I have learned that the BoD is considering acting on a request I sent then last July. This request was to set up the sca electronic newsletter site to allow society wide newsletters for the various SCA activities such as martial, arts and sciences and service, etc. Of particular interest to us is an archery newsletter. This is in addition to the supplemental newsletters that kingdoms can put out. Changes will have to be made to the web site to allow this to be done.

So, since this is likely to happen, we should consider what the archery community can do make this work. We will need a group to manage and edit the newsletter and to encourage submissions to it. It can have information on archery events,current scores for society wide competitions, short useful bits of information and reviews of suppliers and books as well as articles, photos and archery art. And anything else that would be appropriate. It would contain both target archery and combat archery information. The information in such a newsletter would be useful to many archers and could also demonstrate a sense of archery community.

I hope we have some people in this group that are interested in working on such a project. I can provide some articles for it. However, I have no background in publishing newsletters.

Please crosspost this to any local archery groups and give them subscription information for this group.

everyone wishing to help would probably be well served to read both the sca , and their kingdoms chroniclers policies , as the same rules will probably apply.

unfortunately I just started school , since I was diagnosed with arthritis in the spine , I needed to find a job using my brain instead of my back and get the proper training to do that job, so I'm short on excess time right now : (

but it sounds like a great idea, and hopefully I will be able to add to the articles , pictures etc.

Sir Jon and SCA� Archers!

I feel this is a very worthy endeavor, therefore I will throw in my name to help in whatever manner
I can for the promotion of Archery. May I suggest starting an informal Archery newsletter committee
to steer the first edition layout, logos, guidelines, etc? If there is someone who now publishes a local
newsletter to guide us, I would be happy to do the leg work.

I have been building arrows from bare shafts, spine testing, matching, and tuning which could be a
series of articles, also I have been building "board bows" from buying the boards to the tillering process,
and this also could be a series of articles.

If this should come to pass and a regular newsletter is published, say monthly, It would behoove us to also announce new editions and provide links as they become available on the non-archery discussion groups and lists. In this way we'll be doing more than preaching to the choir. Also, might I suggest a regular column covering technical oddities relating to archery.

My thanks to all of you that have already volunteered your help. I am keeping your posts in a separate file for future reference. As has been pointed out, we will need someone with newsletter experience, preferably electronic, to head this up. If you have such experience, let us know. Or if you know of someone that does and who might be interested, please contact them. They do not have to be an archer to run the newsletter, just interested in providing a service to the archery community and running a society wide newsletter. We will also be needing volunteers from each kingdom to provide local archery information to the newsletter as well as encouraging the writing of articles. Please re-post the original announcement to your all local newsgroups, not just archery groups. My apologies for the lack of paragraphs, my email writer is not allowing me to do paragraphs at this time. Jon

Sir Jon and fellow archers,

This is an exciting and great idea! As a fairly newer member of the SCA archery community (a few years), I think whether it is an online periodical or a linked site off of the SCA site it is a wonderful way to share information among archers across the known world.

Please include me in the list of volunteers to help in any way I can - sourcing and gathering materials from others to submit, proofreading, layout assistance, helping to organize and post material, or other.

Sir Jon,
I would love to be a part of this, but I don't think I have much knowledge or skills to contribute. I have only been shooting Archery for a little over a year, so I have a limited amount of experience in the missile arts to write any stories/articles that would be of any value. The only applicable experience I have is some proofreading, though that, sadly, is limited, too. I may not be able to contribute, but I wholeheartedly support this project, and if there is anything I can do, please contact me off-list.

Other than historical reference pieces will we also see pieces about shooting techniques and tools, shoot designs used throughout our current SCA community, events, and highlights of our groups and individuals across the lands?

Sir Jon and SCA Archers!

I feel this is a very worthy endeavor, therefore I will throw in my name to help in whatever manner
I can for the promotion of Archery. May I suggest starting an informal Archery newsletter committee
to steer the first edition layout, logos, guidelines, etc? If there is someone who now publishes a local
newsletter to guide us, I would be happy to do the leg work.

I have been building arrows from bare shafts, spine testing, matching, and tuning which could be a
series of articles, also I have been building "board bows" from buying the boards to the tillering process,
and this also could be a series of articles.

So, since this is likely to happen, we should consider what the archery community can do make this work. We will need a group to manage and edit the newsletter and to encourage submissions to it. It can have information on archery events,current scores for society wide competitions, short useful bits of information and reviews of suppliers and books as well as articles, photos and archery art. And anything else that would be appropriate. It would contain both target archery and combat archery information. The information in such a newsletter would be useful to many archers and could also demonstrate a sense of archery community.

I hope we have some people in this group that are interested in working on such a project. I can provide some articles for it. However, I have no background in publishing newsletters.

One thing we could definitely do would be to post the calendar of archery events for the season I know that the Eastwatch group in Cleveland has a weekly practice and that could be a on going listing. How often will the newsletter be published? I will start putting together a database of the articles in the "Bodkins Point" and the authors I take it we would then need "permission to publish"?

A few of the baronies in Illinois also have regular practices. Could be a great listing for anyone traveling to other areas. Pop in for a practice, meet other archers. A tidbit for the traveling archer.

might possibly try a seasonal list of where when practices / events are held , so that travelers could stop in and shoot with different groups , or events .

or possibly contact info for different areas , so travelers could check to see if something was going to be going on at the same time and place they were traveling to or through ..

samwise12345...

Recently I was at a local indoor range.  While there I started chatting
with some new archers. One of the ladies showed me her elbow.  It had
bruises that any heavy fighter would be proud to brag about.  These
bruises were "a few days old".  I recommended that she twist the elbow
out of the way like other female archers have to do.  She complained
that she had tried that already and it was to uncomfortable.  I then
suggested that she open her stance in order to put more of an angle in
the shoulder.  This "put to much pressure where she had back surgery".

I'm at a loss as to what to suggest if I ever run across these folks
again.  I know the bruises can't be sustained.  I'm afraid that they
might lead to other serious health issues (such as blood clots) if they
persist.

Any suggestions?

you might try having her line up both her shoulders with her bow hand .

sorry, I'm not very good at the description : (

a lot of females and some guys have issues with bending the elbow out of the way, it places a lot of extra stress on the arm muscles as well

by, aligning the shoulders and bow hand , the elbow will reposition from horizontal ( elbow facing up and down, widest parts sticking out the sides ) to vertical ( elbow facing sides, and widest parts sticking up and down ) .

you can also reposition the elbow by rolling the bow shoulder towards the bow hand, but it's harder on the shoulder joint in the long run : (

2nd possible solution,

if she is severely hyper extending her elbow , she may need a reinforced " long arm guard " that attaches both above and below the elbow , in order to restrict the hyper extension in the bow arm

hope that helps : )

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .

I usually have them start with the bow held horizontal then turn the
bow hand towards vertical without rotating the elbow.  In my
experience this works for the majority of elbow-slappers and does not
seem to place undue stress on the joint.  Otherwise, the "full-arm"
bracer helps.

Samuel,

As Arthur suggested, a long arm guard is the solution in the short run. Once she gets stronger her form will improve and she may not need it. I made a couple out of thick leather that strap around both the upper and lower arm. My guess is she is using a recurve bow. I have had less trouble with a longbow. When the brace height is too low it slaps me in the wrist, but nowhere as hard as I used to be hit by a recurve. Perhaps she ought to start with a low poundage longbow.

you might try having her line up both her shoulders with her bow hand .
sorry, I'm not very good at the description : (
a lot of females and some guys have issues with bending the elbow out of the way, it places a lot of extra stress on the arm muscles as well
by, aligning the shoulders and bow hand , the elbow will reposition from horizontal ( elbow facing up and down, widest parts sticking out the sides ) to vertical ( elbow facing sides, and widest parts sticking up and down ) .
you can also reposition the elbow by rolling the bow shoulder towards the bow hand, but it's harder on the shoulder joint in the long run : (
2nd possible solution,
if she is severely hyper extending her elbow , she may need a reinforced " long arm guard " that attaches both above and below the elbow , in order to restrict the hyper extension in the bow arm
hope that helps : )

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .

Subject: [SCA-Archery] I need help with a coaching problem

Recently I was at a local indoor range. While there I started chatting

with some new archers. One of the ladies showed me her elbow. It had

bruises that any heavy fighter would be proud to brag about. These

bruises were "a few days old". I recommended that she twist the elbow

out of the way like other female archers have to do. She complained

that she had tried that already and it was to uncomfortable. I then

suggested that she open her stance in order to put more of an angle in

the shoulder. This "put to much pressure where she had back surgery".

I'm at a loss as to what to suggest if I ever run across these folks

again. I know the bruises can't be sustained. I'm afraid that they

might lead to other serious health issues (such as blood clots) if they

persist.

Any suggestions?

Samuel

Mostly Humour
thought IT could be a bit of  truth
Have her switch hands
If she can hit her self in the left elbow
while holding the bow in her right
hand she is amazing

I would recommend a lower poundage bow. The problem is her form is wrong and due to several issues she does not have the strength and ability to change it. She has to go to a lower poundage bow and build up. I will have people lie on their side on a couch and use the arm that is up to reach down to the floor and pick up a gallon jug of water, after some reps that way switch ends and lay on the other side and do it again. It does not take long to build up enough muscles to start correcting the form. Also, remember it is better to shoot 20 arrows with correct for and then stop rather than continue shooting 30 more arrows and doing it wrong.

I usually have them start with the bow held horizontal then turn the
bow hand towards vertical without rotating the elbow. In my
experience this works for the majority of elbow-slappers and does not
seem to place undue stress on the joint. Otherwise, the "full-arm"
bracer helps.

What fun!  I suggest a humorous section of questions or comments to marshals by
those being taught or marshaled or stories about funny things that happen.  Only
the nice ones of course, but there are some very funny things that occur and
make us all laugh or chuckle out there and I'd love to hear some from fields
