On Target Online

In 1995, Giovanni dell'Arco decided to put together a quarterly archery magazine produced by the archers of An Tir for the archers of An Tir. The goal of On Target was to bring the An Tir archery community together through words and pictures; to unite the archers across the great expanse of our Kingdom through education and entertainment.

On Target's first issue debuted at An Tir's Twelfth Night Coronation, 1996, A.S. XXX, and all 75 copies of the 12-page magazine were sold that first afternoon. A second issue was published before On Target was put on hold for time and financial constraints.

On 4 December 1996, Giovanni dell'Arco finally put On Target on the Web, hoping to fulfill the magazine's goal more effectively than it could have done in print.

Although Giovanni dell'Arco wrote some of the articles, On Target's foundation is article submissions. The call was put out and An Tir's archers responded by getting involved and by moving us with their poetry, dazzling us with their artwork, asking questions and educating us with trivia and tips that will help us become better archers in the Society. They proved that On Target is not just a magazine, it is our magazine.

On Target Online was the official An Tir Royal Archer Web site under Eric de Dragonslaire (1997-1999) and the official Keeper of the InterKingdom Archery Competition (IKAC) Web site during Giovanni dell'Arco's tenure (1998-2001). On Target Online, now hosted by Aleksei Zateev, is again the official An Tir Royal Archer Web site under Loegaire (Loric) mac Lochlainn.
