<DIV><SPAN class=562293114-28042013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yesterday was a
GREAT day for me at SAAD VII. It was supposed to be rainy and nasty but
the rain held off until after all the shooting was done. When it
finally did rain it only rained lightly for about 30 minutes after all the
shooting was finished then stopped. The best part for me was seeing
all my fellows of the bow from up North. I shot the course with "the man
with no vowels" (Ghijskijn), Grimm, one gentle who was also merchanting (didn't
get his name) and the lovely Kateryna atte Hagenes of Trimaris. She came
to SAAD to get some ideas as she will be the MIC for the next TAD (Trimrian
Archer Day). She kept pace with the rest of us with her shooting!
Lorelei and crew set an interesting, challenging course and the targets held up
well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=562293114-28042013><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The only seriously
frightful event of the day was Moog! When he emerged from his tent there
was a collective "God save us" throughout the camp! However he won best
primative of the atlatlist. However we all figure Moog's motto is "No sun
shall ever touch this body!". You see Moog's arm pits are mostly likely
darker than the rest of him. (If you need clarification about any of this
contact Fen, this list. :-) ) We tried something new at the
atlatl battle. Instead of hay bales, which have worked fine in the past
but cost about $5 - $6 per, we used large boxes available at Home Depot at $1.50
each. They worked just fine and were much easier for everyone to
move. We had 7 per side, 6 warriors and 1 shaman. The total count in
the spectator gallery was 42! Kateryna was one of the spectators and I
commented to her "You don't have THIS in Trimaris." To which she replied
"I think we need to import this!".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

day of shooting, great companionship, good folks, and better weather than
forecast.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
