Archery? Fencing? Anyone?
I was just wondering if anyone here besides me does archery or sword fighting. I've been doing both for 8 years and I love it.

Tournament archery with a compound bow, set between 60-80lb pull, preferably Hoyt or ProLine.

I do archery mostly target shooting. I have done a good deal of bow hunting. I haven't done fencing but I enjoy watching it.

I fenced in college...oh, about 30 years ago...loved it though.
My son is going into high school in the fall and was bummed that, with all of the many sports they offer, fencing isn't one of them.

No fencing (my mum's a competitive fencer, though), but did longsword and arming sword for 5-6 years. Used to do English longbow as well with the same martial arts group, but that was short lived. Nowhere near as fun as longsword or grappling.

I did tourney compound bow back in the 80s. 125lb pull. Now the poor thing is out in the garage collecting dust. Its one of those things I just cant get rid of, bc I keep chanting that "I just know I'll get back into it one day" mantra. LOL
OMG, I love swords. Competition in the 90s using Shaolin broadswords, Northern Long sword, Sai, Tiger Fork, Kwan Dao, Staff and Spears. Also have done some Non Comp Japanese sword, and I love sword fighting w. renn type blades. Im just now starting to learn Bodhidharma Cane. Our local community college offers Fencing. I have always wanted to take the class, but it never jives with my crazy work schedule. |

I forgot all about crossbows. I love those, but I dont own one.
As for Archery, I dont ever see myself competing in it again, but maybe a lil backyard practice. Just dont have the interest I had back in the day. LOL I feel anything but "impressive". More like a "has been", but at least I can say, "Ive been there, done that, got the hardware to prove it". I do keep mulling over the poss of MA comp again. But now that Im transitioning and passing 100% as male, I dont see how I could. Im afraid if I show up as male now, all my past wins may get challenged. I used to blow my comp away as female, so it may be brought up. I was the State AAU Champ for 2 yrs. AOK Circuit State Champ 2 yrs. AOK National Champ 1 yr. And 1st in many divisions in diff state circuits. Im well known, so couldnt hide. LOL My post trans name will be same as comp name, just a minor spelling change. I also cant see myself at this age (48), and health level ever being able to compete at the even higher level. I used to work a 12 hr shift. 1-2 hrs wgt train 5-6 days a wk. 2-4 hrs a day 6 days a wk., MA train. Then to top it off I road my bike to wk & gym about 16 miles a day. All this was pre heart surg & cancer. I retired because of the start of the heart probs. After it got fixed, other things came up, and I never got back into it. Now I just do Yoga, and a few MA workouts once in awhile. |

Another Vote for Fencing
I am another one who fenced when I was in college and loved it / miss it.
I got pretty good-- since I started when I was a freshman and it took over 7 years to finish off the degree. <grin> I should have spent more time hitting the books rather than practicing with a dowl in my local park. Oh yeah-- I was one of those. " The truth is, I grew up trying to be Jean Luc Picard and since he fenced-- I HAD TO FENCE! I would have tried to be James T. Kirk, but he never fenced or drank "earl grey hot!" ~CF |

The challenge has been issued Nah, but for realz (or not), suddenly I'm reminded of my BBG days when we used to have epic forum RPG battles. I really should play again, but they suck for productivity lol *swings longsword from woman's guard in downward cut toward unprotected neck* *tries to quickly bring sword upward to defend against downward strike...trips onto arse, rolls backward and Jackie Chan-flips back onto feet* Btw, 23 crossbows? How'd you manage that? Any medieval crossbows among them? |

Quarter staff and spear are awesome, too. I didn't nearly do enough of that. In JKD we used to do some stick fighting as well as staff fighting with these massively long Thai staves...can't remember the name now. But that was some of the best fun I've ever had next to longsword. With a longsword background, it makes the fun doublefold the way sparring just flows with those long staves. Gaging range is so much trickier, though.
