You are correct - combat archers are "light" archers only,
no Yeomans.  I for one got into combat archery because I wanted to fight
but knew I couldn't pick up sword and shield, and do well in it.  I think
this opens up the field for a lot of people in combat.  I would hate to see
Yeoman archers come in to play, but If it ever happened, I would definatley
pick up the sword and shield.
