ANST - Re: Archery safety issue & History Repeated

[Laura Matthews]

To everyone concerned:

To put to rest a lot of bandwidth. Let me make this perfectly clear.
THERE WILL BE NO MODIFICATION OF HELMS.

Please focus your time and energy on finding the specifications for
the bows, crossbows, and ammo needed to solve this safety issue.
Modifications to helms is not an option.  With the testing that is on
going and the information that we can gather.  We will be able to make an
informed judgement as to the steps needed to make this a safer activity.

Thank you for your cooperation.  Please send replies to stasya at msn.com

>>Certainly arrows are cheaper than helms.

Certainly 1 arrow or 20 arrows are cheaper than a helm.  How about 200 to=
 300?  And then you have to restock after the arrows get trampled and bro=

>>Also if you cover an area for one thing you start another ie heat probl=
ems due to not letting the skin get air because your covering it.

Heat problem?  Heat problems?  This is Texas people!  You're going to hav=
e heat problems no matter what you do.  If you are worried about heat, wi=
