A good day for primitive archery (pic heavy)

[Holten101]

would have been awesome if everyone there, stood in a line and fired arrows all at once.  that would have been too much cool!

Yeah...but with 110 archers we had a lack of space;-). Two groups fired in succesion at the long range (150 m), and people with weaker bows fired at 100 m and kids again at 50 m (iirc).

You still got a feeling of how it must have been at Agincourt;-) (or maybe not...but it was fun).

Cheers

Cool photos.  I like it that some people dressed in traditional clothing as well as using wood bows.  Thanks for sharing.

Holten, sounds like a fantastic outing.  I'd love to see one like that here some day.

It really sounds like getting permitted to hunt Roe with Traditional gear is quite the accomplishment.  I agree with you that anyone who does achieve it should be proud and happy indeed.  Very, very interesting stuff.

Thanks a ton for sharing your day and all the pics!

Excellent information - I'm following Hatch's thread and had wondered.  Sounds like a difficult test, for sure.  I suppose though, difficult is better than none at all.
Thanks again for the excellent post.

Thanks for typing all that info, Holten.  Very interesting!

I didn't know that you need a firearms license in order to gain a bowhunter license.  Kind of unfair to those who don't shoot guns, eh? 

Got some questions for you that might seem like hijacking this thread so I'll send you a PM

It looked like a great time for all. The pictures looked familiar and when I saw the fire pit I realized this is where my friend Claude Van Order participated in a reenactment for Vikings. He was there collecting Danish flint a few years ago and giving Knapping Demostrations with another Danish Gentleman.

Wow! Also anyone that has the cahones to make a twenty Meter shot on a deer that small deserves a hunting permit. IMO that is plain stupid government, BS to require that.

Awesome.  Thanks for sharing.
