If you would like to apply send your archery resume and information to me and I will compile all applications and work them with our KEM and the Crown.

This is in reference to incidents that occur at events and are not properly reported up the chain. If something happens, you need to assure that the MIC, the DEM (if present) and any other officer in the marshallette are informed. If you do not, you run the risk of loosing your warrant. We did have an incident this year where the I as the DEM, the KEM were on site and were not made aware of an incident, the incident was made aware to a few Counts and I had to field their questions when I got home, I really had no idea what they were talking about because the MIC did not inform me about the issue when it happened that day. Please also assure that your reports are as inclusive as possible, include any equipment failures, safety issues, problems, etc....

Sir Otto had a great idea that maybe we can break it up to a day each so no one marshal will have to run it all 3 or 4 days. So please think about helping out and signing up for a day as MIC.

Baron Mors mentioned that shoot designers need to also assure that they are making shoots that are fair to all and that scoring is not crazy so one target will allow an archer to walk away with the shoot. An example is to use the 3,2,1 or 1,3,5 for each station, that way scoring stays close no matter who is shooting and the chance doesn't exist to allow an archer to gain 60 points on one target. Master Jonathas also mentioned the same information and backed the idea to allow scoring for backers and let the newer archers gain scores during the day.
