ARCHERY: There will be novelty shoots run all day, which you can do as many as you like–with only your highest score from each competition counting. Contests are currently planned for 20m, 30m, 40m. Top scores from each of the mini competitions will be eligible for the finals.
CROSSBOW and THROWN WEAPONS: There will be both Crossbow and Thrown Weapons competitions at this year’s tournament. These promise to be exciting and fun for all participants and spectators.
ARTS AND SCIENCES: There will definitely be Arts and Sciences displays. Our Baroness Alatiel has selected the theme of the art competition to be Archery! We have never had this as a theme before, so we encourage any and all to bring their archery-themed projects to see who will be her Excellency’s Arts Award Winner. If you don’t have an archery-themed project, please bring anything you wish to be a part of the populous choice. This is the time to show off what you have been working on no matter if you have been practicing for years, or making your very first item!
