[Hellsgate] Archery Equipment/this weekend archery event

[Patrick R]

Ok you get an answer to your question and a chance for me to advertise this weekend's event in Austin. Come out and join us for archery since we will be bringing equipment for everyone to use. In the future please feel free to come join us in Austin for our sunday practices. If you bring a group I can arrange to be there earlier for you.
 
For combat archery you are allowed a longbow up to 30 pounds at 28 inches. A word of warning is that your bow will be tested to 28 inches so if you have a bow with a 30 pound at a max pull of 26 inches they will pull your bow to 28 inches and break it.

I believe that the max draw weight for combat archery is 30#.  Any weight bow can be effectively used for Target Archery.  30lbs is uasually a good weight that crosses over well.  A 30# bow can reach the ranges that are used for Target Archery.
I hope that helps.  Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Yours in Service
