[Ansteorra-missile] [Fwd: [Ansteorra-archery] New Combat Archery Rule affecting Egg Baldar Blunts]

[meggiddo at netzero.net]

This is a thread that is going around about Combat Archery on the
Ansteorra-Archery list which really belongs on this list -
Ansteorra-Missile list instead.

This is the purpose in the first place for creating the
Ansteorra-Missile list, a separate list to discuss Combat Archery
related issues without dragging those archers who are only interest in
and wish to only discuss "static" archery.

I have not respond to this threat due to time, I am now ready to do so.
And it will be posted on this list and not on the Ansteorra-Archery
list.

Although cheaper than a lawsuit it is getting way too expensive and difficult to be a combat archer (maybe that is the intent?).  I reckon the same is now going to apply to the back end of the arrow as well and we will have to revisit that issue too?
