The autocrat should let<BR>the marshals look at the location and see what can be run. Rapier with<BR>Combat Archery (CA) needs a minimum of 30 yards on any side that will have<BR>spectators. Heavy with CA is the same, add siege and they need more.<BR>We need to make sure the autocrat knows how much. <BR> <BR>I do not feel a check list for the autocrat, will help. More training never<BR>hurts anyone, but who has the time.<BR> <BR>As marshals, who want to promote our activity, we need to take the<BR>responsibility to let the autocrat understand the needs for our activity. <BR> <BR> <BR> In service to Atlantia,<BR> Godai Katsunaga<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Archers mailing list<BR>Archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org<BR>http://seahorse.atlantia.sca.org/listinfo.cgi/archers-atlantia.sca.org<BR></P></div></body></html>
