Who's got a gauge?  I've had my current helm for about 15 years.  I have no
idea what gauge it is.

Shoot more arrows.  You're bound to hit something.

> ========================================
>
> Armor Rule Change
>
> All participants on the field during armoured (heavy weapons) combat
> shall meet the Society minimum armor standards for a fully armoured,
> heavy weapons combatant. This includes but is not limited to combat
> archers, scouts, siege engineers and other combatants who may have in
> the past used "light" armor allowed under the Missile Weapon equipment
> standards. It would not include marshals, water bearers or churigeons.
>
> These standards can be found in the marshals handbook or online, on the
> Society Marshal's website here:
>
> http://www.sca.org/officers/marshal/combat/armored/armor_standards.pdf
>
> The only exception to this rule shall be those missile combatants
> equipped with the "Archers Gauntlet'' All missile combatants may wear an
> archers gauntlet on both hands. Full hand protection is recommended for
> an archer's bow hand, and whenever conditions place the hand holding a
> throwing weapon at risk of being struck. The "Archer's Gauntlet'' shall
> be a minimum of an ice hockey glove with the fingers cut off, so that
> the back of the hand and the wrist are protected. Other gauntlets such
> as demi-gauntlets may be used in place of the "Archers Gauntlet''
> described above, so long as they provide equivalent or greater protection.
>
> Participants have a maximum of 18 months to upgrade their helms to 16
> gauge or better, if they need to do so. That change will be effective
> (January 1st, 2005)
>
> All participants will have a maximum of 6 months to upgrade any other
> armor that they need to fit the Society standards. That change will be
> effective (January 1st, 2004)
>
> This ruling applies to all combatants currently using full or
> non-contact archer/missile combatant armor or non-contact scout armor
> during heavy/armored combat.
>
> This rule change will replace the non-contact armor rules in the
> marshals handbook and missile user light armor standards in the missile
> combat handbook.
> ____________________________________________________________

>
> In effect this means that participants:
>
> 1. That had 18 gauge helms now need to get a 16 gauge (or better)
> The minimum armor for all participants is:
> 2. Neck Armor:
> 3. Kidney protection
> 4. Groin protection.
> 4. Hand and Wrist Armor: A minimum of 2 Archers gauntlets.
> 5. Rigid knee and elbow protection.
> b. All individuals will wear sturdy footwear while engaged in combat
> activities.
>
> Please check the society standards for specifications on what is allowed
> or not.
