Call for Clarity rule
Bron:
Okay, so I know archers can call for Clarity and that does make sense at times, but what if you know there call on you was wrong. Like when your weapon is over your shoulder high enough that when the arrow hit the flat it would have gone through and passed you no problem and the archer calls you dead. Is it wrong to call back that it is a miss? Since, they are calling for the clarity to fighters who might not have noticed what happened or was not sure where the hit landed.
So, is it okay to reply back to a bad call on clarity?

What they said :).
In a smaller battle where you can communicate with the archer, you might try to explain what you think really happened. In a larger event, it's impossible to try to talk to someone 40' away, with 50 fighters in between you. But in either case, the archer has a final say and you should take the hit as they call it in the end - if you're convinced they were wrong, you should talk to a herald.
Lots of people think that, if the call was 'wrong', you should take what you feel instead of what the archer calls. But the point of the rule is that sometimes you don't notice archers' shots (like when you're hit from behind and think it was just a teammate bumping into you). The rule says that, when you and an archer have different ideas about whether or not you were hit, the archer is the one whose perspective trumps everyone else's. And the person being hit doesn't get to pick and choose which times to listen to the archer, because then what would be the point of the rule?
Do a search here for lots of heated debate about this.

Sorry, that I did not and yeah I can get how it is a heated debate. I have read some of the debates on bow draw lengths/pounds on here. We are all human and can easily make mistakes on where we think it hit. More so it battle where we are going quickly through things.
I totally believe in allowing archers to call where they hit in the cases like what you were stating where it is not easily seen where the hit was coming from. I admit there are times I feel something from behind do a quick check to see what hit me and it I can't see a person back whacking down the line I normally just think it was a team mate.
