[Archers] Saint Sebastian's Prize at Pennsic

[Holly Gibbons]

(1) One small caveat in the midst of such wonderful and wide-ranging discussion. 
The goal of St. Sebastian's Prize is to be as inclusive as possible, given 
inevitable constraints. I think a means to hold numbers in check may be needed, 
but it may not, and so perhaps at this juncture we should turn our attention to 
getting permission for this novelty shoot. Something about cart before the horse 
...! 
 
(2) As for IKAC's we shot them last year at Needwood Forest practices but we all 
got annoyed when Ceridwyn's scores were thrown out because she was deemed too 
"good" to compete as the 11-year old that she was. We haven't shot any this 
year. Personally I am anything but fast and so all those timed rounds just make 
me dizzy. But maybe I will try again next year.
 
(3) For those of you who have voiced unhappiness with one or another aspects of 
Pennsic Archery, such as the populace targets . . . those good and gentle 
archers who are painting all those target faces and planning the shoots might 
like to hear constructive suggestions accompanied by offers of help and support. 
We all go to war, we do little but marshall, and yet we on this list complain 
loudly and publically. It does not sit well.
