Lord Jonathas,

No knock on your idea, or your ringtones, but I don't own a cell phone 
(SHOCK!) or wear a watch. For timed rounds I keep a simple kitchen timer 
in my gear bag. It can easily be set for 30 seconds.  This little guy 
came in really handy at Sapphire this year when the line marshal didn't 
have a watch. Mine come from Dollar Tree, and cost . . . yes, obvious, 
isn't it . . . $1. Since the whole timer is cheaper than replacement 
batteries, I bought a fist-full last time I found them in stock.

Kind regards,


Mungo Napier, Shire of Isenfir Archery Marshal
