[Ansteorra-archery] [Ansteorra-missile] New Archer Prepping for war

[John Moore]

About all I could find on requiring a Armored Combat authorization for 
Missile Combat.

I. Rules of the List
Ansteorra requires that all combatants adhere to the Rules of the Lists 
described in Section II of
the SCA Marshal's Handbook with only the following changes:
Section 11 - I.B.2 { No person shall participate in Official 
Combat-Related Activities
(including armored combat, period fencing, and combat archery) outside 
of formal training
sessions unless they have been properly authorized under Society and 
Kingdom procedures
until he or she has been properly authorized under Society and Kingdom 
procedures,
and has signed the appropriate waiver. In witness whereof, the 
participant will have,
and be prepared to present to the Crown or Their representative, a valid
Authorization Card.}
No one under the age of sixteen (16) years will be allowed to be a 
participant in any
SCA Adult Combat Activity within the Kingdom of Ansteorra. Minors aged 6 
-- 17 can
participate in Youth Boffer Combat. Minors aged 12 -- 17 may participate 
in Youth
Rapier Combat. Minors ages 16 -- 17 may participate in Youth Chivalric 
Combat.
Minors aged 16 -- 17 may petition to participant in Adult Chivalric or 
Rapier Combat
following the procedures listed in the appropriate sections of this 
document.

Note the properly authorized under Society and Kingdom procedures.  
Unless there has been a change, Missile Combat authorizations have been 
handled be the MC authorizing marshals.  Not sure about others but down 
this way it means having their armour and the ability to recognize a 
good blow done by a very experienced or authorizing Armoured Combat 
marshal then the MC marshal takes care of the rest to include the 
paperwork.  None were ever required to do a full AC authorization unless 
they wanted to do so.  I have done this with several regional marshals, 
knights and centurions.  Been doing this under the last three Earl 
Marshal's to include in front of all three and never had a complaint or 
word about how I have done them.  Never had one of my authorizations 
rejected that I know off.  Does it need to be clarified in the rules, 
most likely but currently nothing says really how to do it but to follow 
established procedures.
