Come ye faithful Archers of Bergental! Prepare yourself for the Great War and Tourney. Grip your weapon and release arrow or bolt downrange. The Known world has grown to fear the Archers of Bergental, and it is through practice and outstanding performance that we have won renown.

Bergental now has a range in Montgomery, MA that has room for long shooting, including, dare I suggest, a clout! This page will be evolving soon to show some photo's of the new range, and the layout of targets. We now have the room to set up the targets in a staggered fashion for Royal Rounds, allowing gentles to shoot at the distance of their choice.

Practice times may vary due to the availability of a Marshall, but we are trying to hold to 4:30PM on Wednesday. In any event, check the Bergental Calendar for details, day and time will be posted on the Bergental mailing List routinely. Shooting will, alas, only happen in favorable weather conditions. The Barony has recently replaced our aging Saunders Mats, and every effort to have target faces on hand has been made.
