[Grimm]

I completely agree with Lorelei, except for the things she said about you in the car on the ride home. 
Just kidding and a good meeting Janyn.
YIS,

> Good evening everyone, as DEM for Target Archery in Atlantia, I ran the Target Archery marshal's session. Here are the notes from that session:
> 
> - Thank you to all of our marshals! We had another very successful year with no incidents to report. You are the backbone of Atlantia archery and none of us could do it alone, you are all a very important part of our success and growth!
> 
> - For our teaching marshals, please assure you use the MiT/marshal's sign in sheet for your classes and that all attendees completely fill out the form legibly. There were multiple classes this year where the teaching marshal sent me incomplete sign in data and I could not add those new MiTs into our system because it wont take their info without the complete set of data required. It is not fair to our new MiTs to not be entered into the system because our teaching marshal's are not properly conducting the classes! I don't mind emails with the class data, but assure you capture all of their required data.
> 
> - Reporting to the DEM, please make sure your event reports or quarterly reports contain more than "it was a nice day and we shot archery......" While I thoroughly enjoy hearing this, it does little when I report these items to the Society DEM. Please include all pertinent information and any problems you had or think you might need assistance with.
> 
> - Rules update for this inclusion from Curia, I will be submitting an update to 3.9.3.1.4 "Marshals shall not inspect their own equipment, unless they are the only marshal present." TO 3.9.3.1.4 " Marshals are able to inspect their own equipment but if they are not comfortable with self inspection, have the right to ask another marshal for assistance."
> 
> - We discussed the use of the "crimped" bow strings on bows in Atlantia. The outcome of our discussion was that I will leave the final decision up to the MIC of the event, but I would not like to see them on bows above 30lbs in draw weight. They are perfectly fine on youth or light adult bows but I don't like those strings on a heavier bow. We also discussed PVC bows and I reminded everyone that although I have not disallowed them in Atlantia, I am very cautious of them and also leave the decision right now to our MIC's of the activity. I don't think they belong on our ranges but until I have and issue I can reference, I wont disallow them outright.
> 
> - We conducted a discussion about possible ways of identifying new archers to an event or practice. The intent was not to "Single" them out or embarrass them, but rather make them known to the marshals that they might need additional help or watching while on the range. After discussion about possible "sashes", "tokens" and "badges" we decided to not use any of those on a Kingdom level but rather try this first in a couple of our local groups to see how this works and address it at a later time. Baron Mors and Lord Allen of Wolfhou were willing to try this in their Barony and local groups and a few others also volunteered to try this approach. I will follow up with these groups to see how things are progressing.
> 
> - I will be working with Meister Jonathas, to post our Atlatl rules on the archery site. Again we are in the 1 year trial period for Atlatl to assure our rules and scoring is correctly specified prior to making them permanent.
> 
> - I reminded the group to please make sure they understand and have the rules with them at all times. There were a few shoots this year where netting was used as a backstop and this is not approved as a backstop in our Kingdom by our rules. Even doubling netting is not an effective backstop and is still potentially dangerous. They serve a purpose for missed shots but can not be used to reduce our safety range requirements without approval from the DEM or EDEM prior to a shoot.
> 
> - I asked the group if there was anything they felt I needed to do better or could assist them with? I got very positive comments and I thanked the group again for being such a great group of marshal's and their attention to safety and fun in our discipline.
