[Archers] Championship - Backdrop loans?

[Siegfried Sebastian Faust]

Greetings unto the archery marshals of Atlantia ...

I have a boon to ask of you.

With the championship coming up this weekend, I have gotten a sudden 
'desire' to have a few more backdrops than I currently have access to.

If you have one of the good quality archery nets, or other type of 
backdrops, and could possibly bring it along with you on Saturday, please 
contact me privately to discuss it.

For the record, I am not in 'need' of any additional backdrops from a 
safety point of view.  I simply wouldn't mind a few extra ones, to be nicer 
to the archers on some of the shoots in finding their arrows.

I do, however, request that this not be the 'light-weight' white colored 
nets.  Only the green nets, the HEAVY white nets, or other backdrop systems 
you may have devised.  Why?  Because the light white nets have been known 
to be less safe than no net, as some high powered bows (especially 
crossbows) will put arrows right through those nets, and something about 
the design of the nets cause the arrow to take a 45 degree angle turn 
upwards, and lose very little energy.  Sending them flying away into the 
distance.

So, if you think you can lend a hand (or should that be, a net), let me 
know.  Thanks.

Siegfried
  -- Looking forward to handing over the Champions badge to someone else on 
Saturday
