<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So keep wearing your full gauntlet that way I can
see you wave when you shoot me. </FONT></DIV>

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.
