There is no assumption, it is fact. The new ruling was placed into effect immediately when it was posted by the Society Combat Archery Marshal. I know that Gothic is just around the corner, I am working hard to get the new standard in place so that we can go forward with this. Please be patient, I know that time is running out but we had no say so in this and we must do what we can.<br>

Northstar Archery (Sir Erika), and they plan to purchase and sell rectangles of
1/4-in closed-cell foam for these retrofits. Sorry if this is a

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The Ruling:<br>
<br>
------------ --------- ---<br>
<br>
Effective immediately by the Society Earl Marshal & the Deputy Society Earl<br>
Marshal for Combat Archery, the following changes to equipment are required<br>
due to repeated incidents of helm penetrations:<br>
<br>
* Combat Archery ammunition may have at most 1" thick padding on the tip<br>
after taping.<br>
<br>
* All UHMW & Siloflex/Rubber Stopper ammunition must have a side wrap of<br>
foam added that brings the total diameter of the blunt to at least 1.5"<br>
after taping. This wrap must extend from the tip to at least 1/2" over the<br>
UHMW or Siloflex itself.<br>
<br>
* All fletches on any arrows, bolts, or thrown weapons can project no<br>
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<br>
(arrows & thrusting) and mass weapons. Ensure that the foam is firm, will<br>
not bend over, returns to shape when compressed, and can not be easily<br>
pushed into a legal helm more than 1/2".<br>
<br>
------------ --------- ------<br>
<br>
The Explanation:<br>
<br>
For those that do not know, there were a couple of incidents of the<br>
foam/tape of UHMW combat arrows touching the face/eyes of people at Gulf<br>
Wars this year. There were more incidents at a West/AnTir war, and at<br>
another event recently. Much discussion has therefore been going on at<br>
Society Level about this potential issue ever since Gulf Wars.<br>
<br>
At Pennsic in the Town Battle on Wednesday, there were 4 incidents of<br>
foam/tape penetrating helms that were reported. Yes, 4 in one battle. Two<br>
of them resulted in minor injury. One was a busted blood vessel in an eye,<br>
the other resulted in a bruise (black eye). All of these penetrations<br>
happened to be UHMW/RubberStopper style ammo. In one case, the rubber<br>
stopper itself had penetrated a bit.<br>
<br>
In all of these cases, the UHMW or Siloflex respectively did it's job and<br>
didn't let any hard parts of the arrow enter the helm. But obviously the<br>
force involved with just the foam/tape, from max poundage bows at close<br>
range, is significant enough to be concerned about.<br>
<br>
At Pennsic, when this happened, CA was cancelled for the next battle<br>
(Mountain Pass) that was scheduled for that day.
Especially because that<br>
battle had been scheduled to be face plate only so it didn't seem to be a<br>
good idea at the moment.<br>
<br>
The MiC Pennsic made a ruling that for Siloflex/Rubber ammo to be allowed<br>
for the rest of pennsic that they would need to add a side wrap. The Local<br>
Wal-Mart was bought out of Camp
Mats, and much taping
happened that night so<br>
that archers could shoot the next day.<br>
<br>
Later in the war, meetings were held since many Kingdom Earl Marshals were<br>
in attendance, as well as myself and the Society Earl Marshal. These issues<br>
were discussed, as well as the fact that Low Profile Thrusting tips & Mass<br>
Weapons depending on their construction can be forced into a helm. Also it<br>
was brought up that there was an incident of a polearm entering a helm in<br>
the Woods Battle and contacting someone's cheek.<br>
<br>
After much discussion, the rulings above were developed. Basically, we<br>
already have a rule that weapons should not be able to enter a helm more<br>
than 1/2", and that people need to be constructing their weapons such that<br>
this doesn't happen, and the marshals ensuring that weapons are done this<br>
way.<br>
<br>
Additionally the other rules were added to ammunition. This is because<br>
ammo travels with such velocity that we need to be extra vilgiant to ensure<br>
that we do not cause any injury. The rules as designed were done<br>
specifically so that they are easy RETROFITS.<br>
<br>
Noone should need to remake any ammunition from scratch. Instead just add<br>
a side wrap of foam overtop of existing ammo, and tape it down good. To<br>
meet the letter of the law, a 1/8" wrap of foam will not be sufficient,<br>
since after taping down, it will compress and be less than 1.5" in<br>
diameter. Therefore two layers of 1/8" foam, or a layer of 1/4" foam
would<br>
need to be added and taped down well.<br>
<br>
Note that this side wrap IS required, you cannot just use bigger diameter<br>
UHMW or Siloflex. The reason is that by adding the sidewrap, you are making<br>
the foam on the tip much stiffer, protecting the edges of the UHMW, etc.<br>
<br>
If archers have more than 1" of foam on the tip, it needs to be taped down<br>
tighter, or a little bit cut off.<br>
<br>
Also in general archers need to think about their arrow tips as thrusting<br>
tips and building them 'solid' like you would a sword tip. Using high<br>
quality dense foam, and/or using oversized foam and compressing it as you<br>
tape it down so that it ends up a very firm tip that doesn't compress much,<br>
especially circumferentially.<br>
<br>

news" is that during the January re-write of the Ansteorra rules, there
are very few changes we have to make to our law. We mostly need to make changes
to our procedures.</span></font></p>

"bad news" is that we require a minimum of 1" of padding in
front of the blunt. With there being no more or less than 1" of padding
in front of the blunt, that makes for a near impossible situation for people to
build, let alone have last for any reasonable time frame after the padding
breaks down.</span></font></p>

<p><font color="#1f497d" face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">With the diameter
extended to 1.5" from 1.25", I think reducing our padding to
Society to comply with this is probably going to be reasonable. Part of the
reason we had 1" of padding in front of the head was to help absorb the
blow into the padding with the small surface area. Going from the Ansteorra
standard to the new Society standard is probably going to give a similar
effect. While the overall volume of padding is less, the surface area that the
energy is being transferred through is much higher.</span></font></p>
