[Archers] I'd like to point out.....

[Garth G. Groff]

  Lady Kaytarzyna,

Are you suggesting that at a tournament we marshals, as participating 
archers, should refuse to shoot? Absolutely! But even more than that, 
the marshal-in-charge MUST refuse to set up and open a range on a space 
that does not meet kingdom safety standards. Period. Not to do so would 
endanger the MIC's warrant, and in case of an accident, would open the 
Kingdom (not to mention the MIC) up to all sorts of Society sanctions 
and possible legal troubles.

Closing the range would undoubtedly cause a lot of hard feelings, a 
blizzard of emails, probably not be taken seriously by the powers that 
be (outside of the archery community), and possibly cause archery to be 
excluded at that event in the future, but it is the only possible course 
of action.

Kind regards,


Lord Mungo Napier, Shire of Isenfir Target Archery Marshal
