Most non-archery marshals don't wear a full-out black and yellow tabbard.  However, they do generally carry a striped staff which allows people to visually identify them as marshals (it also helps keeps fighters within the boundaries).  Since archery marshals generally don't require a shepherd's hook, a visual indicator --the sash-- will be sufficient to expand the "I'm a marshal" precedent.  Too, few people wear striped sashes.  That in and of itself would set a marshal apart from the usual event or archery range attendee.

>> 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.
