[Archers] Pennsic shoot

[Greg Christensen]

So, is this a one day shoot or will it be held for a few days?  I would also suggest since this is for the populace and not an elite shoot such as the Champions teams, then anyone on the Champions team or possibly trying out for Champions teams should not be allowed to win this shoot.  This way the regular archer has a better chance of winning, because if the kingdoms put together a team to win they want to use their top archers which are on the Champions team and that means that the general archers will be discourage to shoot since they know they can't win since a Champions team will beat them all.  The Champions have their own shoot, so let them just shoot, but not score, and this would prove this is not an elitists shoot.  Also if the shoot is limited to a set number of types of bows in the group, it makes it seem that it is still elitists shoot, there are some small groups that like to shoot together, but no one has a period bow or cross bow in the group so they are left out or they have to get an outsider to shoot with.  Also our specific definition of a period bow would not hold with people of the known world.  There will be numerous people argue that there bow is period and not meet Atlantian's definition.  Basically make the rules very basic and exclude the Champions teams.  This is my 2 cents oh well more like 50 cents.GREGGE the ARCHERDate: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 10:19:36 -0500From: Jonathas at redfoxden.orgTo: archers at seahorse.atlantia.sca.orgSubject: Re: [Archers] Pennsic shootI believe what Cog was suggesting was have many teams on the line at once, but only one team shooting at each target at a time.  For example if the line holds 18 archers, there would be 6 teams on the line, team 1 shoots at target 1, team 2 shoots at target 2, etc.  once all complete that target everyone scores and retrieves.  For the next end team 1 shoots at target 2, team 2 shoots at target 3, with a new team shooting at target 1.  Rinse and repeat until all the teams have shot all the targets.  
If the only choice is to run the shoot on one of the gated ranges, it would work, but I think it would be much nicer and more fun if we could set it up as a woods walk like the Masters is.Jonathas
