A few weeks ago I posted about thoughts on a theme for this year’s shoot. I really didn’t want to have a “theme” per se as I don’t think we need one. But I heard from more than one person that a theme might be nice. So trying to be diplomatic I collected the suggestions and discussed with the group. Hearing no objections at that time I decided that we stay with this theme. Now for my words… In all the time I have been in the SCA I can’t ever remember walking away from any shoot saying “Wow I wish that was done in period.” I realize there have been some themes that are more out there than others, most of us in Atlantia have probably just about seen it all. But to me that is the fun of it and “different” doesn’t mean bad in my book. Add the East kingdom shoots that we go too into the mix and that puts the icing on the cake. Now with that said I don’t believe for one minute that the theme of this year’s shoot will make or break this shoot. Frankly we didn’t have a theme last year and look how successful it was, I feel strongly that we could follow through this year with none and make it as big as I am hoping it to be. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>So, I realize it is still early in planning for this year but I am extremely busy with the details to pull this off. I don’t have any time to wrestle with themes. If we ask 20 people I guarantee we will get 20+ themes. If the community feels strongly that a better suited theme is required I want to hear it within the next few weeks. I really don’t want to be the one to coordinate this issue and would ask if Baroness Martelle would be willing to work this one since she is helping me with coordination anyway. One of the reasons I thought the Alice theme was a winner was because I know you had a multitude of targets already that could be used. I want to caution that no matter what we select for a theme, the targets that take cartoon form with big lines as the outline are the preferred targets to use. I have been too many shoots that had wonderful artwork that most of the archers could not see properly or discern where their arrows where hitting in relation to the target. We will not have that many close in targets on the Pennsic range so targets need to be easy to see at distance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Thanks….

I did a 15-station shoot on Alice in Wonderland two years ago for the Barony of Storvik's Birthday and Investiture. At the time I thought it would be a fun theme that at least had chess sets and a queen in it, so what the hell. It was a blast to think up all the targets, and we had a great day on the range, but I took a ton of flack for the theme and the fact that it is not medieval in the least. I have learned a lot since then and have realized that there are so many wonderful shoot ideas that ARE medieval - - at least in their imagery - - that there's no real reason to pull from popular culture or out-of-period places. I would never choose to do another shoot on a modern theme, myself. Two years ago Jonathas (and his wife!) put on a kingdom archery shoot based on Gaston Phebes Book of the Hunt which was just spectacular, just gorgeous. I know the East did a Star Trek Champions shoot year before last, but I think Atlantia can make this shoot a great one while respecting the fact that we are all actors in a drama that is supposed to take place in 600 - 1600, Europe. Last year before St. Sebastian's I put about a dozen ideas out on the list and Lorelei liked medieval monsters, which I think ended up being a nice shoot theme from which everyone could come up with their own angle/artwork. I just want to encourage you all to take one little step back and consider picking a theme that is in fact related to the era we are supposedly reenacting.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'>Just my two cents.
