These equipment standards are reworded from the Society Target Archery Marshal's Handbook (October 2016), and Society Thrown Weapons Marshal's Handbook (October 2016)

General standards

This rewords the section on general equipment to highlight that period archery is actually the goal, and that it is up to the marshal in charge of the shoot to decide what equipment they will allow in the competition. Modern equipment is essentially a concession to having more people participating.

Arrows and Bolts Exemption: Children can use non-wood arrows with plastic vanes in practice and competition. If you are a new adult archer, until you can get your own wooden arrows, you can use non-wood arrows with plastic vanes in practices, but not in competitions.

We are allowed to make some exemptions from the Society standards, and so we have allowed children to use arrows which are more durable, and for adults who already own some equipment (eg from belonging to an archery club) to use what they have until they know better. Modern aluminium or carbon fibre arrows have an advantage over wood arrows, so shouldn't be allowed in competition amongst adults.
