From Joseph de La Tour
At all practices, we will shoot Royal Rounds for the Mists-Cynagua principality challenge. Those shooting for either principality are welcome.
We will always have loaner gear available, and newcomers to archery are welcome. Please e-mail me if you have questions or need directions.
We welcome not only folks from our home barony of Vinhold, but also our neighbors from Champclair, Wolfscairn, Calderium, or even further away if you want to make the trip!
We have traditionally said practices are "rain or shine". My garage is available for a session on arrow making, string making, or just hanging out if the weather doesn't cooperate. If you want to call to see if we'll actually be shooting, best time is about an hour before, to 707-996-3729.
See you soon I hope!
Yours in service,
Joseph de la Tour
