from the fiberglass "long" bows that I have seen most have built out handles and there for are NOT period regardless of material.

Kool, just making sure. Thanks for your help. It looks like several recommendations are going to go forward to the keeper of the IKAC for recommended rule changes and since we are basing the Royal Round off of those they will be the same.
The change would allow horsebows with fiberglass limbs that are covered to be allowed as Period Handbows. Longbows made from fiberglass would still be in the Open Handbow Division. I am also asking why simple range markings on Period Longbow limbs are not allowed when ample evidence shows that they were used.

I agree with you we need clarification of the rules. I thought that's what we were trying to do by discussing it. I wasn't arguing against it. I was arguing for the simplest solution.

easier to get people to do it when the rules are clear and concise. Not sure why there is a resistance to getting a clarification on the rules and having everyone use the same guidelines?

Kist out of curiosity, is there even enough people turning in period IKAC or RR scores to even be concerned about this? If not then maybe we need to be more lenient on the matter.

Well, if you consider the cross bow rules it says the prod can be of any material. A glass prod is faster than a steel one but we allow that. I think we can all agree that it is abundantly clear that the big concern is the center cut risers not the materials the bow is made of.

Rules have been posted on this, the problem is they are subject to interpretation.
You can go to: http://www.scores-sca.org/public/scores_rules.php?R=10&Shoot=65
There are 2 sentences that cause problems. one says you can use modern materials the other says you can't gain an unfair advantage. If you use fiberglass and it shoots faster you are gaining an unfair advantage. Also if you are using fiberglass and all it says is to cover it, then why not get an all fiberglass bow and cover it and use it?

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
