would have been awesome if everyone there, stood in a line and fired arrows all at once.  that would have been too much cool!

Yeah...but with 110 archers we had a lack of space;-). Two groups fired in succesion at the long range (150 m), and people with weaker bows fired at 100 m and kids again at 50 m (iirc).

You still got a feeling of how it must have been at Agincourt;-) (or maybe not...but it was fun).

Cheers

Cool photos.  I like it that some people dressed in traditional clothing as well as using wood bows.  Thanks for sharing.

Holten, sounds like a fantastic outing.  I'd love to see one like that here some day.

It really sounds like getting permitted to hunt Roe with Traditional gear is quite the accomplishment.  I agree with you that anyone who does achieve it should be proud and happy indeed.  Very, very interesting stuff.

Thanks a ton for sharing your day and all the pics!

Excellent information - I'm following Hatch's thread and had wondered.  Sounds like a difficult test, for sure.  I suppose though, difficult is better than none at all.
Thanks again for the excellent post.

Thanks for typing all that info, Holten.  Very interesting!

I didn't know that you need a firearms license in order to gain a bowhunter license.  Kind of unfair to those who don't shoot guns, eh? 

Got some questions for you that might seem like hijacking this thread so I'll send you a PM ;)

It looked like a great time for all. The pictures looked familiar and when I saw the fire pit I realized this is where my friend Claude Van Order participated in a reenactment for Vikings. He was there collecting Danish flint a few years ago and giving Knapping Demostrations with another Danish Gentleman.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Wow! Also anyone that has the cahones to make a twenty Meter shot on a deer that small deserves a hunting permit. IMO that is plain stupid government, BS to require that.
