Report on the Archery Range As Of 7-9-24
WW archers!! Here is your report on the state of the range:
It was a mess this morning with an inch and a half of mud. If it dries overnight, the plan is to shoot down the long clay aisle in the arena, with everything as currently scheduled.
If tomorrow, it's still mucky and messy and we cannot shift the hay bales safely, archery will be turned around to shoot into the oil pit (as some may remember from several years ago). This will limit shooting distances, but will allow us to at least shoot most of what is scheduled.
Thank you, and see you on the range (whichever way it looks)! --Ginevra

Descriptions
Knutr’s Glowy Screamy Totally LIT Shoot
Nighttime Archery Shoot - whatever happens, this event will be LIT! The final flight will be firing glow-in-the-dark whistling arrows.
Hit the Deck
Gamblers? Pirates? We aren’t sure, either, so come find out!
SSAC: Will be the current Seasonal Society Archery Competition
(That one hasn’t yet been voted on and decided, so no further description yet)
Fish & Flakes Team Shoot
Grab three other archers to form a team for an archery version of “the floor is lava”! Shoot snowflakes in a path to advance your fish the furthest on their path. Can you make it across the bales and back?
Ragar Ravensfriend Memorial Archer’s Duel
Archers compete by shooting their opponent’s target. Last archer standing is the winner.
Save the Dragon’s Hoard
Pixies have stolen the Dragon’s shinies from their nest! Help get them back, but don’t hit the dragon eggs.
Archer’s Parade/Dressed to Kill
Time to show off that we are as snazzily dressed as the other martial arts! Wear your best garb, then muster by the Baronial Tents at 9am for the Parade, and come shoot for a prize sponsored by Baron Bazyli Bolesław z Krakowa.
Youth Animal Hunt
Time for the Youth of Northshield to bring home game in the form of a new friend - when you shoot a stuffy, you get to take it home with you. There will likely be an opportunity for chronological adults to shoot, as well. Animal surgery supplies will be provided in case of catastrophic injuries (to the stuffies only, please!).
Khasaa
Mongolian distance shoot at 75 yards, using khasaa-inspired targets approximately 12”x60”. Scores are determined by the portion of the target struck. Skipping the arrow into the target counts, so blunts may be used for this shoot (some will be provided for those wishing to try). Please limit blunt size to no more than 1.25” if bringing your own.
Rooty Tooty New to Shooty Tournament
Intended for first-time archers, or those who have never competed in a tournament before. Experienced archers will be on hand for coaching/advice
