[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Rounds at Events

greetings 

some of this is getting enough marshals to volunteer, some is being close , but not " in " the center of the events. 
northkeep has been setting up multiple ranges at castellan with different things going on at different ranges , at different times ( children's shoot, title shoot, castellan shoot, baronesses shoot , etc.
though all ranges may not be open all the time a lot of shooting is going on.
this year , things may be a little different as we are moving back to the old location, since the fighting will be going on in front of the new fort , and we are adding a siege range .
the ranges normally open same time as the other activities, and run all day , usually until around 4pm, when the marshals usually have to turn in the names of the winners, and castellan participants, so that scores can be tallied, and scrolls filled out in time for court.
but we use a really huge site.
not all sites are big enough, or level enough to do as we do.
and we communicate frequently with the landeds, and the autocrats, so that they understand what we need for fun and safety .

so each group and each site, has different obstacles in our quest to find the perfect balance of activities, time, and interfacing with the rest of the event: /

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .

  Not as many being shot: Why?


  Several years ago I remember going to an event shooting Archery, doing thrown weapons, having fun. In the evening we would go to Court and people would say "Oh, did you you guys just get here?" they would announce the Archery Champion and people would say "There was Archery?"


  This was all because we were put as far away from everything as possible. Another problem with this was that we would rarely get waterbearing support, when we put people in for awards people would say who are they and why don't they come to events?


  Over the last several years we have worked to move Archery and Thrown Weapons closer to the main activities and Archers are now being seen and recognized.


  Now the problem is that since we are up at the front we can't setup the range and leave it operating all day. We are being given a 2 hour time frame for adult and 1 hour for children's shoots.


  We have to be aware of the site layout and the schedule of activities. Would it be nice to have more Royal Rounds shot . . . Absolutely!  Now we just have to figure out how:-)


  Maybe moving the range back away from the main center just a little bit (will this hurt what we have accomplished?)? Allowing some time early Sunday morning, 9am to 11am? Accepting, that we will not always be able to shoot RRs at events?
