<div dir="ltr">Greetings Fellow Combat Archers of Ansteorra,<br><br><br> As some are aware during this recent Pennsic War a Society Wide Ruling has been put out and it is effective immediately. Obviously with our Fall Melee season just around the corner this is going to place some undue stress in getting our ammunition up to speed rather quickly. I know there are questions and we are doing our best to get them resolved as soon as possible. Please bear with us as we work out how this is going to effect our rule set. I will post any additional changes as soon as we work them out. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask me. Here is the official announcement from the Society Combat Archery Marshal;<br>
<br>Effective immediately by the Society Earl Marshal & the Deputy
Society Earl Marshal for Combat Archery, the following changes to
equipment are required due to repeated incidents of helm penetrations:<br>
<br>* Combat Archery ammunition may have at most 1" thick padding on the tip after taping.<br><br>*
All UHMW & Siloflex/Rubber Stopper ammunition must have a side wrap
of foam added that brings the total diameter of the blunt to at least
1.5" after taping. This wrap must extend from the tip to at least 1/2"
over the UHMW or Siloflex itself.<br>
<br>* All fletches on any arrows, bolts, or thrown weapons can project no further than 1/2" from the shaft, or must be 1.5" thick.<br><br>*
NOTE: All Marshals need to be rigorous in their inspections of all
tips (arrows & thrusting) and mass weapons. Ensure that the foam
is firm, will not bend over, returns to shape when compressed, and can
not be easily pushed into a legal helm more than 1/2".<br>
