rate. The camp site has a community bon-fire pit, so if we get enough<BR>
folks we could have a bardic circle. This is a commercial site, and<BR>
drinking is allowed, in moderation of course. <BR>
