On Target
(2017-05-20 - Site opens at 10 AM & Closes at 10 PM)
Lochmere

Their Excellencies of Lochmere, Baroness Avice Claremond and Baron Gabrell Fairecloughe, invite archers to join Their Barony at a scenic waterfront site in Annapolis, Maryland for a day of archery, an atlatl battle, good food and companionship. Shooting will commence around 10 am on Saturday, May 20, 2017. As always, the main event will be the challenging walk-through shoot. The path climbs through some rolling hillside but is not particularly steep. It can still be somewhat difficult to get to some of the targets\' locations so be prepared to climb, stretch, and twist to try and hit your mark. The challenges only make hitting the target that much sweeter! This year we will be making an extra effort to remove poison ivy around the archery targets and along the route shooters will hike. There are rumors of a mastodon lurking in the vicinity as well as a very strange sheep.

There will be a practice range set up for both target archery and atlatl. The Barony has lots of loaner gear for archery and atlatls available as well.

If you do not shoot, the Barony encourages you to come for the food, the socializing with old and new friends and the time to work on small A&S projects. Musicians and singers are welcome as well. If you are a newcomer to the SCA, this is a nice, low key, no pressure event to learn about archery and some of the many A&S activities practiced in the Society.

Martial Activities: ARCHERY, including ATLATL. Archery/atlatl targets are set up in the surrounding woods and along the water for an interesting and challenging shoot. We are also looking forward to the atlatl battle! The practice range is available any time there is a marshal present.

Arts & Sciences Activities: No organized activities are planned, however, members of the Barony are encouraged to bring small A&S projects to work on and share with other attendees. Be aware that there is limited space for displays. Covered space is even more limited. This is a small site, however, if individuals wish to conduct impromptu A&S classes within this limitation contact the Event Steward and we\'ll see what we can do.
