[Ansteorra-archery] What are things that are keeping out Combat Archers of the field?

[Richard Threlkeld]

I understood they were fair game for projectile weapons. They
have to be proof against them anyway since they are often shot
blind into a group or over a wall and I was told only the new
white diamonds (scouts, waterbearers, ...) were exempt from
projectile targeting.
