Attention

For those who will be bringing children not their own: There are TWO forms that you will need to bring for each child. They both need to be signed by the child's parent or legal guardian. ONE MUST BE NOTARIZED per Indiana law.

1) This form needs the notarization and should be kept with the child at all times: http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/treatminor-notary.pdf

2) This form is the usual Minor Waiver: http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/chldwaiv.pdf.

PLEASE have both these forms filled out and signed/notarized where appropriate for each child you will be bringing that you are not the parent or legal guardian of. This requirement is out of our control and the children affected will not be allowed to attend if they are not completed properly before arrival. Thank you.

All classes will be held on the Combat Archery range


CA MIT class - Combat Archery Ammunition Inspection -- Tubular Ammo
CA MIT class - Combat Archery Ammunition Inspection -- Fiberglass Ammo

Instructor: Sarah of the Erie Sea, DEM CA

These are separate 90 minute classes; please be on time.

This class teaches you how to inspect this type of ammunition in preparation for becoming a Combat Archery Marshal. You will learn about basic construction, what good ammo should look/feel like, and about common problems to look for.

There will be a hands-on test at the end of class to make sure you know your stuff! You will get a sign-off for your MIT class only if you do well on the test, so please prepare ahead of time.

Please know the construction/inspection parts of the CA Handbook and its appendices. If you'd like pictures, go to the construction section of the 35-foot spear website. Check out the Quick Inspection Guide for this type of ammo. Make sure it is the August 2019 version! There should be links on the CA Page of the Midrealm website (midrealm.org).

(If you're not very familiar with this type of ammo, see if you can find a Combat Archer to show you their stuff.)

NOTE- There were some changes to the Handbook. They are:

  1. Tape on the head does not have to be red anymore. It needs to contrast with the head and shaft, and cannot be yellow. Crossover tape on Fiberglass ammo cannot be black, white, or yellow (regular strapping tape is ok). Tape on the head of tubular ammo cannot be black or yellow (but the tape around the shaft can be anything as long as it is less than 10%yellow).
  2. Fiberglass ammo does not need the wrap around the point of the APD.
  3. Sil-o-flex equivalent tubing must be PE3408, PE3608, PE3710, PE4710. It must be 100psi or 125 psi.



CA MIT class - Combat Archery Admin (Paperwork/Auths/Field)

Instructor: Sarah of the Erie Sea, DEM CA

This is a 90 minute class; please be on time!

This class goes through the paperwork you need to know as a CA Marshal and how to run CA Authorizations (including authorization paperwork). We will also discuss requirements and concerns for marshaling the field when there is CA (and Siege) in use.

There will be a quiz and a walk-through at the end of class to make sure you know your stuff! You will get a sign-off for your MIT class only if you do well on the information, so please prepare ahead of time.

Please know the marshaling parts of the CA Handbook and its appendices. There should be links on the CA Page of the Midrealm website (midrealm.org). Also, check out the marshal section of the Armored Combat Handbook for the melee-related info. See what applies to CA!
