Pennsic 50 Archery News
The range was set up Monday morning, July 31, and was busy all during “peace week”, with practice, classes and novelty shoots.
The Pennsic Flight Shoot (where archers try for the longest shots) took place early morning on Friday, Aug. 4. I read that the winning shot was estimated at 210 yards. Participants in the Flight Shoot earned bonus points toward the Period Shoot on Sunday.
A shoot-off of Baronial Archery Champions of the Known World took place Saturday afternoon, and was won by Lord Sojourner van Haarlem, champion of the Barony of Carolingia.
The 9th Pennsic Period Shoot was held Sunday Morning, Aug. 5. There were 30 participants this year, all using equipment and wearing garb appropriate to their “period” personae. Even the tests of skill were based on shoots from our period of study. The 4 winners each received a period-style recurve bow, donated by Ali Bow, and other participants received bracers, shooting tabs, and pouches donated by 3Rivers Archery.
