[Namron] FW: [Ansteorra-announce] Rapier Combat Archers for Fall Melees

[Terry Daniels]

Info on some Combat Archery,
I know there has been lots of talk about this, thought I'd pass this on if 
anyone is interested and missed the original post.  Remember COMBAT ARCHERY  
is not the same thing as the normal TARGET ARCHERY.

In Service to Namron & the Dream
Lord Terrance Daniel
Knight's Marshal
