style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>One thing that I did find rather
interesting is that there are a number of folks who would like to restrict rate
of fire, especially from crossbows. This includes outlawing
'belly-cocking." As most of the combat crossbowmen and women I know do
some sort of what I would call 'belly-cocking,' This caught my attention.
Apparently certain factions believe that this causes a crossbowman to be able
to reload and fire at an 'unacceptable' rate of fire. It has been brought up,
however, that the rate of fire they have been discussing is historically
accurate. There hasn't been a lot more said about that. These same folks would
like to have a restriction in amounts of ammo available to archers and
crossbows. Boy, wouldn't Henry V have loved someone to restrict the number of
arrows that his archers were able to shoot at <st1:place w:st="on">Agincourt</st1:place>?
Jeeze! Sounds like a bunch of disgruntled Frenchmen to me!<br>
<br>
Anyway, this onslaught really caught me by surprise as I had just joined the
SCA Combat Archery list the day all this started. I've been getting
about 6 digests a day with up to 25 messages per digest. A little overwhelming,
to say the least. I am hoping it slows down a bit.<br>
<br>
Sir Kenneth, I was actually thinking of emailing you about all this 'stuff'. We
have several knights in Ansteorra that are CA friendly so I don't think that
the issue is that great here. As Iaen said, most of this discontent is from the
easternmost reaches of the Knowne World. Hopefully as more of them become aware
of the new rules for CA, they can stop running around screeching about the sky
falling. I guess they live too close to Wall Street. <img width=19 height=19

Sir Kenneth, as it stands right now I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Quite a bit of gum flapping by some. Quite a bit of insult flying early
on and somewhat still. Some really good talks about some things.
Those are mostly about crowd safety and netting on the sidelines. Sir
Omarad came on the list and told all we can discuss away but any changes would
have to go through the Kingdom marshalletes and up the chain of command.
He made it pretty clear any CA changes asked for would have to go through the
SCAM before anything got to him.<br>
<br>
Sir Lyonel has actually been fairly supportive of the CA situation.
Surprised the hell out of me about that. He is mainly wondering why we
have such ridiculous rules for the archers. You might want to pop him an
email and get his stance for yourself. I think as far as I can tell he is
the only knight from Ansteorra that has spoken up in the discussion.
There have been several others (mostly from the western kingdoms) who have
spoken up for CA also. Most of the dissenters seem to be from the eastern
seaboard kingdoms. <br>
<br>
That is my view on what has been happening so far. Lots of wind and not
much else.<br>
