Combat Archery Authorization Process and Steps
The combat archery authorization process in the West Kingdom is a bit more demanding than that of
heavy weapons. Here in the West Kingdom, it is required that a candidate for authorization pass both a
verbal interview and a practical/observed test of skill in actual combat.
Verbal test includes the following:
- Rules of the "List"
- Combat archery rules (pages 22-28 of the West Kingdom Combat Manual)
- Review of the Society Combat Archery rules
- Kill convention (how you kill and how you are killed)
- Arrow/bolt construction and safety inspection
Authorization Steps:
- About 1-2 hour review of the bullet points above
- Review of arrow construction (you must bring arrows that you have constructed to the authorization)
- Inspection of your arrows/bots and bow or crossbow (these items may be borrowed equipment)
- Observation of behavior on the battlefield
February 2008:
The new combat archery rules are due out in the middle of March. I am not expecting any changes that will
impact bolt or arrow design---so no worries!
