I guess I wasn't very clear. I have authorized in both rapier and armored
combat in Ansteorra. My question was more along the lines of, are there
special armor rules in addition to those of normal rapier combat in order
to do archery in a rapier scenerio? Are there different requirements for
the bows or quarrels for a rapier archery scenerio than for those 
weapons used in an armored archery event?

And is this ever done in Ansteorra? I don't remember seeing any archery
involving rapier combatants, but perhaps I've just missed those that
were held.

I was not making a distinction of whether there was a "dead at ten feet"
rule or not or whether the archer could carry a secondary weapon.
