With all the sunshine lately, I've been getting in some more practice. I put in a busy week from April 1 to the 7th, including making a new set of gift arrows and posting a new episode of the podcast, getting ready for Drew University's "That Medieval Thing" number 20. In a five hour time span we saw rain, hail, and snow. 30 minutes after the event was over, with no real archery, the sun peeked out. No complaining, simple statement of facts. The only archery to be had that day was with a Lord of the Rings crossbow, that shoots foam arrows. I still got the highest scores, but it was a bit hollow. I got re-aquainted with marqulin / foam simulation swords.

Easter was great. We were fortunate enough to get a four day weekend. I hope the true meaning of Easter visited your house and hearts this weekend.

I'm planning to attend the Appalachain Bowmen's 3D traditional shoot this comming Saturday. It takes place at the Whittingham Wildlife Management Area. Last Fall we saw Byron Ferguson there. After that, the next event for us is the Delfwood SCA archery day in Syracuse, NY. The kids shoot for that event is the best, hands down. Listen to episode three to get more info.
