[Archers] Lochmere Arrow Guidelines

[Jay Nardone]

I tend to agree, I don't think there should be a set number of stations that
creators need to follow. I think the intent was to keep the size of the
shoot about the same but that should be left to the creators to decide.
Let's keep this moving so we can get some consensus on the basics to use
going forward.

One interesting side topic here:

>         dozens of teams in the competition.

First of all, I'm not sure if we really need to 'define' a set number of
stations in the 'traditions/guidelines' or not.   IE, people will design
what they will design.

*shrug*

Though at the same time, this brings up an interesting point about how the
nature of the shoot has changed over time.

It started as just a Royal Round.
  ...
Later, it had become a shoot that always happened in addition to other
shooting that day.  So you'd have an events normal shooting "Oh and yes, the
Lochmere Arrow".
  ...
To that end, for many years it was usually designed as a '3 station'
shoot, to be quick-n-simple.  Though not always.  I remember one run in
Roxbury that was all day, and included a rather long wood's walk with some
pretty awesome teamwork based shooting strategy.
