Event description:

Altavia's Agincourt Anniversary Sunday October 28, 2012 The Battle of Agincourt was a decisive victory for the English during the Hundred Years War. The French were sure their superior numbers and the crossbow would bring a swift victory to France. The outnumbered Englishmen with their longbows proved them wrong. C'est la vie!

The Barony of Altavia invites you to join us on October 28, 2012 at Woodley Park archery range as we celebrate the 597th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt. Altavia's Archery and Thrown Weapons champions (adult and youth) will be decided from the day's competitors!

Memories

From Nikolaos Phaistios

I have the pleasure of announcing the winner of Altavia's Agincourt….Cristof Castillani defeated Maud of the Well from 45 yards to take the title. It was a rather warm day and there were almost 30 competitors. Everyone shot admirably and honorably. Congratulations to everyone who came out to shoot.

Our Youth Champion. Although the field was narrow, he shot as well as some of the adults: Nikoli Stagghorn is our youth Champion!!! Congratulations to Nikoli!!!!!

We also had a Halloween inspired novelty shoot. The archers defeated horrible creatures like bats, spiders, black flowers of death, scary jack-o-lanterns and even a haunted tomb stone. Fun was had by all!

They got 4 spears to hit the straw bales - 1 point any stick (2 if spear stays off ground) 3 points for spooky targets, 5 points for spearing the pumpkin or in the spooky knocker ring.

Our top 4 finalist were Stvyn of Altavia with 26 points, Sorcha Dudb with 14 points, Vigualfr Ragnarsson with 14 points and ihon MacLucas with 11 points.

They threw 2 of each with an addition of a Zombie Cross throw (5 points for each stick). Points were same.

Winners were 4th place with 10 points Styvn of Altavia, 3rd place with 11 points - Ihon MacLucas, 2nd place with 16 points Sorcha Dudb and the new Altavia champion with 17 points Vigualfe Ragnarsson
