[Archers] Pennsic shoot

[Jonathas]

I had thought of averaging the scores as well.  But then I put on my "new"
shooter hat and asked "Well what can I do to help my kingdom win?" the quick
easy answer is "don't shoot competitively, just shoot it for fun".  By doing
that you leave only the best shooters from the best teams adding to the
average rather then pulling it down.  My 2 cents, keep it like Lochmere
Arrow with each team independently representing the whole Kingdom.  Everyone
still has fun shooting.

As for ranges.  Don't forget that the Main Archery field is supposed to be
moving over to where the Oversize Parking was, near B-9.  What I was
wondering was could we still use the traditional location for the woods
portion of the Masters shoot for this shoot as well, give more "fun" terrain
to play with?
