[Ansteorra-archery] Marshal Sash Idea

[Ld.blackmoon]

greetings 

like many things in the sca, people will start off all excited, then after a while , start getting bored, or tired, or half a hundred other " reasons " .
( how many field heralds do you see wearing their tabbards to make announcements across site throughout the day ? )
i know the north has a large percentage of archers that are also marshals.
so i would wonder , how many of them would wear a marshals tabbard all day ?? how many only in the morning before the days shooting started ? 
and how many would " forget " them in camp, or at home, etc. ( for what ever reason  )

and then you have multiple " other " questions to ask about the tabbards ... will there be a specified " dealer " people have to buy them from ? 
will they all be identical ?
what materials should be used ?  too thick and you roast in the ansteorran heat , too thin and they will fade , or tear easily ....
what dyes are to be used ? will they bleed all over peoples garb , from sweat or rain ??
just for a few.

and then , just because it seems odd to me, i have to ask... since the sca is supposed to be a " social " group, where people learn by speaking to others, and doing with others..

when someone approaches the ranges , do marshals no longer greet them and ask if they would like their equipment inspected ??
do mic's no longer step forth and announce the rules for each shoot ??
have the marshals all forgotten that we perform a " service " to the missile community , as well as our local and regional groups, and yes even the kingdom and society  levels, since we help keep a large number of people active in the sca. ??

ok, the old fart will climb down off his soap box, and go back to school work.
not trying to psss anyone off, just expressing my opinion , between rounds of networking fundamentals , and ubuntu : /

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .

     biggest problem could be getting people to actually wear them : /

      I would like to have an easier way for archers to figure out who is a marshal on archery ranges. For one thing it will help them find people who can inspect their equipment. My idea is a sash striped yellow and black like a marshal staff. There can be something different to mark the marshal in charge and any marshals in training.
      At smaller events it is not as big an issue, but I have observed a bit of confusion and chaos at larger ranges.
