[Archers] Pennsic shoot

[John Atkins]

I think this is a great idea.  It does mean that this shoot will have to
be scheduled AFTER the Master's Team selection is made which would
typically put it in the second week.

How I *LIKE* that idea!  Any who shoot the Champions/Masters shoot may
shoot for fun, but may not be on any team competing to win (Sorry you
all already had a fun shoot!).

What is the general consensis on the bow requirement?

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.

I 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.
