I have watched quietly as post after post comes by on this subject. The
first thing I noticed is that 'reverse entry' is becomming completely lost
in the 'bounce back' issue.
reverse entry: any time the nock end of an arrow touches skin, with greatest
concern of it enterring the helm.
history: reverse entry has happened. ratio is somewhere in the relm of 1 in
2000 chance = .05%
seriousness: loss of sight is a definatively more serious than loss of teeth
or basic skin punchers
Solutions:
1. wear eye protection
2. remove archery combat
3. change the arrows
a. to something that will not fly
b. flies so poorly it is not worth shooting
c. to a style that shoots poorly and many fighters will not call
(golf-tube arrows)
4. live with things the way they are
5. come up with something better
I have not stated any answers here, but have flavored the view with my
opinion. This is important to _all_ fighters, not just archers. So, please
be patient as we try to figure this out in a public forum and not just
amoungst us arrow-chunkers.
Again I would love to see every fighter in the castle next year with a bow
and six arrows. Then in unified vollies loose them on their foes outside the
wall.
your servant,
mahee
