here are notes about what was discussed in that meeting.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=203303513-07122007><FONT face=Arial size=2>First an
introduction. I am HL Christophe of Grey who has assumed the position of
Deputy Earl Marshal for Target Archery Atlantia from Siegfried after his
gracious and productive term in this office. He has moved on to become the
DEM for combat archery. Allen of Wolfhou has graciously conceded to stay
on as my deputy. Please feel free to contact me regarding all things
archery at my email address <A
href="mailto:cogworks@triad.rr.com">cogworks@triad.rr.com</A> or through
the Atlantian archery pages.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=203303513-07122007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Atlatl - All
Atlantian Target Archery marshals are, by default, atlatl marshals.
We reviewed and discussed the proposed rules for atlatl activity in
Atlantia. These proposed rules will be posted to the Atlantian archery web
site in the very near future. I welcome any and all comments regarding
these rules. The bottom line is target archery marshals should become
familiar with this weapon form. However, whether or not this activity
occurs at an event is completely at the descretion of the MIC for target
archery. If you are not comfortable with the activity it does not
happen. If you are comfortable it can happen. The archery database
now has a section for recording atlatl scores.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=203303513-07122007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Seasonal Challenge -
The seasonal challenges will last for one quarter. I will design the first
one to begin in January of 2008. Allen of Wolfhou, my deputy, will design
the second quarter 2008 shoot. From that point on the regional marshals
will design the shoots on a rotating basis. That is, the SC marshal will
not be designing the seasonal shoot for the fourth quarter of each year.
The reason for this is to permit more participation in seasonal shoot designs
and to encourage participation in the seasonal shoots and archery in
general. There was a discussion of considering when and where the shoot
will/could occur. i.e. if designing a shoot for winter months please
consider that Atlantian archers living in the north of the kingdom shoot indoors
and would most likely not be able to do a shoot requiring a 40 yard
distance.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=203303513-07122007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Marshal scoring -
For me this has been a topic of discussion for some time and I harranged
Siegfried about it for a while. This is not in the official Atlantian
archery rules and never will be. It is simply a request. As marshals
and in this society we are honor bound. Therefore I ask that a marshal's
scores be witnessed by another marshal shooting on that same day. That is,
if a a marshal is shooting a Royal Round they allow another marshal also
shooting on that day to count or witness their score. The MIC can still be
the one recording the score and entering it into the Atlantian Royal Round
db. If no other marshal is in attendance, then it is prefered that two
other non-marshal archers participating in the shoot verify the marshal's
score. My attempt here is to avoid having a marshal shoot on their home
range by themselfs and get remarkable scores. Again, I stress this is not
official, it is merely a request to keep all Atlantian archery marshals above
reproach.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=203303513-07122007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regional Marshals -
Any current Regional Marshal who would like to step down, pleasse contact me and
please have some suggested replacements in mind. I would also ask regional
marshals to inform me of any archer in their area who is due an archery
badge. The list I get of badges due is often out of date and the badges
are important to many archers. Keep in mind that as the qualification rank
increases the badges need to be awarded by higher level royalty, i.e.
barons/baroness, king/queen.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=203303513-07122007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Reports - It is very
important that any archery marshal acting as MIC at an event submit an event
report to me and their Regional Marshal. Regional marshals need to submit
quarterly reports of archery activity in their areas. Archery marshals who
may be the head marshal for their group, i.e. baronial archery marshal, should
submit monthly reports of archery activity. Report forms are on the
Atlantian archery web site or you can send reports directly to me at my email
addy. Please send reports even if no activity has occured, i.e. Barony of
the Broken Leg - no archery activity, too much snow! Please include your
SCA and mundane name and the name of the group/event you are reporting on.
If an event, please include the date of the event.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=203303513-07122007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gulf Wars GET shoot
- For those attending Gulf Wars in 2008 there will be a Grand Exhibition
Tourny. The top 10 archers registering at GW and qualifying will be
shooting. These archers will be determined by the following criteria: 20%
total number of IKAC scores submitted; 20% archer's highest submitted IKAC
score; 60% archer's average IKAC score during the qualification period (Oct 2007
- Mar 2008). Each and every archer will be heralded on the field by a
herald of thier choice or one appointed to them. The herald will be
heralding the archer's qualifications and merits for participating in the
shoot. Think A Knight's Tale! There will be a special prize for the
best archer and herald team. This shoot has been designed to promote
archery and IKACs and will be held in front of the fort for the populace.
Typically the IKAC db comes down during this qualification time period but its
owner/maintainer will keep the scores to determine qualification for this
shoot. So if you are going to GW next year and want to participate, get
out and shoot some IKACs and submit your scores. IKAC information on this
