ARCH - IntraAnsteorra Archery Competition standings

[Bob Dewart]

Greetings and Hi There,

Be not confussed anymore.

This is a porption of the Keepers April report  which can be found at
ikac at dellarco.com

"At this time the period division rules allow fiberglass in the period bows,
however I'm thinking of removing fiberglass from the period division next
season. I'd like comments, please."

Yeap, they are solid fiberglass.  No unfair advantage, unless of course
being in MY hands is one (Really Big Grin and eyes rolling)

If you have a plain jane, non center cut type, it's OK.

The biggest thing on the period division is the arrow.  It's got to be a
self nocking arrow.  It can have a nock of bone, horn, another type of wood
or even just a notch in the arrow shaft itself.  But no plastic.

BTW, Plachoya was shooting net to me at the time.  :)

Gilli
