<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>The “good 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>That being said, the “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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Okay, I see a small problem with this announcement.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good idea, but there's just a discrepancy here
that I'd like cleared up.<br>
<br>
In your statement, you say that all Uhmw and rubber stopper blunts must have a
sleeve that extends the size out to 1.5 inches... and yet, in the first
paragraph, you state that combat archey may not exceed 1 inch.<br>
<br>
Ummm... a little clarification would be nice on this itme.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
