[Archers] Youth Target Archery Marshal Program

[John Atkins]

Carrying on with this idea, how about a baldrick?  It is something that
is easy to put on and take off and is visible from all sides, i.e. front
and back.  If it were black with yellow edging it would follow the
pattern of all marshal tabards.  On the front we could put a single
yellow arrow, perhaps point up.  Youth could wear the same and I should
think it obvious that they were a youth marshal instead of an adult
marshal.  If people had "rank" within the archery marshal community,
knights marshal, regional marshal, DEM they could have bars horizontal
to the arrow shaft indicating their "rank", i.e. 1 for knights marshal,
2 for regional, 3 for DEM.  On the other hand this could be carrying the
whole idea way too far!
 
Others may no or recall more of this but it seems to me that the archery
community tried to get crossed arrows for marshals passed before but
there was some "issue" about it either from the marshal (heavy)
community or the heralds.
 
Now, to pour gas on the fire, do we really need to pass our
distinguishing item, baldric, favor, tabard, by the heralds as official?
Seems to me everyone in the SCA is conditioned to accept that anyone
wearing a baldric or tabard that is black with yellow trim is a marshal.
Unless, I guess, they happend to also be from Ansteora!

Lord Jean,

An excellent idea. It should be something large enough to be visible to
all. At some events I have worked, we were given tokens about the size
of a quarter that attached by a string. They were about the same size as
a typical entry token. I lost mine within the first few minutes.

What we should have is something like a cloth belt favor. We have
something like this in Isenfir for general use (not for marshals). It is
a loop of yellow cloth, about the size of a typical headband, with the
shire's arms embroidered upon it. It is large enough to be visible (and
hard to miss with that yellow!), yet small enough not to get in the way
when looped around a belt.

We could have one a general design for a warranted marshal, with perhaps
some additional symbols (like a bar or cresset) or color differences for
a MITs and YMITs.

Kind regards,


Lord Mungo Napier, Shire of Isenfir TA Marshal

Is there a badge even for the adult Marshal if not should we make some
up so we know who might be a target archery marshal....just food for
