Milord and Miladies of Stierbach and Ponte Alto;

Anyone interested in getting together and learning how to make those combat
arrows and or bolts, the opportunity once again is upon us.

When - this Sunday May 18.
What time - 9:30 to 12:00 for bolts (Nikolai has to be someplace else in the
afternoon) and 9:30 til... for arrows.
Where - at house Erensaurlezelasgarria http://stierbach.org/sites/eren.htm .
What you need
  all your shafts
  a roll of clear strapping tape, suggest one inch minimum
  a tube of lock tight liquid glue form Home Depot
  arrows - nocks and funnels and fletches (fletches optional)
  bolts - the black rubber tubing or the end pieces (don't remember what
they are called)
  the bolder blunts will be addressed last in the making of the arrows and
bolts as the testing of this is still ongoing.
  if you have one - a good glue gun and glue sticks
  naming labels - can be made at the time or before hand (keep relatively
small). You need your SCA name and Barony name, could also use kingdom name
if you plan on going to Pennsic.

Nikolai and I will get you started on making the arrows and bolts. We will
not guarantee that you will finish in one day, especially dependent on how
many show up. But you will leave with the knowledge to continue on. And for
those that need special items (fletching jigs) there will be a second (or
third) get together.

You do not need to be there at 9:30. Make it here when you can. But, for the
people making bolts, remember Nikolai will only be here in the morning.

Honor, Valor, Knowledge, and Service
