Drat!  No more machen mit der sticken flingen, und machen mit der sticken
fetchin?? :(

Actually, I do make sure the main calls, like Clear Down Range, Archers to
the Line, Bows

Down, Hold, etc... are very clear, and Loose and Hold with RR's, but the
variants on

let em fly and go get em, I do tend to be a bit lax on.... not when teaching
though :)

(I see lots of variants of 'lay on' on the fighting fields, too)

Guess it's time to formalize :)

Baron Colum, point well taken and this should be a notice to us all as
marshals that we need to "practice what we teach!" We are all out there to
have fun but we should be running our practices just like formal events from
a safety and procedure perspective. Some of our practices have large enough
numbers to really be a mini event so in these cases I would hope the MIC is
conducting full inspections and using stickers, etc if the numbers are over
our rule limit.

Was not a finger pointing, just something I noticed and I would like us all
to take a minute to set the example for our new marshals and marshals in
training. If we get rid of the bad habits up front it is much more
productive for us all.

Thanks to you all for what you do!

In service,

Janyn

 I know that I go over the commands in class, but that doesn't mean an MIT
of mine might be guilty of not using standard commands.  I have noticed that
at practices where we have the usual crowd and know everyone we
"experienced" marshals will not always use the standard commands.  I can
easily see an MIT picking up on this and, under the auspices of "How you
practice is how you perform", not using proper terminology.   If all
marshals make an effort to ensure standard commands are used, we may see the
MIT's following our example rather than our classroom instructions.  I know
I will.

In service

Colum

Good afternoon everyone, I wanted to get the word out to all of our teaching
marshals. I have noticed this year that on a few occasions now MiT's I have
personally watched have not been properly executing in how to properly call
the line, handle archers on the line or potential hazard avoidance. I am not
finger pointing at our teaching marshals in any way but I want to stress to
each of you the importance of making sure those MiT's understand their
responsibilities and how to properly use the standard set of line calls;
"archers to the line", "Archers ready?", "loose, hold" etc.... 

I have seen MiTs using go, stop, okay, alright, etc and it confuses everyone
on the line. Also the safety check "CLEAR DOWN RANGE?" is just that. It is a
shout down range to potential safety issues, not just for the people on the
line. The new marshals need to assure they are projecting downrange as well
in case there is anyone down there... 

Please in your classes make sure you stress the safety aspects and the
proper way to do things. I know they are learning and we were all new at
some point, hell Im still a newbie, or so Im told :P 

It is our job to assure they learn properly. 

In Service, 

Janyn
