<p dir="ltr">Several comments/questions. I wonder what the Pennsic rules will be. "Not being period"- plastic is not a period material, but neither is fiberglass. While I'm still suspicious about PVC safety wise , in material and construction by tyros, where
you don't know if they burned/overcooked it in the flattened/bent parts, and the notion that somebody spent 10$ and 10 hours to outshoot me my and my 400$ bow...., a PVC bow can look far more period than any samick sage takedown. Someone showed at Ymir last
year with a PVC bow that I nearly passed.</p>

<div dir="ltr">PVC bows are still prohibited in Atlantia. The <b><u>Atlantian</u> Target Archer Handbook V.2</b> covers it with:

<p>Greetings Fellow Archers,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I noted something in the rules that Mungo was kind enough to link that troubled me and wanted more clarification on the subject.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p>The rule reads thus "<span>A. Bows may be made of any suitable material, provided they are judged safe to shoot by the Target Archery Marshal. "
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Has the position on PVC bows changed?<br>
<br>
Yours in service,</span></p>
<p><span><br>

<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>
