<DIV>
<DIV>Greetings to you all! I have been thinking about an issue for some
time now and thought I'd pose it to the list for discussion and possible
enlightenment.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I noticed at a few events that when it was time to inspect the bows, some
people said, "oh I'm a marshal I can inspect that for you." and the person
handed them the bow. The marshal was not necessarily affiliated with the
event. Not that I don't believe they are a marshal and it is nice that
they offered to help, BUT, for the sake of "quality control" shouldn't they be
letting the event marshals handle that?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm trying to think ahead to the events I'm doing in the future. I'd
much rather have a designated bow inspector than someone coming up to me saying,
"oh so and so already inspected my bow". I like the fact that we are a
casual and tight knit group of archers and I love the fact that there are so
many willing hands, but I also like things to be a little more organized when it
comes to safety issues. I know at the larger events archers need stickers
so it isn't as much of an issue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When it comes right down to it, I'm concerned about covering my ass.
If some marshal I am not familiar with does a shoddy inspections and the
equipment fails and someone gets hurt and I'm the marshal in charge...it is my
responsibility.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I didn't see anything in our written works about this issue but I may have
overlooked something. If anyone knows, please forward the information.
Otherwise, I'm happy to hear other's input on this. Thank you!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Respectfully,</DIV>
<DIV>Lady Lorelei Greenleaf</DIV></DIV></DIV>
