[Moo] Combat Archery

[Lisa Mitchell]

If Meric can help you 3Rivers Archery does decent mail order. They have a
Titan Youth Recurve, 60" length and 30#. The catalog doesn't give a draw
length. Price: $41.99 (extra shipping charges required because of the
length).

I've decided to go with 30lb pull and Baldar blunted arrows. I don't really
like what I've seen of golf tubes.  Unfortunately youth bows in sporting
good stores in my area are made to look like daddys hunting bow. So of
course they also have all those nasty pullys and contraptions. I have turned
to the internet and am attempting to get ahold of Meric Archery in upstate
NY. They have a 60" bow with a 28" draw but their max pull is 34lbs. That
just tops the scales, and would be unusable for SCA combat archery. This guy
is a scadian so I am hoping he will have one with 30lb max.

Having moved from the middle kingdom and somewhat active in combat archery I
can tell you what I know.  As far as I know there is no heavy bow option any
more.  It depends on what type of arrows you use.  If you use the fiber
glass shafted arrows, then I believe you are limited to 30 pounds max
(please correct me if I'm wrong).  If you are using the golf tubes or
siloflex shafts, you are limited to a 50 pound max bow.  Regardless of what
type of arrows you use, I would recommend getting a fiberglass bow as it is
much more durable in combat situations.  If you have any other questions,
feel free to post them.  :)

Hello Stierbach,

  I am interested in giving Combat Archery a whirl. I want to pick up an
inexpensive bow for this. I have heard a couple of conflicting regulations
and I thought I would ask before I went out and purchased something. Is it
true that there is no longer a Heavy Bow option and that one may no longer
use anything with more than a 30 lb pull in combat archery? I checked the
Archery Marshal page on SCA dot Org but it hasn't been updated in a year. I
understand there have been some changes in regulations in that time.
