Return to Potted Arms and Fancy Faire: 15th Anniversary

Getting Started with Target Archery in the SCA presented by Elsebeth von Annedors

Note – No actual archery will happen in this class due to the facility not able to accommodate it

Are you looking for a new activity within the SCA? Or have you always wanted to try archery but didn’t know where to start? 

This class will fill you in on the basics to get started. From safety on the range, through equipment choices, practice and competitive events in our area, as well as some info on archery in the mundane world, just in case, like me, you discover you want more!
