Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I can handle the full rapier
<BR>> gear. Now point me toward some rapier combat archery that I can
use <BR>> these arrows in. I would personally rather shoot these arrows
in a <BR>> rapier scenario than to deal with the APDs in heavy
combat.<BR>> <BR>> Jaque <BR>> <BR>> -----Original

This is basically a<BR>> move towards the mainstream or middile to level the
playing field a<BR>> bit so that no one kingdom has a great
advantage.<BR>> <BR>> Bear in mind that the use of Rapier armor in the
IKCAC is sort of<BR>> view as unsporting by other kingdoms. There
are no standards for<BR>> Combat Archery on the rapier field at the society
level and<BR>> Ansteorra is basically the only kingdom that has ever really
done<BR>> Rapier CA.<BR>> <BR>> The IKCAC rules say:<BR>> <BR>>
"PROTECTIVE GEAR:<BR>> <BR>> The archers must shoot while wearing at least
the minimum protection<BR>> required by SCA rules for combat archery, except
the requirements<BR>> for groin and kidney protection are waived."<BR>>
<BR>> Since there are no SCA rules for combat archery on the rapier
field<BR>> it is easy to see why many kingdoms contend that it is not
allowed<BR>> in the IKCAC and that it is unsporting to try and get away with
it.<BR>> <BR>> Now, if you did choose to shoot your IKCAC in rapier gear
then you<BR>> would need to be wearing full list legal rapier armor minus
groin<BR>> protection. <BR>> <BR>> Regards,<BR>> <BR>> --
