<br>
Thank you for responding.<br>
<br>
I am sure that the archery marshall, Lord Ironwyrm, did not intentionally
mean to be so curt in his reply. There is a good possibility that he was
not aware of the previous posts, thus unaware of the entire history involved.
E-mail is a very poor means of communicating ideas and thoughts from one
person to another.<br>
<br>
I do hope that you will reconsider and continue to your interest and participating
in one of the finest outdoor art forms that I know and love doing. <br>

the tone here. <br><br>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. <br><br>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.<br><br><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ironwyrm@juno.com">ironwyrm@juno.com</a> wrote:<br><blockquote cite="mid:20010227.013937.-32501.0.ironwyrm@juno.com" type="cite"><pre wrap="">Thank you for responding to this good gentle's question your Excellency. <br>I was away competing with my mundane dart league this night.<br><br>No Mike, we shall not be having combat archers and fighters mixing it up<br>at this kind of a demo or using live steel points of any kind.
