Well, the passing thing is the question. I submitted my work on 2 October.
If it does pass, it's the thing for wood arrows.
But Eadric is right. Fiberglass is the way to go. While our Ansteorran War
Arrows will go a bit farther, the wood just breaks too much. And the
Ansteorran works great on them too.
While I have an unknown large number of wood combat arrows, I'll only be
repairing them, not making new ones. I'm only making UHMW and fiberglass
ones. And I'm not in a big hurry there either. Because after the surgeries
(Darcy is having one too) we're looking at trying to buy some land and a
house. So our presences at the next GW or two or three is doubtful.
Say there, you might not know it but you have a 3rd place IAAC medallion
coming for you Open division score in the previous season. So, which would
you rather do: get the a Coronation or at the next Academy of the Bow?
