[Archers] (no subject)

[Holly Gibbons]

If I may, as an archer who shot at HRM's, point out that it is hard for me to 
believe that just because the TA MIC wasn't at the planning meetings, archery 
got stuffed into a way small, potentially unsafe, and just barely workable 
corner. I scratch my head because the Baron of HF is indeed a TA Marshall, 
no?And had visited the site? And was at the meetings? So, dearest archers . . . 
I wish to see this thread end, really, because I am conflict avoidant in the 
extreme. But if the HRM planning meetings were all attended by an Atlantian TA 
Marshall, why did the range get so screwed just because the designated MIC was 
not in attendance? Just a needling question. (And from one who has already beat 
the horse that any MIC should be onsite ahead of time, etc. etc.)

At every shoot, at every meeting, if we are marshalls, safety should always be 
the collective responsibility of all, in addition to the MIC's. Several shoots 
in the past there have been unsafe situations and I was just another 
archer there and did not notice to flag anything and kicked myself later. 
Nowadays, I try to be one more set of critical eyes, in addition to an archer 
having her fun.

So let's get back to our game. Fall is coming fast and there are targets to make 
and Lochmere Arrows to win and novices to teach ...
