WHERE
The home of Honorable Lord Mikael, 320 North Avenue, Secane PA 19018. (However, depending on the app being used, the address may be shown in Upper Darby, Clifton Heights, Morton or Springfield. Also, traveling down North Avenue from Baltimore Pike, the house numbers suddenly drop from the 1000s to the 300s.) There is plenty of free, on-site parking behind the house, just follow the driveway around.
FOOTWEAR
Although not required, closed toe shoes are strongly recommended.
LOANER EQUIPMENT
Plenty of loaner equipment will be available. I ask that if you borrow axes with wooden handles that if you stick an axe in the target, that you do not throw any more weapons until the axe has been removed. If you do so and irreparably damage a handle, I will ask you to pay to replace the handle. (I will not charge for a broken handle on a throw at an empty target. When that happens, it’s usually the handle’s fault. But since hitting one axe with another is an avoidable situation, that is when I ask for compensation.) Of course, what you do with your own equipment is your decision.
UPDATES & CANCELLATIONS
As life and weather are always happening, be sure to check our Calendar and / or Facebook page for activity updates (for purpose, date, time or location changes) and cancellations.
Thrown Weapons
Maybe you just like throwing sharp, shiny objects? Thrown weapons are tomahawks, knives, spears, spikes, darts, and plenty of other items. The unique aspect of thrown weapons is that every weapon is unique; there are no set standards for size, shape, weight, etc.
Thrown weapons is an excellent adult sport for a broad range of people regardless of age or physical condition. It does not require any authorization to participate: you show up at a range, read the rules and have fun.
You can find opportunities at many Society events to try throwing common medieval weapons in a safe, monitored environment.
