Also, I think it goes without saying, when choosing a tape color for your shafts, stay away from yellows, as these are reserved for siege projectiles.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Ronald fitz Robert</div><div><br></div></span></div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; "><br></div> <div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "> <div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> John Reuter <jareuter1066@sbcglobal.net><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> "ansteorra-archery@lists.ansteorra.org" <ansteorra-archery@lists.ansteorra.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Monday, February 13, 2012 12:28 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight:

I was informed that we do not need to use any strapping tape on our fiberglass bolts or arrows for combat. Is this correct? Just getting g some clarification before we ruin all our shafts.<br><br>Brian<br><br>Sent from my iPhone<br>_______________________________________________<br>Ansteorra-archery mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Ansteorra-archery@lists.ansteorra.org" href="mailto:Ansteorra-archery@lists.ansteorra.org">Ansteorra-archery@lists.ansteorra.org</a><br>http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-archery-ansteorra.org<br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
