Description:
The Barony of Altavia invites archers of all experience levels to join us for the Caidan Archery Open, where we’ll determine the Caidan Champions in Open, Period Handbow, and Crossbow!
Newer archer? You are absolutely welcome here. If you can safely shoot a Royal Round, and you can bring (or arrange to borrow) your own bow and arrows (or crossbow + bolts) you can participate. Come for the challenge, the camaraderie, and a full day on the range.
To begin the day, all archers will shoot three (3) Royal Rounds. After scores are tallied, the top 8 archers will advance to a single-elimination bracket, where matchups will be 1v1 head-to-head Royal Rounds until champions are determined.
Please note that there will not be any loaner gear available, so be sure to bring your own equipment or arrange to borrow some ahead of time. Thrown Weapons will be hosted at a different event this year.
In addition to becoming the Caidan Champions for the year, winners in each division—Open, Period, and Crossbow—will receive a dozen arrows or bolts! Bring water, snacks, and sun protection, and plan for a full day of shooting. We can’t wait to see you on the line!
Cost: $0!
There is no Registration cost for this event. Donations are encouraged to help cover the cost of prizes.
