[Moo] FW: Kingdom Archery Championship Results

[earlmika at aol.com]

 I understand that the water bearing in the early round may of been a little light. I know I was offered water at least 3 times during those walkups. Noone expected the weather we got. It was not forcast to be that bad. I do know that by the afternoon shoot the waterbearers did an outstanding job. I was offered water at almost every station or so it seemed to me.

Mes plus humbles salutations, nobles dames et seigneurs,

May I make a couple of humble suggestions for the next time we get this
kind of weather?

It would have helped tremendously if there would have been more watering
station and if they would have been closer to the actual shooting
grounds.  There was no time to get to them (especially in the walking
shoots) and water bearers were sorely missed...  Watering breaks of 5
minutes every 30 to 45 minutes might also have helped.  Finally,
shooting in the midday sun may have also caused a lot of dehydration.
For myself, I know that I was concerned that I would miss a shoot if I
took the time to get some water and paid the price. Having lived in
Colorado, I should have known better. :(

Again, PLEASE do not take these comments as criticisms, but suggestions
because Alexandre and I DID have a lot of fun for the time we were
shooting.  We want to extend warm wishes to all who were involved in
setting up and running the event.

Eloise LeGardeur

It appears that I am still suffering a bit from the heat.

I listed Aeddan Ivor twice, and FORGOT someone.

My apologies to Sean Mckelly who was also a finalist.
