2025

• I designed the target archery competition at Defending the Gate, with help from Master Valgard av Mors and Lord Johannes von Hammersbach since I was not yet a warranted marshal. This was the first of the three target archery Marshal-in-Training (MIT) events for my target archery marshal part 2, since I had previously gone through the process before the pandemic. 

• I put on an egg hunt themed competition at practice for Easter. 

• I assisted Lord Johannes, Lady Annalena, and Master Ivarr with their target archery competition shoot at spring Coronation, the second of the three MIT events. 

• I completed the third and final MIT events by putting on a last second target archery shoot with Master Valgard av Mors at Victory on the Vine, after my intended Marshal-in-Charge of the day Master Naran was kept away from the event by a terrible storm. 

• I became Caer Mear's Baronial Archery Champion at Gem Joust.

• Cloud Baby, my beloved first bow, officially retired due to worsening skew. 

• I ordered my replacement bow from Black Widow, a PSRII Graybark recurve that does not yet have a name. Due in spring 2026! 

• I attended my first Royal Archer Tournament and made it to the top 16, coming in at #11 if you don't count those who bowed out, or at #13 if you do. I was defeated by Maestra Esperanza Susanna Flecha, who went on to the semi-finals! 

2024

• I was awarded the King's Missiliers in March 2024. 

• Shot a siege ballista for the first time at an event, not at practice.

• Continued to shoot at events and attend practice. 

• Cloud Baby, my beloved first bow, started showing signs of skew. 

• I designed some of the targets and helped Mors and Josie run the target archery at Holiday Faire. 

• I tried out for the champion's shoot at Pennsic for the first time.

2023

• Due to a family loss, I did not shoot a lot of archery this year, but I still went to practice and shot at events. 

2022

2020

• I attended Grimmsfield practice in January, right before the pandemic hit.

• I became a Bowman Elite in Royal Rounds in February. 

• I became Stierbach's Baronial Archery Champion. 

• I underwent double PRK eye surgery, partially so that I could shoot target archery without very thick glasses distorting my vision.

• I completed my final of the three events needed for first round of Marshal-in-Training for target archery. Unfortunately the paperwork was lost in a life-altering move and I did not become a warranted marshal. 

2019

• I completed my first three Royal Rounds and became a Marksman in Royal Rounds in August. 

• I became a Bowman in Royal Rounds in September and Mors presented me with a Bowman medallion in Court. 

• I completed the first set of training class and two of the three Marshal-in-Training (MIT) events, one of which was at War of the Wings. I designed one of the targets for War of the Wings, also.

• I helped Lady (now Master) Celestria design and paint targets for Stierbach Baronial Birthday.

• I attended Grimmsfield practice for the first time in May.

2018

• I became Valgard av Mors' student. 

• Mors gave me my first bow, a Ben Pearson recurve I named Cloud Baby for how lightweight it was.
