I arrived home from Lilies War<\/a> last night. Lilies war is a week long event hosted by the Kingdom of Calontir<\/a>. There is heavy weapons fighting, cut and thrust, archery, and thrown weapons, and that’s just the marshaled activities!\u00a0 For the second year, the Bee Sisters organized a shoot off the Viking ship replica, the Fyrdraca<\/a>. This replica is over 30 years old and has graced Smithville Lake with her presence at many a Lilies.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the Fyrdraca was first used as a platform for archers shooting at a target on the shore. The shoot was a fund-raiser for the Calontir Archery Fund and for the upkeep of the Fyrdraca.\u00a0 It was such a popular event that the organizers planned a second shoot in 2015.\u00a0 Having shot in the first group to engage in this activity in 2014, I can attest to the fun we had. It took some time to wipe the smiles and grins off our faces after this activity. I posted a small number of pictures from this year’s shoot below.\u00a0 The full complement of photos is in a Flickr album<\/a> along with a few other photos.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
