Yes, I shall make my own combat arrows & bolts available as loaners to
those who may need them.
FYI - If you have yet to hear there is also a combat archery tournament
scheduled for Steppes' Warlord on the Canton site in three weeks. It is
currently on the list to start at 11 AM: Saturday morning (after the
children's "fun shoot"), with a light siege weapons tournament to start
shortly afterwards (hopefully about 3 PM:). All competitive static
archery will be held on Sunday.
In service,
Ironwyrm
