Title:
Half Draw Marking on Arrows
Current Rule, as written today, with Rules of Play page numbers for reference. (If Applicable):
(Pg 16,17)
1. The maximum limit for a bow’s pull is 35 pounds
with a maximum 28” draw length.
4. At 20’ or less bows must be no more than half drawn.
Proposed change, as you would see it written:
Under Shafts (Pg 16)
{5. All arrows must have something marking a 14" draw. This marking must be of a contrasting color to the rest of the arrow shaft.}
Reason this change would benefit Amtgard, as part of the V8 Rules:
This change will make it easier for reeves and other players to spot those who draw incorrectly. And as an added deterrent to overdrawing within 20 feet it will make players less likely to hurt others with their arrows.
A common mistake players make is drawing from over half when within 20 feet. With arrows being the most dangerous equipment our game has to offer, safety and regulation is of the highest concern.
