[Archers] Request input on bow inspection at events.

[LoreleiElkins at aol.com]

:-)  Thank you all for your input.  I'm aware of these  rules and they seem 
clear to me as well.  I was speaking more to the  seemingly common practice of 
just letting whoever happens to be a  marshal (which is a heck of a lot of us 
archers) inspect the bows without  being  "the marshal in charge or their 
designee".
 
There's what's written in the rules and then there is common  practice.  
Similar to the practice in-putting more than three Royal  Round score for an 
archer for a day on the Kingdom list. It doesn't really  matter in the big picture, 
but in the rules it does just say three. Just  interested in everyone's take 
on it.

3.9.3.1 Equipment Inspection 
3.9.3.1.1 At all SCA activities, bows & ammo must be inspected  by the 
marshal in charge or their designee before being used. 
3.9.3.1.2 Hand bows should be brought to the marshal unstrung.  Crossbows can 
be left strung.  
3.9.3.1.3 At an event with 20 or more archers, stickers  shall be used to 
mark bows that have been inspected. 
3.9.3.1.4 Marshals shall not inspect their own  equipment, unless they are 
the only marshal present. 
This looks plain to me, but I have been hit upside the head a few  times.
