[Archers] St. Sebastians III?????

[Jessica Mulligan]

It would be nice to get other kingdom's marshals to step up, but when you ask a group of people for volunteers everyone seems to expect that someone else will step forward.  You almost need to call people out individually.  Like, if someone knows a marshal from another kingdom, ask that marshal to participate and to bring at least one friend, and to ask their marshal friends to get their marshal friends to volunteer.  It's harder for people to say no if they don't have a good excuse when they're asked personally.
 
As for Terasu and myself, if we are at Pennsic we will help, but we have yet to make it to Pennsic.  We're hoping this coming year will be our first.

I'm not trying to piss on anyone's fire here, but it seems to me and my experience that getting the other Kingdom marshals to actually sign up and marshal is worse than herding cats!  Yes I agree that other kingdom marshals need to be involved, but as past experience suggests, easier said than done. As I am not a quitter (and I know there was a huge push for additional help last year) I would never suggesting we stop asking (and cookies/arm sashes may work), but a contingency plan to include more Atlantian marshals and/or MIT's should also be in pursued....

I some cases marshaling two lines can be annoying to the shooters. Last Pennsic I had to call hold while running two lines, and both lines stopped. Im glad they all listened but which line was I talking to? Minor I know....

Also, reducing the targets would eliminate some of the problems with overlapping safety areas.  So far, we've had no big safety problems, but having targets operating with no Marshals and over lapping safety areas, we are asking for trouble.

>>I marshalled one of the targets last Pennsic and when I left the range in the early afternoon, there was no one scheduled to take my place.  I was assured that there would be someone coming, but don't know if anyone ever did.  During the hours that I was at my post, I did not see a marshal at the target to my right.  Archers seemed to be simply coming to the area, reading the directions and shooting.  The distance from my target to the other was too far for me to actually check to see if they needed a marshal's help, so the possiblity of my marshalling two areas was not an option.

>>I know that many Marshals were at the range for the entire day, which is dedication above and beyond!  We need to be able to put on a fun and safe shoot.  Providing adequate Marshals is part of that.  Perhaps we do need to actively recruit volunteers from other Kingdoms and aas Mungo suggested, reduce the number of targets to one we can adequately manage.
