Kilted Archery

[Blupiper]

Last weekend I was up to a friend's place for his Renaissance-themed event. He wanted a piper, doesn't mind piobaireachd and the day way beautiful. While I don't have any Ren-type garb (see, I know the terms), I did have a ghillie shirt and a 'swordsman' style of vest. Matched it up with my USA 5-yarder in muted Galloway Hunting. While we were getting ready, he asked me if I wanted to loose a few arrows on his own archery lane. I'm always up for that. Here I am, taking aim:

Setting to loose:

And the pleat shot:

It's like a lot of things: you do better if you practice. Didn't lose any arrows, by the same token, didn't score many points in the target rings. Oh, well, the piping was well received and we all had a fine time.
