Reign of Arrows
From MiddleWiki
Reign of Arrows was a popular all archery and camping event held by the Shire of Stormvale from 2011 through 2019. It drew people from several states as well as Canada.
The premise was for the main competition to mimic the Pennsic Archery Champions shoot at war, with targets that were challenging, yet still fun for any skill level.
The event started with practice, novice shoots, and possibly an SSAC shoot. Then, the archers would be split into teams. Normally each team would be limited to one, or two, if necessary, Greenwood archers. (This was too prevent one team from overwhelming the rest, and to let the more experienced archers help those less skilled.)
The teams would cycle through ten stations in a shotgun start. Following completion of the stations, a clout shoot was held, with scoring similar to the war clout. Score cards would be collected, and a prize would go to the archers in the highest scoring team and the individual high scoring archers in crossbow and handbow.
In the evening, various fun shoots were available for those who stayed, such as a glow stick shoot.
The first year, classes on various Archery topics were offered. However, they were dropped in later years as people wanted to shoot more.
From its 2nd year to the end, it hosted the Middle Kingdom Summer Schutzenfest.
