range while I headed back to camp for my
arrows. Thankfully there was this big black
pickup by our tent and I was able to get a
ride in it back to the range. Thank you
Ethan!
I did not shoot well but I still enjoyed the
challenge of the long distance shoot. This
time I did not lose a single arrow. Afterwards
there was an invasion of several archers
at Odessy Coffee who stopped for cool
and refreshing mocha slushies.

Sunday morning found me prepping balloons
for the Hill shoot that afternoon, and
then William and I headed down early to start
setting the range up. Usually during the shoot,
I am the designated scorekeeper. I like it since
it helps me get to know what name belongs to
what archer. When the main shoots were done
I headed back to camp to start cooking because
it was our turn to cook that evening.
Sunday night brought a storm (no surprise)
which kept me from getting a lot of sleep, because
I was holding down a side of our tent that
we had accidentally forgot to put a couple stakes
in.
Monday morning I was down at the throwing
range for the Thrown Weapons for Women
class that I was teaching with Hanne
Abendeschein. Five women turned out to learn
to throw, and during the class we received a visit
from Her Majesty Conna. I asked her if she
would like to try a throw since she was wearing
the proper shoes. She declined but did stay and
watch for awhile.
That afternoon I started to head to the long
distance range when I realized that yes, I had
my bow, my guard and gloves but no arrows! I
told you I didn't get a lot of sleep. A couple of
archers volunteered to take my stuff to the

Tuesday morning I took part in the
David and Goliath shoot. If you chose to
shoot for David (Semjaka) you shot at Goliath.
If you were shooting for Goliath (Sir
Damien) you shot at David. Even though
there were more archers shooting for David,
Goliath still won.
In the afternoon there was a Team Wand
Shoot. This shoot had rules of what your
team was to consist of. Each team was to
have three people: one was to be a youth seventeen
or under, one archer needed to be a
Boga Fyrd or Boga Hirth but you could not
have both, and you needed one person to be
of the opposite sex. Our team consisted of
Eric, his daughter Kelly, and myself. Kelly
chose our team name which was The Hill
People because they were from Flynthill and
of course, I was from Heraldshill. We had a
choice of three wands at different distances
