I received my copy of the Acorn two days ago. The new policy is in there. It is official even if you haven't gotten your copy yet. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am still mostly clueless as to exactly how to use the rules. I also wish we could keep mathematician/lawyers from writing our rules. Good lord. Everyone on this list has posted excellent reasons why this new policy is confusing, unworkable and ignores variables such as barriers, type of shoot and bows (20lb. youth bows v. 100 lb. longbows). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We do not have an archery practice in my area of Windmaster's Hill because we have no range and few marshals. I recently bought a new house with pastures. While I have marked out a safe range, I do not think it qualifies under these rules for an official practice. Too bad. I will have to shoot alone now because I am not foolish enough to accept the liability for others on my property.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>btw, would any of you let me stand ten feet to the left of your line and ten feet in front of it? Am I reading these rules wrong, or would that be allowed?</div>

<div>Actually, my interpretation of rules are binding, pending appeal to society. Further, there is nothing in my email that is contrary to the rules as written.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This rule is in place now. I will, of course entertain suggestions and will be monitoring things as we move forward.</div>

<div>FYI, everyone and anyone can post anything regarding what was posted in the ACORN, but it is not part of the "policy" until it is posted in the ACORN. So, if an explanation of what the rule really should be is posted here, the explanation can not be relied upon as policy and if there is an injury or damage the marshal in charge could be libel.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, since there are a lot of people are having trouble reading this rule change it needs to be rewritten and published again, and possibly with with notes/explanations.....<br>

> Practices that do not satisfy the basic rules must obtain a waiver. I recommend you contact Allen immediately if you are in this case. It is up to him to determine what level of documentation, if any, is required on his part to provide the authorization. For static sites, there is no expiration on the authorization. For sites where things change the waiver is valid for the configuration that is described to the KEM. I would clarify this by saying that you are receiving authorization for how you build out the safety zone. If you change target layout in such a way that you can still take advantage of the coverage, then that authorization will still be valid.<br>

I don't begrudge anyone having their say, and agree that a number of serious issues have been raised, but we're just spinning our wheels. It is time that Lord Kynneth and Lord Allen stepped and made their pronouncements, clarifications, etc., so we can all get our tape measures, transecs, whatever, go measure our respective ranges, and start writing our waiver requests.<br>
