Thanks, that confirms my thoughts on the issue. Just that one of the requirements that Pug put out to be Full Contact Combat Archer was to have two Archer's Gauntlets on both hands. I knew about rules where either full or Archer's gauntlets could be wore, which was left up to the CA.
I do NOT wave with my full gauntlet, if I do then it is with the bow as well, I usually wave with my Archer's Gauntlet - you know the one with the next arrow to be shot at some bore fighter and/or another combat archer. :)

Hi Mike, to clarify. Per Society rules adopted by Ansteorra. A archer may wear a full gauntlet with a archers gauntlet with a longbow. They may also wear two archers gauntlets if they choose to. Crossbows can wear either set. Warning expect to be questioned at least once while having your armour inspected. Not all marshals are aware of this. I know I was questioned at GW this year by a Meridian knight and was lucky that Duke Patrick Michael was there to let him know of the change.
So keep wearing your full gauntlet that way I can see you wave when you shoot me.

Hi,
I am a full contact CA and I wear a Archer's Gauntlet on my string hand a full Gauntlet on my bow hand. I shoot a 30 lb., recurve.
I question the statement or requirement below:
b. General discussion regarding on-field specifics that the fighter
should know with regards to combat archery
i. Archer Gauntlets on both hands
When did the requirement to wear Archer's Gauntlets on both hands go into effect?
The last time, I read CA rules, a person could wear either a full gauntlet and a Archer's Gauntlet or wear both Archer's Gauntlets on both hands.

What level of experience are you looking for someone to be in the regional office Pug??
I expect them to be capable of being an authorizing marshal for at least
target or combat archery and working towards the other. If a person does
not take the incentive (which may require travel) to address these issues,
I am not going to give them the position.
Btw, here as outline of what I expect for the different types of
combatants and marshals. Maybe this will help. I have not come
up with a formal test such as is required to be a chivalric authorizing
marshal *yet*.
The sad thing is having to put in the requirment regarding reporting,
but it is something that is a requirement and is difficult to get
compliance with.
