The concern about the weight of an arrow in tradition or target archery
does not applied in combat archery. In saying this, there are specific
brands or ratings for both the fiberglass and/or soliflex arrows shafts
that are used.
Society level rules for combat archery ammunition and APDs, which
Ansteorra now uses.

pg 15 and 16
Fiberglass shafts - high quality 1/4" solid fiberglass pultrusions
custom formulated. Remember, fiberglass pultrusions are not created equal.
Two types of fiberglass manufacturers:
1. "Extern" brand manufactured by Strongwell. At one time, Eadric
Anstapa was selling this brand, not sure if he still is or not.
2. Maclean - this is the manufacturer that North Star Archery uses.

Siloflex shafts - can also be used in this kingdom, not sure if anyone
is though, rating for this is 100 psi. It would require a heavier
crossbow than what is used for fiberglass. 800 inch pounds is the limit.
Using a recurve or long bow is limited to 40 lb., draw at 28 inches.
The below web site has a sub menu that lists by kingdom what is allowed
and a list of suppliers:

One supplier that I have dealt with in the past - North Star Archery:
http://www.northstararchery.com/combat.html
North Star has both tradition and SCA combat archery equipment, plus
photo instructions on how to build the various types of legal SCA arrows
and/or bolts.
Hope this helps.
