Archery the Old Fashioned Way

Archers warming up.

Closing court. Handing out the awards.

My SCA friends had a big archery event on Sat. and I thought I'd share some of my photos. I wish I'd thought to have someone take my photos shooting my self bow that Richard Saffold made.

Wand shoot.  Yellow is five, blue is 3 and nothing else counts.

A blown self nock.  This is why we reinforce them with horn.

Crossbow and bolts.
