<font color='black' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>My brother's and sisters of the bow, I implore you to come to these fine gentle's aid.

</div>
<div>I have run the archery range at Ruby for the last five years and know that many people have enjoyed the shoot, fighting is all well and good but come one, archery will always be better. I am unable this year to run the range which saddens me deeply but alas, life must take precedence. I will say though that the past five years I have run the Gem Joust range I have always had shade and beverage and even snacks (plus during site clean up day we dust for ticks!), which many of you know is something very hard to get where they usually put us (even for other events as we are so often put so far away from everything) and I've never run out of water which being so far from point is a good thing. They take care of their marshals and aid them when they can. I will be on site for the event and plan on shooting (yay!) and would be happy to assist if needed. It pains me that I can not help my barony in their time of need but I also know there are those capable of holding this event which is so greatly loved in my stead. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For range information (location, general information) I would recommend contacting count Amos or his lady the autocrat. They like us don't want to see this aspect of the event canceled and I know I've done what I can to try and save archery at events where I can and I know I'm not the only one who would be greatly saddened to see this be canceled off the schedule for one of the bigger events of the season.</div>

Yes, the was the sitting King who compared archery & rapier to "underwater basket weaving". And now he needs help, so we'll take it up the ass and do the right thing, as always.<br>
