General Activities
Martial Activities:
Archers of Atlantia, we invite you to test your skills at various fun and challenging targets. The day will include a clout, moving targets, static targets, and timed and untimed shooting stations with a Canterbury Tales theme, but it will also include a dragon and woods walk. Friday night will have an after dark shoot as well. This event will be an excellent opportunity to hone your skills before the Royal Archery Tournament on June 7th!
Thrown Weapons competition based on the Canterbury Tales. There will be 2 ranges available, one for training and the other for tourney. MiT's welcome.
Armored scenarios as follows:
Three stage progressive capture the flag battle. First stage is a broken field. Second stage is the bridges with the third stage being the tower. Attackers start at the first Rez point and fight until they capture a flag on the broken fields. As soon as attackers capture the flag, it becomes their new Rez point and the defenders fall back. Attackers fight until they get across a bridge and capture another flag. At that point, defenders fight from the tower and are no longer unlimited Rez. Attackers stay unlimited Rez for the entire battle. Victory condition is whomever completes the entire scenario in the shortest time. Combat, archery and siege will be on both attack and defense.
A&S:
A&S activities will include a leather work competition and a target competition.
The leatherwork competition will be open to any medieval leatherwork objects, such as archery equipment, mugs, bottles, accessories etc. This will be a standard judged competition so documentation is recommended as a courtesy to the judges.
Archery target competition theme is The Nun's Priest's Tale for The Canterbury Tales, a story of a rooster, his wife and a sly fox that tricks him. The competition is to pick one of these characters and to make a target for our archers to shoot! The archers will pick their favorites and the target with the most arrows will be the winner!
The size for the targets are 1'x1' minimum and 5'x 2.5' maximum, and no wood or metal. The targets need to be suitable for standard SCA arrows. No backing required.
