[ANSTHRLD] new Sable Thistle at GE event

[John Moore]

And here I was being nice and you had to give away secrets.  Considering 
that the majority of people putting award recs for archery is most 
likely going to be archers I would bet they would know what it means.  
Those that don't most likely do by now.  If not then those of us who do 
know what it means will probably continue to use it.  You have to admit 
it is fun watching the heralds try to pronounce it.

They just record what the Crown announces, which is usually based on what people who make Award Recommendations suggest.  Is the average person making an award rec smart and clever enough to know Toxophilitic Craftsmanship is a sub category in the artistic field of archery?
