<DIV>I also have a couple or three dozen of the old wooden arrows with Markland tips but no APDs. Aren't they still legal as is for Rapier combat archery since full mesh face protection is being worn?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since we got the house last year at about the time we'd normally shoot the IKCAC, I didn't go check the lastest ruligs. But, are wood combat arrows, if you still have them, still legal? Or have they finally expired? I couldn't remember if there was a cut off date on them or not.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN , THE CROSS BOWS HAVE A BIG ADVANTAGE OVER THE BABY COMBAT BOWS UNLESS YOUR ON A TREELESS FIELD . WE HAD TO SHOOT SO HIGH TO GET THE ARROW 50 YARDS , THAT IT WAS HITTING THE TOPS OF TREES ON THE WAY DOWN AND DEFLECTING FROM THE TARGET .</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I think that maybe now that the yardages have been reduced there may be a crossbow advantage, maybe. I thin kthe advantage is actually going to be to whoever practices the most. Personally I think that handbows still have an advantage at longer ranges because the arrows are more stable in flight and I think at extreme ranges you can hit more with the handbows. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>ALSO , HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER WHICH SET OF DISTANCES WE ARE SUPPOSED TO USE ??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I JUST USED THE DISTANCES PRINTED ON THE SCORE SHEETS.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>IN THE POSTED RULES , </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>THE WRITTEN NUMBERS ( FIFTY YARDS ) DON'T MATCH THE # NUMBERS ( 40YARDS )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>AND AT TIMES THEY BOTH DIFFER FROM THE DISTANCE ON THE SCORE SHEET.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Both the scoresheet and the rules online say 10, 20, 30, and 40 yards. The yardages were reduced in 2003.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Also remember that the new rules require you to use 1.25" diameter minimum blunts (no more bird blunts) and your thin shafted arrows must have APDs. Basically you gotta use arrows that are combat legal in Ansteorra.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You can actally wear less armor now than ya used to because now you can wear 2 half-gauntlets. 2 half-gauntlets are combat legal for archers. So minimum armor for the IKCAC would be</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Helm</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Gorget</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Elbows </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Half Gauntlets</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Knees</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So no Groin or kidney protection is required. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Also note that at the Society level forearm protection is not required and therefore it is not required in the IKCAC. Forearm protection IS required in Ansteorra for combat.</FONT></DIV>
