ARCH - Glaslyn's Defender of the Flame - Day Event

Will there be static archery shot as well as Combat tag?  Might I borrow a sheaf of arrows?  Mine still need repairs.  Honestly I haven't even seen my Combat bow since a day or two after war. <G>  I will have my armor there and whatever CA gear I find/make in good repair by then.

Thx,
     Wilim
