None

****************************************************

These are all of the current APD experimental designs that I’m aware of currently being tested anywhere in the SCA. If you know of any that are currently being tested that are not listed above please let me know, ASAP. Before any "experimental" Missile weapon/arrow/new APD/etc gets used or tested using live targets.melees, etc at any Society event, it needs to be approved by me, the Deputy Society Marshal for Combat Archery. If you have any questions, please let me know. Please also review the rules for experimental weapons.
