4.D. Archery Request
Rationale:
A group has requested a waiver of City Code to conduct an archery event at the Maples.
Greetings! My name is Patrick McMurray, and I am contacting you on behalf of the Lincoln chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism. We are hoping to have a period archery shoot at the Maples on Sunday, October 19th. We understand that archery equipment is considered dangerous by the city, and we're hoping to receive a one day waiver from the city council for us to hold our event. As such, we would like our request to be put on the agenda for the next city council meeting. I will of course attend, to explain any details and cover any safety concerns. Thank you for your time, Patrick (P.J.) McMurray City Code 6-325 makes using a bow and arrow in town is unlawful but, of course, the City Council may act to change that and that is what McMurray and I have discussed. The Code §6-325 OFFENSES; SLINGSHOTS, AIR GUNS, BB GUNS. It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge a slingshot, air gun, BB gun, or the like loaded with rock or other dangerous missiles at any time or under any circumstances within the Municipality. (Ref. 17-556 RS Neb.) Given the similarities between a slingshot and a bow, the phrase, “or the like” applies to a bow. The firer holds a firm piece of the weapon with one hand while pulling back an elastic strand containing a projectile. When the firer desires, he/she releases and the projectile moves at high velocity away from the firer. Given the lethality, speed, and distance of an arrow (as opposed to a rock), the arrow is a dangerous missile. Steve Hensel Chief of Police
