Daraith wrote:This year Diomedes and myself are co-leading arrow check. In lieu of teaching an arrow/bow checking class, we are offering on the job training every morning at arrow check. Every person who ever hopes to touch a bow is invited to attend. For people who currently wield a bow I suggest attendance strongly enough to be just short of a command...and possibly stronger. Archery is a lot of fun, but it's also the most dangerous aspect of our sport. Every archer needs to know what a passing or failing arrow feels like. Lacking knowledge in this area makes you less credible, and makes more work for the checkers. So remedy that lack of knowledge, free of charge, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood arrow checkers.

(and seeing as how i'm in charge of the boards/flyers, this is a real suggestion.)

Another idea I had was during the regular fighting between banner battles and the lunch breaks. Any suggestions?

There are no staffs in Belegarth. Because of how they are constructed, they are really Pugil Sticks.

One of the things I'm struggling with is the best time to hold the classes. I originally thought that lunchtime would be good but that is also when weapons check is taking place. Another idea I had was during the regular fighting between banner battles and the lunch breaks. Any suggestions?
