After speaking with Authur Blackmoon a few years ago he told me that children (ages10-17) had to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to participate on the range. I have a few young boys in our group that really want to throw but I won't let them unless they have one of their parents be there watching them.</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Now last year at Steppes Warlord I did have a situation were a grandmother had a granddaughter and a grandson that she had to watch at the same time. I told the young boy that his grandmother had to at the range to watch him however she needed to watch the granddaughter as well. Well the grandmother couldn't make it to the range and sat in an area between the 2 ranges so she could
keep an eye on both. Well after about 15 minutes I noticed the grandmother had left to go watch the granddaughter even closer, so I had to tell the young boy that he to leave the range since no one was watching him. Of course he didn't like me telling him that but being the Marshal-in-charge of the Thrown Weapons range it was my duty to tell him that he had to leave the range plus he didn't need to speak to my deputy marshal the way he did.</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>I had a case at Gulf Wars this past year with a parent that I told had to watch their child even though he was a teenager. She was very agreeable with that. I showed what Arthur had e-mailed on the rules about it and explained that it also for the child's safety that the parent or legal guardian be present.</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>On the case of the RR's out of state, sometimes it can be difficult to get throwers to do the RR along side
with their regular throwing. This year at GW I tried to have a RR with the regular scoring for the war points but all anyone wanted to do was do practice throwing and learn how to throw. I was looking forward to being able to provide some out of state scores but alas no one wanted to.</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>For the Honor,</span></div><div><span>Lord Lochlan Shaw</span></div><div><span>Deupty Kingdom Missile Marshal for Thrown Weapons</span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <div style="margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); height: 0px; line-height: 0; font-size: 0px;" class="hr" contentEditable="false" readonly="true"></div> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b>

They are great for expeienced shooters to see how much they have progressed. It is just my opinion but I feel if we keep their interest and they keep coming back eventually they will want to shoot royal rounds.

Many people do not shoot RR scores and have no interest in them, many people shoot one once in awhile but since they must have 3 of them in a 12 month period and 1 of them MUST be an away score there are many people that do not show up on the list.

Children's Archery<br><br> I agree that there are areas and groups that do pretty good. One thing that I have noticed is that we have MANY MANY kids (under 11 or 12) but that we do not have as many that are older than that. I know our son Baldo was pretty good archery and was shooting but once he hit about 14 the SCA was no longer "Cool" so he did not want to do it anymore:-( I think this happens with many of the kids in the SCA. One thing that had been discussed before and they recently setit up for IKAC and I believe we can now make it an option on the RR is to have both children (10, 15, 20 yards with timed at 10 yard) and a youth division that is 15, 20, 30 with a timed round at 15 yards. This MIGHT help or it might now. If it is available for us to use we should consider using it and making it available.<br><br> Vincenti<br><br> On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 12:42 PM, Ld.
