Porte de l'Eau: Target Archery |
Laurencia hosts the Canton's target archery practices. We use her horse pasture, so be prepared for mud (and other assorted ground cover found in a horse pasture) especially if it's been raining heavily. 2004 Summer practices may continue for a few more weeks. Stay tuned for more info! Please contact Tayla for directions. Royal RoundsWe typically begin with a practice end from the 20, and 30 yard line, and then begin shooting Royal Rounds. A Royal Round consists of one End of 6 arrows from the 40, 30, and 20 yard line, followed by a timed end with as many arrows as you can shoot from the 20 yard line in 30 seconds. It can take about 20 minutes to shoot a Royal Round, depending on how many people are shooting, how many targets we have setup, and whether or not people need to spend extra time hunting for lost arrows. EquipmentIf you are new to Archery in the SCA, we only use traditional style equipment. This means no compound bows, or fancy sites, and stabilizers. Your basic Traditional Archery equipment should work just fine. We only use wood arrows, none of the fiberglass or aluminum stuff for us. Field point tips are common, hunting tips aren't used, since they are both much more dangerous, and will ruin the targets much faster.
