[Archers] Pennsic

[Holly Gibbons]

Dear Archer-co-conspirators:

I am willing to work for this. I will bring targets, do the advertizing at 
Pennsic and ahead of time, whatever needs doing now or later. But honestly, the 
person heading this up (or persons) need to be able to communicate at the 
highest level with Royalty and others. Who can do that? DEM Lorelei? 
Yew-bow-people? Barons and Baronesses? Countesses?

Who is running archery for the Mid this year? Do we go directly from our 
Fearless Leader DEM Lorelei to the Mid-Pennsic-Panda DEM or does our Royalty go 
to Mid-Royalty? I haven't got a clue about this stuff.

But truly, the first actual steps are going to be political, once we all decide 
exactly what it is we are proposing to do. So let us continue this dialog to lay 
out precisely what we want to happen. Do we have agreement that our goal is 
a "novelty" shoot at Pennsic, sponsored by Atlantian Archers or sponsored by 
Atlantian Royalty (this is probably better), to take place on a weekday during 
war week (preferably tues or wed), in which we take over the entire range 
(hopefully), set up targets early in the a.m., have a great shoot, collect 
scores by individual and by kingdom, and award wonderful prizes and bragging 
rights at the end? Is this shoot open to all, or only to a certain level of 
archer, or to a certain number of archers per kingdom (like mayvbe 25 archers)? 
Is there a theme or is it just bring one target each from your stash? Who among 
us exactly is willing to sacrifice some trailer space for exactly what targets? 
Can we make this happen on the "back 40" land (and maybe in the woods) if we are 
not allowed to use the war points range? Can we have this novelty shoot and 
still have enough marshalls to run war points? (I would rather see war points 
NOT shot that day.) Will this shoot draw archers away from the champs team and 
the war points shooting? And how can we get around this and assure the 
Easterners and Midders who care about winning their war that this won't happen?

So many questions.
Let's draw up the vision and flesh it out, as archers, while the political types 
figure out how to make this happen.
