[Ansteorra-archery] Marshals for AoB ;-)

[jspinks at ix.netcom.com]

Well, running a range for a few hundred cubscouts, boyscouts, and ventures can't be any worse and I thus earned a few of my white hairs that way.  Last time out I had 4 teens nail an apple at 20 yds.  I will volunteer my time for the childrens range.  And you are quite correct about what a charge the kids get when they do well.  It is the best part of teaching.  Will you have suitable loaner gear available?

Many thanks to all for the outstanding response to my request for marshals. 
It was not the least bit unexpected, but nonetheless, it was deeply 
appreciated. With so much spirit and enthusiasm, how can it not be a great event?

Still room in the schedule for a couple more classes, so don't be shy if you 
feel you have something to offer. If Youth Academy was any sort of a guage to 
measure by, we'll be spending a good bit of our time on the line teaching 
newcomers to archery how to shoot. Not a bad thing to be certain, but I can tell 
you whoever volunteers to run the Children's range will have my respect and 
admiration. All you need are the eyes of a hawk, the reflexes of a rattlesnake, 
and nerves of tempered steel. Still and all, to see the rapture on a child's 
face first time he or she hits the target, is a rare and priceless treasure I've 
not yet had my fill of. Guess I could stand a wee bit more abuse at the hands 
of the "halflings" ;-)

Yours in Service,
Robert of Yorkshire
