Combat Archery has asked me to pass on the following announcement. I don't
have any additional information or explanation for it at this time, but if I
receive any, I will pass it on. Note that the older type Baldar Blunts are
still legal under these new requirements, but that the newer Baldar Egg blunts
are not, unless they have been modified. No approved modification methods
have been announced yet.<BR><BR>In Service to Atlantia,<BR></FONT><FONT lang=0

FAMILY="SANSSERIF">)<BR>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>Due
to problems and concerns with combat archery blunts partially penetrating helms
1/2" or more the following rule will be effective April 20th, 2003:<BR><BR>Any
domed CA blunt MUST reach a minimum 1" in diameter at 1/4" distance from the tip
of the blunt. All blunts must be the full 1 1/4" diameter at a maximum distance
of 1/2" from the tip. <BR><BR>The Baldar Egg blunts will not be legal on
the combat field without approved modification to increase the front diameter of
the blunt. Any modifications developed for these blunts must be tested using the
following three tests;<BR><BR>1. Cram Test<BR>2. Drop Test<BR>3. Shot into the
faceplate of a helm test.<BR><BR>The results of these tests must be sent to your
Kingdom Earl Marshal and/or Kingdom Combat Archery Marshal and the Deputy
Society Marshal for Combat Archery, for final approval.<BR><BR>If there are any
questions, please let me know,<BR><BR>THL Tessa the Huntress, Deputy Society
Marshal for Combat Archery<BR>tessathehuntress@earthlink.net<BR><BR><BR>**This
ruling will be posted on the Society Marshals page in an appendix to the missile
combat rules, until the missile combat handbook gets rewritten and
updated.</FONT> </FONT></BODY></HTML>
