Re: Legal At Gulf Wars! SCA CA Bows $20

These were not legal at Gulf Wars last year nor will I suspect they be legal anytime soon on the Combat field.

I like them both equally, 3 Rivers usually has better selections and Kustom King usually has better customer service, not that 3 Rivers is bad.

Re: No PVC Bows in CA At Pennsic

I was trying to find a picture with my friend Gordon who inspired me to make mine but I can't find one. I'd agree with everyone else mentioned, being softer and not steel when they go...
