[Archers] Youth Target Archery Marshal Program

[Peter G]

At Pennsic the marshalls work a blue (I think) baldric with a white arrow while 
the marshall in charge of the entire range that time slot wore one with a gold 
arrow. MiTs didn't wear a balderic, but were always near another marshall. 
Suggestion only to not re-invent the wheel, although mimicing the other weapons 
forms is also worthwhile.

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!
