Things to do in the Barony of Sentinels’ Keep


Combat

In the Society, we love to kill our friends—not hurt them! There are many ways you can experience the thrill of battle, whether young or old.

Armored Combat

Heavy combat is an option that involves weapons of rattan, full suits of armor, and hitting really hard. While not for the weak of heart, this form of combat is how crowns are won. Heavy fighting is open to anyone ages 16 and up (with parental permission for minors).

Rapier Combat

We also have rapier, which is similar to fencing (but more fun). This form of combat employs metal blade with rubber blunts (no sharp edges). Rapier is open to anyone ages 14 and up (with parental permission for minors).

Combined weapons practices are held nearly every weekend, usually on Sundays, somewhere within the Barony. Regional fighter practices are held on a monthly basis during the winter, and there are regular fighter practices every weekend in Missoula. Locations change with the season, and availability, so please check back often as more information becomes available.

Current practice locations and dates can be found on our Facebook group, or by contacting the appropriate Marshal. 

Archery

Whether you are a fan of longbows, recurve bows or crossbows come and join the Barony of Sentinels' Keep for some archery practice.  Then take your skills to the battlefield and try your hand at combat archery.

Arts & Sciences


The SCA time period is between the fall of the Western Roman Empire – 476 to the end of the Tudors – 1603, and the area centers mostly on Eurasia (including the British Isles) and lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

The Minister of Arts and Sciences (MoAS) of the Barony of Sentinels’ Keep (BSK) helps foster the study of The Middle Ages and the research and methods for producing historically based clothing, artifacts, and performances. The Arts and Sciences (A&S) is the study of how everything people needed to live, work, and play during that time was grown, created, or performed.

As with all the other aspects of the SCA, we learn by doing and by sharing.

For more information about ongoing Arts & Sciences in the Barony, contact the Minister of Arts & Sciences.
