<DIV><FONT face=Arial>greetings </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>sounds good , pester away ; )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>couple things I would add, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1st , we need heralds !!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>there always seem to be people wanting to learn to be
field heralds, but they are always hanging out at the heavy field , try to
gab a younger one</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>( gently, no damaging the heralds ) early , and
convince them to herald for the range , or better yet , 2 heralds , that way
one can announce the field, and one can run back to the other side of the
site to let people know what's about to start, or when the final round is
about to start. and both heralds could trade off . put a little ceremony in
your tite shoot, have the king / queen/prince/princess/ baron/ baroness/
your girl friend / the ladies of the burnt meat , /somebody / anybody /
audience , in a chair in the shade ( reminds me we need shade for both
participants and the adience ) and do a procession of competing
archers archers before the title shoot .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>like you said have more than one shoot, so that your
titled shoot can be fast paced , it should be dropping people fast
till you get it down to 5 or 10 people , audiences like activity ,
they want to be able to tell whos winning , have the heralds announce who is
leading per round , or even top 3 places , explain to them before each round
what the archer will attempt to do, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>eldern hills has earned a reputation for truly " evil
" shoots requiring archers to test their limits , due to this it is not
uncommon for them to have people bringing their own sun shades down to the
range , so that they can watch the shooting , at a recent tourney , it was
announced in court , ( and not by an archer ) that watching the shoot had
been like watching a pro golf tourney , ( wisper wisper from the audience ,
then twang from the archer , then lots of applause as the archer hit his
mark , weather he could see it or not, and the rounds went on neck and neck
, till finaly someone won .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>2nd . we need more color ( yes , I'm guilty ) too many
times , you go to an event , there is no color except the targets , the
cloths, and the arrows , none of which will attract people to see what's
going on . we need banners on poles, we need champion flags on our safety
ropes , we need colored flags on poles holding up our safety
rope.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>anything to ...well , on second thought , almost
anything to draw attention to the range .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>( no, blackmoon will not be putting on his barbarian
leathers and belly dancing to bring more people to the range , we don't want
them being ill when they get there ; )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>be safe, be happy, have fun</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Arthur </FONT></DIV>

Royal Round Keeper Report</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT color=#0000ff><B>Hi all, </B></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT color=#0000ff><B></B></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT color=#0000ff><B>I have only recently been able to get
back into archery....having twins does that to you!.....for my own
enjoyment and as a archery marshal. So here are my 2 cents (and its
probably worth about as much!) on what i have seen when attending events
and shoots.</B></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>Target Archery isnt seen
as important to most people as the other activities......but the
light weapons fighting wasnt as important as the heavy fighting not so
long ago. The same goes with all of the other activities. All of them were
small to start out with and it was because of the people who really loved
that aspect to keep them going and to make them grow. To make
anything grow it has to get peoples attention. </FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>To get attention it has to appeal
to the masses. It has to be something that makes people say...."Yeah i
want to do that!" It also has to have dedicated people to take on the
challenge and do the work.</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>It has to be brought to
the attention and supported by the people with higher
stations. "Especially" any "titled" competition.</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>It has to be promoted. If the general
populace isnt even aware of what is happening down on the archery field
then they will not show up to see if it is something that they want to get
involved in.</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>It is going to be up to all of us that
are passionate about this to make it happen. </FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>Here are my ideas of how to improve
things....there has got to be more people to help run a range or shoot. If
it is left up to one poor soul to provide the targets, haul them there,
set them up, run the thing and then take it all down......of course they
wont have the energy or desire to spend any more time out there!
</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>We need more certified marshals that are
willing to help run an event. If the work load is broken up then it
wont all fall on just a few peoples shoulders. </FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>The details of the shoots and tourneys
need to be planned out and made known far in advance so it can be listed
on the event sites and in the upcoming event publications.
</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>The details of the archery shoots
need to be announced at every Morning Court so the populace will know what
is going on for that weekend and people encouraged to go take part or just
to loan their support by attending. The children really need to be
encouraged to attend. You could even make up a sign with all of the
details listed and place it somewhere that gets more foot traffic.
</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>If there is going to be a Titled shoot
then it should be held at this or that time to fit along with the schedule
for all of the other Titled activates.....but lets face it, not everyone
wants to go to all of those....so why not have the range open? Have a fun
shoot....a new persons shoot....a Royal Round, ect....ect. If you get
enough marshals to help out then the range could be up and running the
whole weekend. Even if someone only runs it for 30 minutes it will give
the others a chance to go see other things, to take a break.......or even
be able to participate!!!</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>As for a Titled shoot....i completely
understand that this should be a challenging shoot to determine who the
winner will be....but i have seen far to many events with only a titled
shoot and if you are a new comer.... are knocked out the first round and
dont get to shoot the rest of the entire event.......then why travel the 4
hours to attend? (except of course to attend other things) but i for
one am mostly there for the archery and i am sure there are allot of
others that are the same.</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>Make up some fun targets!!! Go to your
archery practice and ask everyone what they think would be fun to do at
the event that your area is going to do. If you all come up with some
really cool targets then make sure you announce what they are going to be
to get as much attention as possible!!! Figure out what materials or help
you would need, get as many of your local archers willing to help get it
all made up.....this will also make them feel more part of the
event....and if you need extra help or funds announce it at your populace
meetings and post about it on the mailing list.</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>Funds for all of this is one of the
biggest problems....have raffles, or fund raisers to help pay for
materials and equipment. Ask any and all local artisans to donate
something if they can. Again...announce it in the populace meetings and
mailing list! You can have a fund raiser at your local event....but you
can also plan a fun shoot at your local practice range and have
one.....get the word out that you are having a special fund raising shoot
or raffle if you can get a nice prize donated. </FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff></FONT></B></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><B><FONT color=#0000ff>I am probably forgetting allot of other
ideas but i am tired! and may pester you all with yet another rambling
post! LOL</FONT></B></SPAN></DIV>
