[Ansteorra-archery] Guantlets

[Eadric Anstapa]

A Full Gantlet is exactly what any heavy fighter have to be wearing.  A hand
covering of rigid material designed to transfer the force of a blow to the
gripped weapons.  Handbow archer gotta have one of these on their bow hand.

An "Archers Gauntlet" is a substitute for a half-gantlet that can be used on
the string hand.  They are typically a Hockey Glove (the heavy kind used in
Ice Hockey NOT a thin street hockey glove)  with the fingers cut out and a
leather work glove worn underneath.
