I got hit with an arrow before I took a swing with my sword. Yeah that happened a lot in the Midieval era.

All this safety crap takes all the realizm out of the battle, the arrows should be designed to be able to do everything that a normal arrow can do with the exception of penetration on impact and they should be made so the person being hit will definitely feel it i hear that alot of times the melee fighter won't respond when hit , they are allowed to deliver very hard blows to an archer so the archer should be able to drill em fricken hard with an arrow perhaps then archers will get more respect. I also hear there's alot of bitching and whinning when fighters get taken out with an arrow do they bitch when taken out with a sword...no . I will do everything I can to campaign for more realizm and heavier bows maybe 60lbs with smaller lighter , harder points so there will be no mistaking when you get hit . You can about see the point getting taken out by some piece of fluff shot from a 35lb bow would tend to piss you off .

If you don't understand the importance of safety, you don't belong on the field. Period.
