Uhhh,  Yer right.  How did I screw that up.  Mebbe just wishful thinking 
on my part..

I don't know.  Details regarding CA inspections have not been  not been 
provided. 

A big difference in the CA inspections and the rest of the the 
marshallate inspections is that we log the details every bow and 
crossbow that comes through inspection and we log the details of how 
many arrows of each type come through inspection. 

At the end of war we can tell you the total number and what the ratio of 
bows to crossbows was.  We can tell you what the low, high, and average 
poundages are.  We can tell you how the bows and crossbows were divided 
up between the archers from the various kingdoms.  We can tell you how 
many of each type of ammo that was used and where it came from.  etc. etc.

We have been collecting the data for about 6 years now.  We are the only 
significant sized war that collects that data.  The data has been VERY 
valuable in making rules decisions for Gulf War, for Ansteorra, and for 
the SCA as a whole.   I think it would be a serious loss if we were no 
longer able to gather the data in a reliable fashion.  As far as I know 
the CA Marshals from the Gulf Wars principle kingdoms have not decided 
that the data will simply no longer be collected.
