<TD vAlign=top>One last, and my only question. The second requirement is that the side wrap foam padding must extend from the tip to a minimum of 1/2 inch over the UHMW itself. is this from the leading edge of the UHMW or the shaft edge? <BR><BR>--- On <B>Tue, 8/19/08, Paul Thorne <I><paul.v.thorne@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:<BR>

<DIV id=EC_yiv1288766835>Greetings,<BR><BR><BR> As of this afternoon we have decided the path that Ansteorra will take with the new Society Rules concerning ammunition construction. Effective immediately all UHMW cored blunts will require a minimum of 1/2" padding and a maximum of 1" of padding. Once again here is the announcement from the Society Combat Archery Marshal;<BR><BR><B>Effective immediately</B> 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:
<UL>
<LI>Combat Archery ammunition may have at most 1" thick padding on the tip after taping.</LI>
<DIV></DIV>
<LI><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">All UHMW</SPAN> & Siloflex/Rubber Stopper ammunition <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">must have a side wrap of foam added</SPAN> 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.</LI>
<DIV></DIV>
<LI>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.</LI>
<DIV></DIV>
<LI>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".</LI></UL>
<DIV>________________________________________________________<BR>Siegfried Sebastian Faust<BR>Society Combat Archery Marshal</DIV><BR><BR><BR> A big concern is that Gulf War requirements currently for CA is 3/4" of padding. If you plan on attending Gulf War, or even sending some arrows/bolts to Gulf Wars I would make sure that your ammunition passes that standard. They will be legal here and will be legal there. If Gulf War standards change I will send out a notification to the appropriate lists. Thank you all for your patience in letting us see this through.<BR><BR>In Service,<BR><BR>HL Jean-Paul de Calmont, CAO<BR>Kingdom Missile Marshal, Ansteorra<BR><BR><BR></DIV><PRE>_______________________________________________
