You know I hate to make a shameless plug but this does seem like a
good opportunity to do so. One of the things we are always short of
in combat archery during Gulf War is marshals, both inspecting & field.
It's always the same archery marshals volunteering to work the inspection
stations and battlefields. If you're interested in how this all works I
would
strongly suggest you get involved by volunteering as archery marshals
this
coming Gulf War XIV.
Just a suggestion,
Arcus Wm. Ironwyrm
Royal Huntsman of Ansteorra
