Your welcome.  Thanks for hooking him up with the local groups he expressed an
interest in.

One thing that everyone should remember is that we were all new to the SCA once.
We had no idea what was going on, or who to talk to.  By being polite and
helpful, even when you are 2500  miles away, when the person is new helps toward
keeping the person around long-term.  Blowing him or her off tends to result in
blowing them away from the SCA.

Respectfully,
Antonio Tagliaferro

greetings
 
Castellan is always a blast , lots of room, lots of activities, lots of good food, lots of good people = )
 
 unfortunately, no, that is the early on day for OJAM  out close to Stillwater .  www.ojam.org  , setting up the tools , and the pavilion roofs so that people stay un sun burnt, and dry , maybe helping set up the 3d woods walk targets, etc.
starting Thursday,  I'll actually be making kids rattan bows, working on a couple laminate bows  ( bamboo backed epay, and hopefully a new bamboo backed Osage  : ), and just having general fun , until Sunday when I return in time for missile practice on the 24th ... I hope   : )
 
Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .

Dear Western style archers,

When a new person of whom you have not seen before comes out to the range with an Eastern bow and they seem to be doing things "differently" please allow them the time, space and consideration to shoot in their style. If you have questions save them for after the round of the shoot as tapping and double teaming the person and Literally standing over them asking them if they are doing it right will only make them flustered but also wish they had never bothered to use your range. Shooting styles are not all the same. Please allow for archers to shoot in their preferred method.  http://www.kyudo.org/html/articles/shichido_eng1.html there is an article on a different shooting style.

I will certainly never use a new bow on range without others who shoot in the same style with me again.

Giovanna,
One very flustered mounted archer

Giovanna,

While I agree with your sentiment, I will have to disagree with your request.  It has nothing to do with you, or Eastern vs Western Archery, it has to do with safety concerns.  If the range Marshal(s) sees something that does not look correct, or possibly unsafe, he/she is obligated to step in and verify things.  The simple solution is that when you, or any other archers, who may use an unusual  bow and/or style, at check in, make sure that you mention this to the Marshal, so that he/she is aware of the altered style, then there is no need for any interruption.

I am not sure the issue is safety but consideration of others on the range.  Giovanna does not cite safety but the annoyance of others invading the space of a workout/practice. I have had people come up to an archery lesson I am giving and tell me I am doing it all wrong. I am a level 4 NTS coach and I am doing it wrong… I usually have to just shake my head and move on. I understand that we see things differently. People are always happy that they have learned something new and they think that what they were just taught was gifts from the gods. I am not focused on my wrongness because that is not what I am working on. I also have to give these people the chance to come to their own conclusion that interrupting my lesson/practice is rude and sooner or later they will be in the same position and I hope they will respond in kind.

 

I agree with you, Giovanna, we need to tolerate other archery forms. Some days people just don’t get it.

 

James Everglad.

Those are not complete thought, but a start

I had barely taken a breath and tried to move into the first stance when I was tapped and interrupted.  Fluster any one to the point they can't think and stand over them and there are bound to be some issues. I should have just stepped back and not shot at all. But then hindsight is 20-20. I had spoken about my experience with another female yumi archer and she had been interrupted in her stance and time on range as well. If I had stayed at war I would have gone back to the range with her. If I am being unsafe by all means let me know. But merely holding my bow and taking a breath does not denote a saftey issue.

As someone with limited Kyudo experience was the stance one that would normally be considered "incorrect" in SCA archery IE one foot not straddling the line?

Ensuring basic safety is the marshal's primary job.

In this game we play, giving a bit of courtesy will get you a lot more in return. May I suggest in the future that you check in with the archery marshal on the range before you shoot. If you briefly explain your shooting style and show them your equipment, there would be no need to bother you while shooting. And they would keep others from disturbing you.

My tip: be knowledgeable, confident, and display safety at all times. Possibly carry a sheet showing the positions of your (spiritual) method of shooting. Also, while not mandatory in every kingdom, please be knowledgeable about the parts of your equipment. If you show up with knot(s) in your string, you should know whether or not it is a bowyers knot.

SCA archers seem to heckle and tease each other while shooting, so when anyone new comes to the range some of that will trickle down. I've seen it in multiple Kingdoms. Personally, I prefer a quiet range, but have had to accommodate for the noisy shooters.

All too often, even at our local stores' ranges, I've had to stop shooting and give lessons to kids and adults so that they would stop pointing their arrows at the back of my head while drawing. Nothing kills my (meditative) archery buzz like arrows not pointed down range, shooting across several lanes unintentionally, dry firing, or shooting at me. Don't even joke about shooting me. Besides, the paperwork on that would be... Yeah, just don't go there.

Yes, that was the beginning and I tried to explain I was getting to straddling the line in a moment as I was stepping up to it when the poking began. I tried to explain what I was doing but that is very hard with two men poking and asking you the same questions over and over at once without allowing you to answer.

If you are using a bow of an SCA approved type, the bow
has been accepted by the TAM, you are not in a stance
or draw position that violates safety, event rules or
courtesy, I find a gently voiced, "Bugger off!", is
effective with interferers. But then, I'm older with
diminishing tolerance levels.

No, I did not begin to load till I just grew fustrated and just straddled the line and dropped the rest of the steps. I did begin trying to load it but I had people leaning over me on both sides that I could not turn. Thankfully once I started as if to load they moved and I could turn, straddle and load. By that point I was so flustered I am amazed I even got it nocked.

You would think shooting from the ground an hour after shooting from rodeo prancing pony who was not listening to me at all would be easier LOL
It however was not.

Next time I will bring documentation and speak to who ever is running the range.

Yes, that was the beginning and I tried to explain I was getting to straddling the line in a moment as I was stepping up to it when the poking began. I tried to explain what I was doing but that is very hard with two men poking and asking you the same questions over and over at once without allowing you to answer.

Gio,

As someone with limited Kyudo experience was the stance one that would normally be considered "incorrect" in SCA archery IE one foot not straddling the line?

I had barely taken a breath and tried to move into the first stance when I was tapped and interrupted.  Fluster any one to the point they can't think and stand over them and there are bound to be some issues. I should have just stepped back and not shot at all. But then hindsight is 20-20. I had spoken about my experience with another female yumi archer and she had been interrupted in her stance and time on range as well. If I had stayed at war I would have gone back to the range with her. If I am being unsafe by all means let me know. But merely holding my bow and taking a breath does not denote a saftey issue.

Doesn't sound like any SCA range that I have ever been a part of. We have a couple of yumis, horsebows shot with or without thumb ring, many recurves, longbows, period longbows, and a few crossbows and period crossbows. All are able to shoot and it is up to the range marshal to make sure that safe procedures are followed.
 
I hope you get everything cleared with the local group.

Sadly it was not a local group. If it had been a local group I would have been more able to pull them aside and explained what I was doing.

I do not believe Sir Jon has started the vote for the next shoot yet.  But as always if there are any new ideas not in the 'Whats Next' section of the SSAC please send them in for consideration.

For the spring and summer I would love to see more options beyond 20 yards to choose from.

The competition for Spring has not yet been voted on. That will happen at the end of the month and the vote will be taken on this group.

Please look at the possible competitions on the SCA scores site. 

If anyone has any new competitions, please let us know as soon as possible.

I put this out to all of you who have shot the SSACs especially with several people.

What was the groups' favorites to shoot? Were any either easy or difficult to score well?

Cat,

I answered your questions first with the consensus I got from our archery practice participants' feedback, and my own personal feelings added at the end of each.

1. From the comments made by shooters at our local practices, the Roundel Sextet seems to have been very frustrating to score as well as shoot, particularly the shooters having to alternate shooting each target in order, and the penalty/penalties for double-hitting the wrong roundel and keeping track of who hit what(This is from the feedback I received).
- I had mixed feelings about this shoot. It got very frustrating to keep track of arrow hits and who would lose points for hitting the wrong 'roundel', especially with several shooters per round.

2. So far, the most popular SSAC shoot at our local Baronial practices has been the Triangle shoot.
- It was also my personal favorite, being easy to score, but also challenging to aim at.

I hope my feedback is useful.
