>> 
>> 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.

>> 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
