Look people. I can understand that you don't want to let others do stupid stuff with your equipment. I can completely agree. BUT..lets face the facts.
A: Non-reusable missle weapons will only end up becoming a field full of single fired ammo casings good in the next round for people to trip and break.. cause once you make them single fire.. people will only carry more.
B: The Fact your an archer and you have your own gear.. That is truly the epicness of being an archer. But what sucks? when they have people with lesser gear, or none. I have been told time and again.. some by those posting here.. this sport is neigther fair.. nor even. And in order to do better.. we must practice harder. Well.. there are some things you just cannot do a thing about as an Archer, no matter how hard you practice. These are things ALL Archers have had to deal with since the "game" started in the 1970's. Why is it we're discussing this 3 decades later when it has worked since before 90% of us were even members?
Seriously. You don't want people to abuse your gear. Don't bring out. That Includes, Armor, Shields, Weapons.. Torques ( SP?) Jewelry.. cellphones and cigarettes ( #1 victim of reds in 2008 due to being left in pockets..)
This is Foam Fighting. You simply cannot regulate what everyone else is doing. As Snotbelly said.. "Heralds are already drawn thin enough."
The Rules have been fine since the game started.. with minor tweaks that made sense ( weapon weight ) but other stuff over looked.. ( shield weight. ).
And the issue is.. "re-usable arrows".
I think we should be focusing on other things more important, than crying about broken arrows.. which you knew was expensive before you even made them.
So does it suck that you spent 100$ on arrows just for someone else to break one or two.. Yup. Welcome to Archery. Suck it up.
If I had a dollar back for every arrow someone else broke in my time as an archerin eigther foam battle sport/game.. I could Armor up Mordor for a week long event.
Sorry people. But I'm afraid I have to agree with the other side.
All missle weapons re-usable for simplicity.
Did we forget the K.I.S.S rule?
What do you mean my Freaking Signature is too long!
