All heavy fighters\, fencers\, archers\, and thrown weapons enthusiasts\, should be warming up for the tournaments. The Iron Comet Challenge has independent tournaments for heavy fighting\, fencing\, archery\, thrown weapons\, and Arts and Sciences for adults. For youth there will be archery\, thrown weapons\, and Arts and Sciences. There will also be an A&S display for those who prefer to just display rather than compete. There will also be lawn games to fill the time. In addition\, there is the combined Iron Comet Challenge: \nHere are words from Laerifadir Jorundr hinn Rotinn who ran the first Iron Comet 15 years ago: We challenge all martial participants to show how well you do in the disciplines of Heavy Combat\, Fencing\, Archery\, Thrown Weapons\, and Arts and Sciences. All entrants in the Iron Comet Challenge must participate in at least three martial forms and provide an entry for the arts and sciences competition.\nIf you participate in all four martial competitions you get to drop your lowest score for your final ranking. This competition for fun and glory shows just how multi talented our members are. \nThe icon skillet dessert competition is being organized by Lady Arthes MacLeod. Details will be coming soon.
