[Ansteorra-archery] Combat Archery Ruling

[jim hodek]

One last, and my only question. The second requirement is that the side wrap foam padding must extend from the tip to a minimum of 1/2 inch over the UHMW itself. is this from the leading edge of the UHMW or the shaft edge?

Greetings,


   As of this afternoon we have decided the path that Ansteorra will take with the new Society Rules concerning ammunition construction.  Effective immediately all UHMW cored blunts will require a minimum of 1/2" padding and a maximum of 1" of padding.  Once again here is the announcement from the Society Combat Archery Marshal;

Effective immediately by the Society Earl Marshal & the Deputy Society Earl Marshal for Combat Archery, the following changes to equipment are required due to repeated incidents of helm penetrations: 

Combat Archery ammunition may have at most 1" thick padding on the tip after taping.

All UHMW & Siloflex/Rubber Stopper ammunition must have a side wrap of foam added that brings the total diameter of the blunt to at least 1.5" after taping. This wrap must extend from the tip to at least 1/2" over the UHMW or Siloflex itself.

All fletches on any arrows, bolts, or thrown weapons can project no further than 1/2" from the shaft, or must be 1.5" thick.

NOTE: All Marshals need to be rigorous in their inspections of all tips (arrows & thrusting) and mass weapons. Ensure that the foam is firm, will not bend over, returns to shape when compressed, and can not be easily pushed into a legal helm more than 1/2".

  A big concern is that Gulf War requirements currently for CA is 3/4" of padding.  If you plan on attending Gulf War, or even sending some arrows/bolts to Gulf Wars I would make sure that your ammunition passes that standard.  They will be legal here and will be legal there.  If Gulf War standards change I will send out a notification to the appropriate lists.  Thank you all for your patience in letting us see this through.

In Service,
