[Ansteorra-archery] New Combat Archery Rule affecting Egg Baldar Blunts

[jspinks at ix.netcom.com]

Which means the 50 new Baldars I just assembled are basically worthless.  Although cheaper than a lawsuit it is getting way too expensive and difficult to be a combat archer (maybe that is the intent?).  I reckon the same is now going to apply to the back end of the arrow as well and we will have to revisit that issue too?

Nuff said until my blood pressure declines.

=========================


Due to problems and concerns with combat archery blunts partially
penetrating
helms 1/2" or more the following rule will be effective April 20th, 2003:

Any domed CA blunt MUST reach a minimum 1" in diameter at 1/4" distance
from
the tip of the blunt. All blunts must be the full 1 1/4" diameter at a
maximum distance of 1/2" from the tip.

The Baldar Egg blunts will not be legal on the combat field without
approved
modification to increase the front diameter of the blunt. Any
modifications
developed for these blunts must be tested using the following three tests;

1. Cram Test
2. Drop Test
3. Shot into the faceplate of a helm test.

The results of these tests must be sent to your Kingdom Earl Marshal
and/or
Kingdom Combat Archery Marshal and the Deputy Society Marshal for Combat
Archery, for final approval.

If there are any questions, please let me know,

THL Tessa the Huntress
Deputy Society Marshal for Combat Archery

**This ruling will be posted on the Society Marshals page in an appendix
to
the missile combat rules, until the missile combat handbook gets rewritten
and updated.
