This is exactly the approach we will be using for our shooter's safety pin. We will also try a similar approach for anything else that might save time and embarrassment, like forgetting to turning the main breaker on. (Not that we have ever forgotten to turn the breaker on........more than twice a day during competition.)

Mind you, anyone that has done this little boo-boo is immediately demoted to "Freshman" for the day, regardless of how long they have been on the team, in school, or beyond. This even extends to our Mentors..... of which I am one,... and have worn this label.
