Prayer of the Grey Goose Wing.

Within these few yeeres, I to mind doe call
The yeoman of the guard were archers all.
A hundred at a time I oft have seen,
With bowes and arrowes ride before the Queen.
Their bowes in hand, their quivers on their shoulders,
Was a most stately shew to the beholders.
And herein, if men rightly doe observe,
The arrowes did for two great uses serve:
First for a shew of great magnificence,
And trustie weapons for to guard their prince.
John Taylor, the Water Poet

This page is badly outdated and I hope to begin work on it again soon.  If you are interested in tradition archery please visit St. Sebastian's Renaissance Guild.  This great guild recreates the craft and skill of longbow archery from 1100 AD through the mid 1600's, with a strong focus on the Tudor renaissance period.  This page will soon cover various topics on period archery.  Until then, please use the following links to some great sites:
