[Ansteorra-archery] Marshal Sash Idea

[Susan McMahill]

While the idea is a good one, in the ten or so years since I started doing archery in Ansteorra, I have never seen people having any real difficulty finding a marshal to inspect, ask questions of, etc. Sashes can be problematic, as people have pointed out, hoods and tabards too hot and inconsistent. Medallions are easily lost or confused among other insignia that may be worn. I know when I wear just my archery awards and my Oak, I have several things around my neck already. Anything else would get lost.  Many groups have regalia that they want their champions to wear. These too, would conflict with anything as far as collars, sashes, hoods, as many already wear them as champions.
 
There are two things that people can be guaranteed to see already, that lead immediately to someone who can help them, the white bracer of the Arc d' Or and the red bracers of the Students of the Arcs. Almost always there are several of those around, if there is a competition of any sort or the group is large enough. Smaller groups really don't require anyone to have identifying insignia, or garb, because everyone probably knows everyone there, already.
 
I'm not participating in Archery much, now, but it still means a great deal to me, and I do follow it. Just my two cents worth.
 
In Service,

I agree totally with this. We shouldnt make too many rules or it will start to become a fun suck. But i suppose if there is a cool enough sash, folks might want to wear it.  Might want to speak to the heraldic community to make sure no one has a cow about an Official sash

Misgivings aside I would like to give it a try. I agree it shouldn't be mandatory as well. Anyone who would like to experiment with should be encouraged to so. Maybe try it out on your local archers first I see what they think about it. And maybe at the next major event comes up give it a real trial run. 
 Any one who doesn't want to participate in this experiment shouldn't feel pressured to do anything but those who do shouldn't be discouraged from trying. I appreciate the initiative.

just because you are a marshal does not mean that you should be or are even wanted to be inspecting equipment for a shoot, the fewer inspectors the less likely some thing the  MiC does not like want getting into the shoot.

This is a bad idea and won't work for reasons too long to list 
here, just a waste of time, effort and resources!
 
Get smart and ask any archer on the range whom is inspecting 
when you arrive and they should be able to point you toward that 
person(s) and please courteous, arrive early to enough to get 
inspected without the marshal having to rush you through it or 
delay starting their tournament!

I do have to give full credit to Faolan for the idea of the arrow through the head.

I like that so much better than the sash. The MIC can have a brass tip.
