A photo of me in my SCA garb, posing with my longbow and arrows out at the archery field of Panteria (an SCA camping event). Why yes! My colour theme for my clothing is blue and purple ;) I just think they're a lovely combination :) And my SCA name is Lisabetta delle Medalliole, as pointed out in the title. I don't really dress the part of a 15th century Italian, but I'm not too concerned about it right now. I'm just comfortable with wearing my surcoat, chemise and Robin Hood hat ;)

It's not that hard, really :) Once you figure out how to nock the bow with the arrow (and make sure you're using the right bow for left or right handed), then it's just pulling back and letting go :) Once you get that down pat, then you worry about aiming at the target ;)
I'll be in it now for nearly a year (started going to gatherings and meetings in Sept. 2006) but I still very much consider myself a newbie! XD
Watching the fighters is always fun :) I don't think I'd want to be doing that (rushing towards each other, and whacking each other with sticks!) but combat archery is starting to sound more and more appealing to me :)

Do they have an Email list? I'm on the mailing list for ours here in Vermont (Mountain Freehold), as well as the Ottawa group and Montreal group too :) It's a good way to keep in touch with SCAdians in your area and what they've got going for upcoming stuff :)
I've only been in the SCA since Sept. 2006 and I've been having a ball! :) We're not paying members, but we still like going to events and stuff :) I'm not a fighter (although I like archery! Hard to tell from my photo, eh? LOL!) and there's so many A&S things out there, I can't wait to jump into them!
(Darn, I wish FA can edit comments, I just responded to my own post rather than yours!)
