About all I could find on requiring a Armored Combat authorization for
Missile Combat.<br>
<br>
I. Rules of the List<br>
Ansteorra requires that all combatants adhere to the Rules of the Lists
described in Section II of<br>
the SCA Marshal’s Handbook with only the following changes:<br>
Section 11 - I.B.2 { No person shall participate in Official
Combat-Related Activities<br>
(including armored combat, period fencing, and combat archery) outside
of formal training<br>
sessions unless they have been properly authorized under Society and
Kingdom procedures<br>
until he or she has been properly authorized under Society and Kingdom
procedures,<br>
and has signed the appropriate waiver. In witness whereof, the
participant will have,<br>
and be prepared to present to the Crown or Their representative, a valid<br>
Authorization Card.}<br>
No one under the age of sixteen (16) years will be allowed to be a
participant in any<br>
SCA Adult Combat Activity within the Kingdom of Ansteorra. Minors aged
6 – 17 can<br>
participate in Youth Boffer Combat. Minors aged 12 – 17 may participate
in Youth<br>
Rapier Combat. Minors ages 16 – 17 may participate in Youth Chivalric
Combat.<br>
Minors aged 16 – 17 may petition to participant in Adult Chivalric or
Rapier Combat<br>
following the procedures listed in the appropriate sections of this
document.<br>
<br>
Note the properly authorized under Society and Kingdom procedures.
Unless there has been a change, Missile Combat authorizations have been
handled be the MC authorizing marshals. Not sure about others but down
this way it means having their armour and the ability to recognize a
good blow done by a very experienced or authorizing Armoured Combat
marshal then the MC marshal takes care of the rest to include the
paperwork. None were ever required to do a full AC authorization
unless they wanted to do so. I have done this with several regional
marshals, knights and centurions. Been doing this under the last three
Earl Marshal's to include in front of all three and never had a
complaint or word about how I have done them. Never had one of my
authorizations rejected that I know off. Does it need to be clarified
in the rules, most likely but currently nothing says really how to do
it but to follow established procedures. <br>

Really, I would be curious where you are getting that from. Obviously
you are reading the rules somewhat different than I am. The only
Combat Archers that I am aware of that require a Armoured Combat
authorization are the 16-18 year old ones. Care to give us the section
you are quoting from.<br>

<pre wrap="">My understanding is no, in Ansteorra you are not required to have an
Armored Combat authorization to use a _*thrown*_ mace.
Ansteorra has traditionally allowed combat archers to use thrown
weapons in combat. If it that is no longer the case it sure wasn't
well communicated. Therefore my assumption is that Combat Archer are
still allowed to use thrown weapons.

<pre wrap=""><!---->
According to the current rules you have to be authorized in Armored
Combat to fight on the field at all. Since archers are full contact
fighters you are required to be authorized as a fighter before you
become authorized as an archer. So the answer is still yes.
Charles,
Archery Marshal at Large
