  It was my understanding of the IKAC rules what the bow is made of doesn't matter so long as the bow has no center cut in it. I am unable to confirm that due to the fact I can't seem to get to the IKAC rules for some reason. I don't suppose you could post the relevant portion of those rules, could you?

    This question was in regards to Period Shooting and Scoring for IKAC and Royal Rounds and for Period shoots. For open shoots I would allow them no problem. I also tell people that I allow carbon and aluminum arrows to be shot, just not to be scored or to compete for a title.

      Are you asking for "period" shoots or for all shoots?  For regular shoots most bows are allowed as long as they have no stabilizers and or sighting devices.  I would not allow any of the really newer bow with the magnesium risers etc.  I have seen modern longbows, ie. laminated wood and fiberglass limbs allowed for "period" shooting.
      A period Magyar or Mongol  horsebow , due to its laminated layered construction would have
      a distinct advantage over a standard longbow, the longbow being a self bow.  The horsebow was fatster and had better cast.  So for me I would allow it.  I am not currently an archery marshal in Ansteorra, however I was Lieutenant General of archers for the Principality of Drachenwald and I allowed the horsebows.  Cosmetically they look more period also than some bows being shot.
      That's my take on the question.

        This brings up a good question: Modern Horse Bows. Wooden riser, no cut out arrow rest, limbs are covered with leather, BUT the limbs are fiberglass. Are they allowed? 


        I have not been allowing them because with the limbs being fiberglass they are gaining an unfair advantage over a longbow made of wood. a 50# fiberglass bow will shoot fast than a 50# wood limb bow.


        So how is this handled in other kingdoms? I would prefer that we move together and try to get the rules so that they are the same.

          OK,

          I believe its the symbol that you want, who really cares how or where you wear it?  Too hot?  Tabard is out.  Sash would be hot too.  Dont wear a belt?  Tie it around your arm.  You are shooting too and it would be in your way?  Tie it around your leg.  Wear a dress or a tunic?  Make a cool headband that goes around your hat.  Dont wear a hat?  Wear it around your noggin, congratulations you are now a pirate.  Dont want that?  OK....obviously you didnt want to wear one...moving on.

          Simply put there are many many ways to wear this thing, you have 5 parts of your body to attach it to aside from your torso that doesnt involve a lot of cloth making you overheat or overtly modifying your persona.  Find one and put it there.

          Now...to make it obvious...Black with a big ole yellow arrowhead works quite well if you are wearing light colors.  wearing darks?  Yellow with a big ole black arrowhead on it.  Just dont wear it to court and the heralds wont even ask what the heck that thing is.

          The point of all of this?  a plain black or yellow scarf with a big ole arrowhead of the opposite color on it.  Easy to make, goes darn near anywhere you need it to.  Tie it to your bow when its time to leave so you dont lose it.

          Simple, easy to make, inexpensive

          Enjoy,

          Karl Thorgeirsson
