[Ponte Alto] Lochmere Arrow ... at Needwood Games, October 21

[Saethryth Farsight]

The Needwood Forest Company of Archers, in partnership with the Crescent Guard, the Shire of Roxbury Mills, and the Barony of Bright Hills, remind all archers that this year's Competition for the Lochmere Arrow will be held immediately after The Needwood Games and the Archery A&S. 

The location is Westminster, MD.  


Martial Activities:  Target archery.  This is an all target archer 
event, with team and individual competitions.  Archers will participate as 
part of teams representing their local group, treated as free agents 
and drafted into teams so all may participate.  The Needwood Games from 
10:00 am until 2:30 will include two roving shoots and a team event.  An 
assortment of prizes will be awarded, both to teams and individuals at 
every level of skill.  Competition for the Lochmere Arrow, shot by 
pairs of archers representing local SCA groups will begin at 2:30.

Arts & Sciences Activities:  The Autocrat is sponsoring a period 
archery A&S competition, in the following categories:
1. Best period “kit” (attire, equipment, and persona).
2. Best period bow.
3. Best period arrows.
4. Best period archery-related gear (bracers, string keepers, quivers, 
etc).
5. Open Youth A&S (anyone under age 18, any category above).

The A&S competition will be judged by the populace.  Since we are all 
learning here, documentation is essential!  If you are entering the 
first category, please include photos of yourself so we can match the 
documentation to the archers.
