Archery and Thrown Weapons

Archery
Target Archery will begin after Morning Court on Saturday, and the Range will close at 3PM for teardown. There will be prizes for Period Handbow, Crossbow, and Open Handbow. Period Division requires Period arrow nocks.

Thrown Weapons
For Battle on the Bay we have some exciting stuff planned for the Thrown weapons range this year!

  • We are currently planning to have four targets for axes and knives, one soft spear target, one hard spear target, and a ground target for plumbata. The hard spear target is specifically designed to simulate a shield, and the goal is to pierce the shield. This target was designed with the Roman Pilum in mind. We plan to have a small anvil available if throwers need to straighten their spears.
  • There will be a tournament on Saturday, but we have not finalized plans for that tournament at this time.
  • On Friday evening, we are hoping to have a night throw is there is enough interest.
