TOWARDS a MORE MEDIEVAL ARCHER -Improving Your Recreation of the Middle Ages on the Range
APPENDIX 1: TOWARDS A MORE MEDIEVAL ARCHER -Improving Your Recreation of the Middle Ages on the Range Philologus: What is the chief point in shooting that every man laboureth to come to? Toxophilus: To hit the mark Phi.: How many things are required to make a man evermore hit the mark? Tox.: Two, shooting straight and keeping of length Phi.: How should a man shoot straight, and how should a man keep a length? Tox.: In knowing and having things belonging to shooting; and when they be known and had, in well handling of them; whereof some belong to shooting straight, some to keeping of a length, some commonly to them both, as shall be told severally of them in place convenient. Phi.: Things belonging to shooting, what be they? Tox.: All things be outward; and some be instruments for every sere archer to bring with him, proper for his own use: others be general to every man, as the place and time serveth. Phi.: Which be instruments? Tox.: Bracer, shooting glove, string, bow, and shaft. Phi.: Which be general to all men? Tox.: The weather and the mark; yet the mark is ever under the rule of the weather. Toxophilus, 1544 The most important points to be considered when trying to improve the recreation of medieval archery within an SCA setting may be grouped in a similar way to those described above in Ascham's treatise on the how’s and why’s of shooting (which was structured as a discussion between Philologus, a lover of learning, and Toxophilus, a lover of the bow). -

Editorial by Morten Wilmann, Chairman Dear Judges, When writing this editorial we are just up front of the Olympics. For judges on duty for that event, it is starting to be a bit thrilling. Some athletes are saying that this “is only one event like other events”, and some may regard it as such (although I doubt if they manage). In spite of recent news about extensive doping in some sports and in some countries, I still think that the Olympics stands out as a very special event, well regarded and connected with “personal glory” for the winners. Archery in the Olympics 2016 – in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – takes place in the famous street of the Sanbodromo where the carnival regularly takes place, again a rather iconic place for archery. These are surroundings that may add some thrill to the competition, and your committee is confident that our judges will perform at the same top level as the archers – in spite of the possible stress of the moments.
