has a good idea there. That is why I would vote for either a "mystery"
shooting station or grouping total scores. Basing anything on RR scores
become very iffy. Some don't shoot RRs but are very good
archers. RR categories across all the kingdoms vary a bit.
Having a "mystery" station eliminates any possibility of any archer sand
bagging their score on that station just to win the prize/cookie (Elk ridge bows
are just plain sweet!). The idea of "at MIC descretion" puts a
degree of nepotism/he knew him/he likes him and all those other ugly things
people say when they don't win into it. Having some blind criteria removes
all of that. No one need know the "mystery" station except the MIC until
days shooting ends. We've done that at every SAAD and it works just
fine. It also evaluates how each archer is shooting on that day. I
would also add that if we are going to give away an Elkridge bow to a "mid
level" archer some "perceived" equivalent need be given to those groups
above. Now for most of the more elete archers a badge, medalion, golden
arrow would suffice as they "should" be gracious enough to want the less skilled
archer to have a fine bow. Some people are not that big though,
sadly. Is that a consideration we need worry ourselfs about?
Personally I say no. Others?</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

idea. However, I would caution against qualifying it in writing as
"marksmen and below" because you often get shooters who perform well above what
their Royal Round rank would indicate (and not always for "dishonorable"
reasons). Maybe add "as voted on by the MICs" or somesuch,
so you can avoid giving bow to a Howard Hill type who hasn't kept his RR
averages current.</SPAN></DIV>
