<p><font face="Arial">Noble Friends of the Bow:</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">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.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">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.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">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.</font></p>
