<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I will share a brief discussion I had with one of the prime range marshals at Pennsic this year.  Those who have been to the archery range at Pennsic in past
 years and particularly been part of the Champion’s Shoot know of the intense competition between the East and Mid.  For many of us, this has been a major downer to archery at Pennsic.  My personal feeling is if you win by one point you won and neither side
 feels bad.  I see no reason to totally stomp the competition, the perspective in past years.  As a friend from Trimaris who was frustrated with the rapier community there once said to me “This is a hobby.  When it is no longer fun I will take myself and my
 money and go elsewhere.”  Those who kept this intense competition between the Mid and East have moved on and been replaced by others who see no need to continue that feeling.  There will always be frustrations setting and running a range at Pennsic due to
 size and multiple kingdoms, but Godric, East, left me with the impression that he feels the thought process of old is out and a process of getting along in a friendly competitive environment is the new norm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
