SCA: Battle armor and archery!

  We tried the SCA youth combat and archery practice this fall and winter.   Ephraim did really well in the combat portion.  Sylvia and I enjoyed the archery. 

   The SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) is a group that tries to replicate medieval arts, music, and battle as much as possible.  They are serious about their scholarship, but also very welcoming to anyone who is curious and just wants to give it a try.

This weapon takes different tactics than an axe or sword.

This is one tough girl!
