<html><body><font face="Helvetica">Master Jonathas, in a sense yes. I'm agree with you and most of those range changes should be done on the EQ side and in their book of the horse as we discussed.

While the current rules will safely cover equipment and use, the current range rules do not cover movement of the shooter well enough. That applies both to EQ and regular TA as well. EQ just has the movement based on horseback, but regular TA has had a number of ranges where the archer is moving as well, for example the "Merida/Brave" shoot that Karl and I included with our Lochmere Arrow shoot, the Chalice walk/run shoot a few years ago, plus several others. Most have been handled as 'one off' ranges and carefully looked at, though some initially not as well as they should have been. <br><br>This would be a great time to set the rules for those type shoots, which
could then primarily be applied to EQ TA, but would also cover our own
odd shoots in a uniform and well thought out manner.<br><br>With those rules added and the current marshal warrant structure, there would not be EQ TA marshals. Only EQ marshals, TA marshals, and marshals who have both warrants.<br><br></div><br></div>EQ already has a number of authorizations. I would lobby against requiring an EQ TA authorization for shooting while the horse is on a lead rope (with the guide on foot/walking or on another horse). But I would highly recommend adding an authorization for "Unguided EQ TA", where the Archer must demonstrate they can guide the horse with only their feet while "dry firing" (at a very small draw of perhaps 1"~2") the bow while "aiming" at the intended target(ie focusing where the arrow is to go not where the horse is headed). This both shows the rider has enough control of the horse without hands, and that the horse is not skittish about the bow without a guide.<br><br></div>Jonathas<br><div><div><br><div><br><br></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 11, 2015 at 7:42 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jaynardone@comcast.net" >jaynardone@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000"><div>Good evening my Brothers and Sisters of the Bow. As most of you are aware I have been working behind the scenes with Lady Elanor from the EQ marshalette as well as Sir Otto and Master Gaston to bring some resolution and closure to the issues we have been seeing with the mounted archery program. At coronation this weekend we all had a chance to sit down and discuss the items I have been bringing up since the inception of this discussion. I am pleased to announce that I believe we have all come to agreement and Sit Otto blessed the direction going forward. Here is what was agreed upon:<br></div><div><br></div><div>1. EQ TA marshals MUST complete our full MiT program to become a warranted TA marshal for the EQ community, no exceptions!<br></div><div>2. I suggested that the EQ community increase the number of warranted TA marshals among their ranks to assure they are properly covered.<br></div><div>3. The book of the horse will be revised to reflect the correct TA rules for range safety, I suggested a pointer to our TA rules so if there are any updates on our side, they wont have to be made in multiple places.<br></div><div>4. I suggested that they get new EQ TA players with a warranted TA marshal among their ranks so the new comers can be watched and coached properly.<br></div><div>5. Any TA marshal will be able to take the EQ class so we can better understand their requirements as well.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I want to thank everyone that either contacted me or helped with these discussions. My push from day one was safety and not finger pointing.</div><div><br></div><div> In Service,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Janyn Fletcher<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
