To hone our defenses the fighting will take the form of battle scenarios including combat archery. Our Warlord and Earl Marshal shall see that we are all prepared for the battles ahead. Baron Soiichiro will be conducting classes and authorizations to swell the ranks of combat archers. We will also be set up to practice the various archery shoots for Pennsic. An area will be set aside for fencers who wish to make ready for the Pennsic Tournaments. Youth Combat practice and authorizations will be held in the afternoon. All this and merchants too!
