Sir Kenneth,<BR>
<BR>
It's true. There are a few knights and masters on the Missile Combat list, some of whom are advocating a single society standard and that standard would be tube ammo. In fact some are actually advocating that we go to a single manufacturer!<BR>
<BR>
What is driving this is the fear that a fiberglass shaft will penetrate a blunt and then someone's eye. I and others have been trying to reassure them of the safety of fiberglass shafts when wedded to UHMW blunts. Some have actually come around to a point. Others lofted their opinions and then left. I have to say, a number of the posters on the list (CA proponents and anti-CA types) have been less than courteous. <BR>
<BR>
Duke Lucan has posted an account by one of his squires stating that he was struck below his eye by a blunt-less shaft. So those that dislike CA has an incident to point to. <BR>

Does this have a chance? What is driving this? Lyonel put a pool out to our list to get the opinion of our chivalry on it asking just one question…”do you agree with this?” I don’t expect many of the Ansteorran chivalry to support such an idiotic (sorry…to strong a word?) proposal. I just wanted to find out what anyone else might know about it.</SPAN></FONT></P>
