[Ansteorra-archery] Ansteorra-archery Digest, Vol 31, Issue 27

It never fails. Fear ruins everything. I have been doing this for a heck
of a long time and have seen ZERO injuries due to combat archery. I have
seen injuries due to poor helmet fit, bad armor strapping, poor fighting
ability, lack of fitness, poor shield design, and about a dozen other
things. I think what we have is a bunch of "invincibles" who get their
panties in a wad because a lowly "peasant" can take them out with a well
placed shot. Their answer is to make arrows that SUCK! Why don't we just
make our swords out of siloflex too! That way no body can get hurt when
someone strikes them.
This is another example of why the SCA will one day be no better than a
role-playing fantasy group. Maybe we should all carry multi sided dice
and we can just throw them at each other!
Jeez....wussies suck the fun out of everything!

But let it be know also that this incident was 2 years ago, and was
never reported to the MIC or CAMIC of the event in Atlantia.I believe.

Sir Kenneth,
?
It's true. There are a few?knights and masters?on the Missile Combat
list, some of whom are advocating a single society standard and that
standard would be tube ammo. In fact some are actually advocating that
we go to a single manufacturer!
?
What is driving this is the fear that a fiberglass shaft will penetrate
a blunt and then someone's eye. I and others have been trying to
reassure them of the safety of fiberglass shafts when wedded to UHMW
blunts. Some have actually come around to a point. Others lofted their
opinions and then left. I have to say, a number of the posters on the
list (CA proponents and anti-CA types) have been less than courteous. 
?
Duke Lucan has posted an account by one of his squires stating that he
was struck below his eye by a blunt-less shaft. So those that dislike CA
has an incident to point to.

What information does anyone here have on this?? Sir Lyonel just posted
this to the Chiv list.
?
A number of knights in various kingdoms are pressing, lately, to ban
fibreglass shaft ammunition and allow only 100# siloflex bolts and
arrows on the battlefield. 
?
I confess that I don?t frequent the SCA-wide lists, so I hadn?t heard of
this until now.? Does this have a chance?? What is driving this?? Lyonel
put a pool out to our list to get the opinion of our chivalry on it
asking just one question??do you agree with this??? I don?t expect many
of the Ansteorran chivalry to support such an idiotic (sorry?to strong a
word?) proposal.? I just wanted to find out what anyone else might know
about it.
?
Thanks.
