Honoring a Legacy of Marksmanship

Welcome to the official clearinghouse of Saint Sebastian's Archery Guild. Rooted in the rich lineage of historic target shooting, field archery, and traditional woodcraft, our guild brings together historical re-enactors, historical weapons researchers, and traditional archers dedicated to the preservation of manual ballistic arts.

We model our layout, livery, and focus around historical target frames, celebrating traditional gear from the clean lines of English self-wood longbows to historical livery crests. Whether you are crafting heavy bodkin points over an active hearth forge or seeking to stitch historic cresting onto coarse heavy wool canvas, you will find active fellowship here.
