             Interkingdom Archery Competitions
        
 
        The sixteenth and seventh annual shootings of the 
Interkingdom Archery Competition and the Interkingdom 
Combat Archery Competitions will start April 1 and end 
on a NEW DATE DEC. 1.
        
        There has been some question if one piece flexible 
finger type arrow rests are allowed by the rules in the 
competitions.  The answer is that they are allowed. 
        
        Those archers shooting crossbow in the IKAC must 
make sure that their score sheet includes: the style of 
crossbow, period or modern and the number of arrows shot 
in each speed end. 
        
        There is a possible  change being considered for 
next years IKAC.  This is the changing of the 
Traditional Longbow division to a Traditional division, 
similar to the Cheshire Challenge.  It would be open to 
longbows and recurves of any material and period style 
crossbows.  There would be no weight limit.  The only 
arrow rests allowed would be the shelf, hand or an 
attached rest of period style and of period materials.  
No sighting marks would be allowed.  Crossbows would be 
allowed only a rear sight.  Plastic arrow nocks would be 
allowed for the first year only as would non period 
nocking points of metal.  The target face for the 
Traditional division might be changed to a N.F.A.A. 24 
inch black hunter spot target, which is closer in 
appearance to some of the period targets. 
        
        In the second year, only self arrow nocks or those 
reinforced with period materials would be allowed. In 
following years restrictions might be made on bow types 
and materials allowed. This would only be done after 
soliciting opinions and with a seasons warning.
        
        Those that do not wish to shoot in the new 
Traditional division will still be able to shoot in the 
Open or Crossbow divisions.
        
        I will be posting IK scores at the end of each 
month on the Rialto on Internet.  You may send letters 
or submit scores to me by Email.
        
        In order to encourage the construction of more 
period equipment, I am trying to locate sources of 
medieval European style arrowheads: bodkins, broadheads, 
target points, etc.  I wish to compile a list of such 
suppliers for distribution.  If you know of any sources 
please let me know.
        
        For copies of the IKAC or IKCAC rules, contact your 
kingdom archery officer. Or send a S.A.S.E.(legal size) 
with 29 cents postage for the IKAC rules or 52 cents for 
both to the Keeper of the IKAC and IKCAC:  Sir Jon Fitz-
Rauf, c/o John R. Edgerton, 7662 Wells Ave., Newark, CA.
