<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Are you asking for "period" shoots or
for all shoots? For regular shoots most bows are allowed as long
as they have no stabilizers and or sighting devices. I would not
allow any of the really newer bow with the magnesium risers etc.
I have seen modern longbows, ie. laminated wood and fiberglass
limbs allowed for "period" shooting.<br>
A period Magyar or Mongol horsebow , due to its laminated layered
construction would have<br>
a distinct advantage over a standard longbow, the longbow being a
self bow. The horsebow was fatster and had better cast. So for
me I would allow it. I am not currently an archery marshal in
Ansteorra, however I was Lieutenant General of archers for the
Principality of Drachenwald and I allowed the horsebows.
Cosmetically they look more period also than some bows being shot.<br>
That's my take on the question.<br>

Wooden riser, no cut out arrow rest, limbs are covered with

</div>
<div>I have not been allowing them because with the limbs being
fiberglass they are gaining an unfair advantage over a longbow
made of wood. a 50# fiberglass bow will shoot fast than a 50#
wood limb bow.</div>

OK,<br>
<br>
I believe its the symbol that you want, who really cares how
or where you wear it? Too hot? Tabard is out. Sash would
be hot too. Dont wear a belt? Tie it around your arm. You
are shooting too and it would be in your way? Tie it around
your leg. Wear a dress or a tunic? Make a cool headband
that goes around your hat. Dont wear a hat? Wear it around
your noggin, congratulations you are now a pirate. Dont
want that? OK....obviously you didnt want to wear
one...moving on.<br>
<br>
Simply put there are many many ways to wear this thing, you
have 5 parts of your body to attach it to aside from your
torso that doesnt involve a lot of cloth making you overheat
or overtly modifying your persona. Find one and put it
there.<br>
<br>
Now...to make it obvious...Black with a big ole yellow
arrowhead works quite well if you are wearing light colors.
wearing darks? Yellow with a big ole black arrowhead on
it. Just dont wear it to court and the heralds wont even
ask what the heck that thing is.<br>
<br>
The point of all of this? a plain black or yellow scarf
with a big ole arrowhead of the opposite color on it. Easy
to make, goes darn near anywhere you need it to. Tie it to
your bow when its time to leave so you dont lose it.<br>
<br>
Simple, easy to make, inexpensive<br>
<br>
Enjoy,<br>
