Scarlet Guard Inn 2017- Post event aftermath!

THL Cynwulf Rendell

Greetings to the Barony of the Rhydderich Hael from your Captain of Archers, Cynwulf Rendell. The Barony should be proud of the Hael Hounds and their excellent efforts at the Scarlet Guard Inn Archery Festival! The Hael had sixteen Hael Hounds, two future Hounds and five Friends of the Hounds at this event!

On Friday evening, Lady Feya started out being the top female shooter using a modern era bow, in the Flight Shoot achieving 165 yards distance.  Hael Yeah! In the Scarlet Guard Challenge, representing the Barony of the Rhydderich Hael, was Lady Thalia and Lord Chebe of the Canton of Beau Fleuve, proudly shooting. As with everything else in life, another archer prevailed. We all should be proud of the effort put forth!

The Scarlet Guard Challengers

In the Kingdom of Aethelmearc Archery Championship ,the Hael Hounds had three participating in the finals, Lady Siobhan,  Lady Thalia, and Lord Theodoric. Two Friends of the Hael Hounds also made the finals, Baron Edward and Lord Snorri. When all the shooting was said and done, another archer prevailed. These archers should be applauded!

Kingdom Champion Shoot!

In court, the Hounds showed their skills and efforts by being called for recognition. Lady Feya was called for her Flight Shoot achievement. THL Milheim was called for his great shot, shooting a two inch bird target at 29 yards on his first shot wit his crossbow. (Note, no actual living bird was damaged during this shoot). Lord Mikus was called up for his great shot, placing an arrow exactly between the eyes of a dragon target, (Note, no actual living dragon was damaged during this shoot). One of the Friends of the Hounds, Lord Martin Lewis was called up as a winner of his range. One the great highlights of court was watching an AOA being awarded to Thalia and Chebe for at least one part of their efforts in Hael Archery. Vivant to Lady Thalia and Lord Chebe!

It should be noted that  Hael Hounds Lady Siobhan, Lady Simmonetta, Lord Chebe and the Friends of the Hael Hounds, Baron Edward, Baroness Anastasie,and Lord Snorri fulfilled their duties as Queen's Guards. In addition to duties, Lady Siobhan, Lady Simmonetta , Lord Robert L'Etourdi and I (Cynwulf Rendell), worked bow inspection for the event. These three individuals made great strides on becoming archery marshals.  

         

After court, it was time to eat and celebrate the day. Our illustrious Baron Magnus, with help, went on a pizza run while the Friends of the Hounds, Baron Edward and Baroness Anastasie BBQ'ed  fourteen lbs of ribs to feed the hounds and cooked additional items too numerous to remember! Thank you and a great Howl to these two!

Lady Simmonetta, Baroness Miriel, Lady Feya and Lord Snorri led the group in relaxing and funny songs. Also, some good stories and some bad jokes were told! Scarlet Guard Inn hit the mark and all went home happy and proud.
