We do and we dont.

There are provisions in our rules and in the society-wide rules for
non-contact participants.

However, some other kingdoms have two classes of archers.  One class is the
"Light"or non-contact archer which some would call a "white diamond" because
they would be wearing the white diamonds symbols.  These "light" archers do
not have to wear standard armor.  In some kingdoms they wear a very light
helm that is not fit for full contact combat, a gorget, and very little else
in the way of rigid armor.  We DO NOT have this class of archer in
Ansteorra.

In Ansteorra our combat archery authorization is what some other kingdoms
would call a "heavy" archer.  Meaning that it is a full-contact combat
authorization and the participants must be fully armored.

The "light" and 'heavy" archer thing is often particularly confusing to
Ansteorrans because in this kingdom those terms have become synonymous with
"rapier" and "armored".

We do have rapier combat archery in this kingdom.  It is a separate
authorization from armored combat archery.
