*use the back door at the church. It is under a Montessori sign*Join the members of our community as we gather weekly to hit each other with weapons, and to work on our projects. Whether you’re new, ancient, working on a masterpiece, or just looking to hang out, we invite you to come share in our fun.
Garb is encouraged, but optional.
Group gear is available for those wishing to participate in heavy and fencing combat, so don’t let your lack of fight-kit keep you away! Your own groin protection, though, is necessary for full-on fighting. If you do not have groin protection, drills and slow-work is still possible.
Often, drinks/snacks/hang-out after practice may occur, though such plans are spontaneously formalised and never guaranteed.
Fees:
First month free.
$5 nightly
$90 April 2025 – August 2025
$160 April 2025 -March 2026
FREE – Youth (0-17 years)
Although the SCA complies with all applicable laws to try to ensure the health and safety of our event participants, we cannot eliminate the risk of exposure to infectious diseases during in-person events.
By participating in the in-person events of the SCA, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks. You agree to take any additional steps to protect your own health and safety and those under your control as you believe to be necessary. - Archery Practice
Currently on most Thursdays (7pm) and Sundays (1pm).
Weather permitting, shooting will be held at a private site north of Saskatoon until it gets too dark. Please contact our Missile Deputy for location.
Bring water! Sunscreen and bug spray recommended! Ticks abound!
There are no washrooms on site.
Please let us know in chat if you need a ride. This is a volunteer service we provide, so it may not always be available. The more notice you give the better! Also let us know if we need to bring out group gear as it is still stored at our indoor site. Contact the Missile Deputy via email or reach out through the official Facebook page.
For foul weather and winter months, indoor shooting occurs at Bowbusters Range in Vanscoy SK. Bowbusters has an annual membership fee, though non-members can shoot as guests 2 times as per Sask Archery insurance rules. Please see membership information at the bottom of this post.
Donations to the archery equipment fund are appreciated.
Please make sure to watch our Facebook page for announcements regarding last minute changes.

Announcements:
- Summer Practice Disruption
Due to a scheduling conflict with our usual location, we will not have access to Emmanuel Baptist Church on Wednesday, July 16th or Wednesday, August 13th. Outdoor locations may be utilised for these dates and will be announced when determined.
- Between a Rock and a Far Place
All scoundrels of the Known World beware, as Myrgan Wood’s 2024-2025 Fencing and Thrown Weapon Champions step down for a well deserved break, they are not leaving the barony unprotected.
Should you come to cause trouble, Lord Basil the Husband will run you through with his superior fencing skills (and his bardic wife will weave songs of how well you failed).
And should you try to not “meet husband” by starting your mischief from afar, you risk being target practice for Tonegawa-dono no Keiran. (Her Magpie-at-Arms is more skilled at mischief, too, so…like, don’t bother.)
Good populace of the barony, please continue in your arts, crafts and training in the peace of mind that your elders Lord Skeld the Peacemaker and Ranger Houjou Ayame delivered. Sure and steady hands have picked up the weapons put down, and Myrgan Wood remains safe from threats at all ranges.
- Ranger Danger!
A joyous noise to Myrgan Wood’s Houjou Ayame, who was elevated at Avacal 10 Year to the newest peerage — The Order of the Mark. As a premiere member of this Order, Ranger Houjou Ayame will help lead Avacal’s thrown weapon community to greater distances and triumphs.
Ranger Houjou Ayame started here, and continues to contribute to our barony’s thrown weapon prowess.
