face=Arial>YIKES!!! My pet peeve!!! So let me pontificate for a
moment. If we, as archery marshals will soon have to take Marshaling 101
for heavy fighting (???? yet to be decided) is it not only "fair" that EVERY
heavy marshal have to take Archery 101? Most heavy marshals have
absolutely no clue as to the needs of archery or thrown weapons. OR, as an
alternative but not to over encumber the event process, should there not be a
class/warrant for event autocrats that includes the "needs" of heavy, rapier,
archery and thrown weapons? It has been my experience that most autocrats
and MICs have little to no knowledge of archery, thrown weapons or atlatl
needs. Seems only fair to me.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Good evening everyone, there was another topic I wanted to
bring up at Unevent but I didn’t get a chance to get to it. I wanted to thank
everyone once again for the incredibly successful year we had in Atlantian
Archery and also for all of your hard work to make it so. With that said, I
noticed at multiple events I attended that archery was put out in the “back
40” and at a few of them there was really no reason for this. I know at 3 or 4
events I saw opportunities where archery could have been seen by all on site
and still have been in a safe location to conduct the shoot. I actually talked
with the Autocrats at 2 of these events and they stated that they were relying
on their MIC’s for Archery to choose the locations. I have been on the kick to
assure that we work as closely with our Autocrats as we can to educate them on
our needs and rules for Archery. I would love for them to sit through our
class but I fully understand that most of them will have no interest and this
just won’t happen. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So I am asking you all to please take the time when
planning for next year to try to see if you can choose site locations that
will still be safe but will also locate archery much closer to the main event.
At events like the Golden Rose, it was very enjoyable for all because the non
archers could walk over and see what we were doing and vise versa for the rest
of the activities during the day. Let’s not simply just let the Autocrats put
us out of site just because they are concerned. I would also suggest and hope
that all of you as MICs for the Archery are going out to the site first to get
a lay of the site and plan where you will be setting up. Safety is always our
main concern but I think we can do better in placement of our activity. I have
been asked by many Royals in our Kingdom to see if we can change this from our
norm.<o:p></o:p></P>
