[Archers] New Society TA Rules

[Joe StMartin]

I realize this may sound like a silly quesition but we have 3 references(1) Society Target Archery Rules [dated Oct 2016].  (2) Atlantian Book of Policy section III section 9 supliment [dated Apr 2017] . (3) the Atlantian Target Archery handbook ver 2 [dated Oct 2015].Which book / reference takes precidence over the other? I assume the Atlantian ones (numbers 2 &3) take precidence as long as it complies with society... but ref 2 and 3 while similar, have subtle differences.

I know Sir John conceded somewhat do to my incessant badgering if you will, but there is no supporting evidence that there was ever an incident where someone was injured or even came close to being injured from a broken prod. I know they are trying to be safe and applaud that but it is really a useless rule and now since the “grandfathering” doubt you will ever see it enforced. I remember a very wise Master Siegfried once told me “we already have enough rules, we don’t need to make any more!”   In service,  Janyn    From: Archers [mailto:archers-bounces at seahorse.atlantia.sca.org] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Dorris

Subject: Re: [Archers] New Society TA Rules  Greetings Fellow Archers,  I noted something in the rules that Mungo was kind enough to link that troubled me and wanted more clarification on the subject.The rule reads thus "A. Bows may be made of any suitable material, provided they are judged safe to shoot by the Target Archery Marshal. " 

It is the "suitable material" part that worries me, in regards to someone bringing a PVC bow to the range and then claiming that under this rule they would be allowed to shoot it, because the rule does not say that PVC is not allowed - nor does any part of this section in the Handbook forbid PVC bows.

I know that in Atlantia we generally do not allow any PVC bows onto the ranges because they were at one point deemed unsafe, and I would agree that they are, in addition to not being period.

Has the position on PVC bows changed?

Yours in service,  -Lady Vittoria CavalieriFrom: Archers <archers-bounces at seahorse.atlantia.sca.org> on behalf of Garth Groff <sarahsan at embarqmail.com>

Subject: [Archers] New Society TA Rules  Noble Friends of the Bow:I don't know how I missed this, but there is a new version of the SCA target archery rules linked off our web site. Was there ever a message on this? Well, I'm a lot older than Lord Elvis now, and sometimes miss things.I read through the rules, and most of them seem about the same. I say "about" because some of the rules have been rewritten for clarity. The text is much improved. There are some new rules on crossbows that require coverings for certain types of prods. This rule is grandfathered to exclude weapons already in service.What is new, however, is a section on period archery. I know this had been in the works for a couple of years, and I'm glad it is finally here. I was pleased with most of the rules.You can real the whole ball of wax at http://www.sca.org/officers/marshal/docs/t_archery/target_archery_rules.pdfYours Aye,  Mungo Napier, Period Target Archer   _______________________________________________
