	Thanks for your opinion.  No one is saying that this type of
program couldn't be done.  Not really though it may sound like it.  What I
think the initial thing was that it sounded like it would be restricted to
the King's Archers being able to do it and no one else.

My personal feeling is that if you have something to teach and someone
wants to learn it then go for it.
THe relationship will develop from he base.  Having a formal relationship
often hurts a relationship more than helps it sometimes.

If Gillie needs to have a formal relationship and others like it and want
to do it, then cool.  If you want to make it formal then petition the Crown
to add it in to the charter for the King's Archer.
Personally, I don't know if the archery community has enough sommunity to
develop this on a formal basis.  This list is, as I stated earlier, a good
step to developing that but it hasn't been arounbd very long.  Within this
kingdom, the protege system for the Pelicans hasn't been around that long.
And alot of the older Pelicans are still very mixed about it. (When those
guys choose to show up that is.)
If you want to have it bound with the King's Archers, then ask all of the
King's Archer's and the Crown and see if it floats...
