[Ansteorra-archery] Fiberglass Combat Arrows

The site for the Ansteorran APD will be updated soon.  But till then, DO NOT
COVER THE APD WITH DUCT TAPE.  There are two reasons for this. 1).  You
can't tell what's happening to the strapping tape underneath.  2).  Tessa
passed it without the duct tape.

Soon as I can work out my schedule and my local digital camera folks
schedule, I'll get the site updated.  There are a few other things to do.
But if you don't add the duct tape you're at the 90+% solution.

This kind of assumes the Ansteorran APD.

I've still not seen in any of the posted rules that says Fiberglass shafts
have to wrapped with 'Strapping' tape.  They simple say they must be taped
and sites Electrical tape as a good tape to use if you don't want to use
strapping tape.

The shaft must be 28" from nock to head.  I would think a cone would still
allow for a panic overdraw.  Most kingdoms that use "full" shafts use a long
piece of electrical tape at the 28" mark to build up a stopper.  The taper
of a cone would still allow me to draw back to 30" it would just mess up the
flight characteristics.  Just what we want, an overdrawn, wild shot.  In
General it's easier to just get your fibreglass cut to 28.5 inches (the
point five is list in the Head)  If you're buying fishing arrows you're
porbably paying too much.  If you're buying kids fiberglass arrows they're
probably hollow.  You can get fibreglass from materials suppliers for about
$0.40 a foot and they usually cut it to length for you. (For a slight charge
per cut)

The Ansteorran APD says it needs to be wrapped in Strapping tape but doesn't
say you can't go a step further and wrap it in duct tape also.  Other APDs
melt and roll the leading and trailing edge of the GT instead of wrapping
them in strapping tape but again they don't preclude covering the apd in
duct tape.  (I'm sorry guys but the duct tape final covering looks better
than the strapping tape.)

The White in snow heads out into the Ocean and becomes the foam on top of
the waves.  (I mean really, blue water can't make white foam)  When it's
done with that little joy ride it dyes the sands on beaches white.  That's
why all the really tropical places have black sand beaches.
