Spring Fling II – Darken the sky with missiles!

Friends, Spring Fling is coming very soon! this an event dedicated to Combat Missile weapons!

I am very excited to share this combat archery, and siege event! Come join the missile flinging fun!

Friday night, for those on site, we will be hosting a ‘laid back’ bardic featuring stories, tall or true, about yours, or others exploits with missile weapons!

The morning will bring classes, inspections and authorizations. So make sure you brush up on the rules, you have loads of time!

There will also be a Missile Weapon Tourney! We will be hosting at least the ‘Speed Round’ variant with multiple weapon types.

From around noon ’til 4 at least. It will be a mix of War Practice with some strategy and exercises as well as scenarios like capture the flag, woods battle and open field teams.

After field exercises we will host a short Q&A session about the Valiance Proposal. Look for the Valiance banner.

Now this is primarily Combat Missile event, but we do ask that at least few of our rattan friends show up. We can use your help in authorizing, inspections and participation in exercises! Treat this event as a ‘War Practice’ to focus on teamwork as well as coordinate with our rattan friends so we work more efficiently with our army!
(Please note the official War Practice is coming up as well and combat archers are welcome!)

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the activities!

Watch where you point that thing! Thrown weapons place in the SCA

It came up that thrown weapons are handled differently from Kingdom to Kingdom. For instance I recently learned that in Meridies, a combat archery cannot use thrown weapons. This is apparently only for ‘heavy’ or ‘rattan’ fighting use.

So how many variances are there in the combat community? Does it make sense that CAs or siege engineers cannot use throwing axes, maces, knives?

Im curious about the debate for and against. Society law is pretty clear about who can and who cannot. Clearly a CA cannot engage in melee unless specific conditions are met, and then only if the combatant is authorized appropriately.

Please comment below with your thoughts!

OMG Im not a Marshal anymore?!?

(links are Atlantia specific, but look on your Kingdom site for equivalents)

Hello all,

Well recently I got a message from a friend saying, “We dont see you on the Combat Archery Marshals list, so you can go suck and egg!” Well, OK, that NEVER happened, but it did happen that I wasn’t on the Marshal lists!! True story!

OH MY!!

What can you do when you don’t appear there? There are several reasons why you may not appear:

Membership expired
class(es) overdue
not filing reports
warrant pulled

What can you do?

Start by logging into your SCA account and checking your status.

All good? Great! Next you need to check the rosters. In my case Target Archery and Combat Archery Marshal

Ruh Roh Reaorge! Not there eh? Well the good news is, each page has a link to the Earl Marshal or other relevant contact.

Did you take a class? Who with? Did they submit their reports? Follow up with them.

Did you file an event report after you were an MiC or helped marshal at an event? Well go ahead and file that report right now!

Are you ABOUT to expire? Check the list!

Do some homework first before you contact the EM office(rs). This will make their job easier. Some situation are simple oversights and easily fixed. Sometimes it will take more work (warrant pulled). But address the issues!

One thing is true, the sooner you fix it, the better!

Dont be ‘that person’ who has to retake the class(es) for a new warrant.

Your Kingdom, and populace need your support!

Stay current, Have Fun!
