ST - Fighter practice March 4

[Reece Manley]

Mike,

Thanks for asking the question as it was confusing.  However, the curt reply
of the archery marshall has tampened my interest in participating in the art
a great deal.

  This caught me out of left field. I do not understand the tone here.

  To mewhen combat archery is mention as being brought onto the field of
play, thenit is usual being employed against live opponents and not static
targets. The question needed to asked concerning will fighters and archers
would be on the field and actually mixing it up. The earlier e-mails did not
stated the details, and so I asked the Question.

  And by the nature of combat archery, the points involved are Always some
type ofblunts and NOT field points. I do know the difference between the
two, although I do not shoot field points at this time. I do study and
strive to perfect the artsof combat archery on and off the field as defined
by both the SCA and theKingdom of Ansteorra.

Thank you for responding to this good gentle's question your Excellency. I
was away competing with my mundane dart league this night.No Mike, we shall
not be having combat archers and fighters mixing it upat this kind of a demo
or using live steel points of any kind.  Safetyalways being our first
concern any such actions could not be controlledand would be an extreme
hazard to all in the area.  Although I have notyet seen the site I suspect
that will be the case and that is how we aregoing to proceed.  A bit of
caution and common sense are always in order!We shall be giving
demonstrations of shooting skills in armor at statictargets in front of an
arrow catching net using combat archery equipmentonly.  Also demonstrating
skills in fletching, combat arrow & boltmaking, and constructing Flemish
strings.    Lets be clear on thi!
s matter and take note, as the Archery Marshal of theBarony of the Steppes I
do reserve the right and have the final say whatwe will and will not do
concerning static and combat archery within theSteppes.  If the safety of
our archers, fighters, and/or spectators isever compromised, I will halt
that event and pull the authorization cardsof whomever is responsible for
that act!  Should you have any further questions on this matter you may
contact meprivately at ironwyrm at juno.com which is clearly posted on the
insidecover of the Steppes Letter.In service,Lord William IronwyrmMarshal of
