"passionate" about their position or just having a "bad day" they lost sense
of reality and ended up berating the MIC and other MiT's and archers who
were in range of the shouting on the range. This makes me think of two
points here: A.) If anyone (archers, marshals, etc...) has an issue with
the shoot design you have two simple choices. Dont shoot, go do something
else or deal with it and shoot. We are all out there (or should be) for one
reason, FUN! Yes many of us are competitive, hey you wont find someone else
more competitive than me, but I would never ruin someone's or a group's fun
over something so silly as my score unless I found blatant cheating or cause
that effected my score, which was not the case here. I know some archers
don't like the introduction of "chance" into a shoot design, but I know many
of us welcome it and actually think it is a refreshing break to the outcome.
It is the very reason

and invite us all to participate in your shoot! I like the diversity of
shoots we have in our Kingdom and the creativity of our archers and marshals
and applaud them all. Now enough of the silliness, lets focus on positive
energy and go have some fun! In Service, Janyn
