Of all the funny and quirky hobbies out there, this is definitely one of the most interesting.
Daddy AF. Very cool. I'm trying to get some world war 1 and 2 reenacters for a film production. So far they have been a pleasure to work with and show a passion for their character that you wouldn't be able to find in a D-list actor that would normally fill the role.

You have to watch out. In Poland we have FB group called "DeHa" which means "Dopierdalactwo Historyczne" which could be transleted into hmmm let's say "Pointing out fucking wrong history".
Point is I saw many WW reanactors who looked very very bad. I mean, for a someone who is not into this theme they look fine but for a people like me they look completly wrong. Wrong belts, wrong shoes etc etc
So when you pick some reanactor take a ver careful look at their equipment

Hunting with a bow instead of rifle counts as poaching in most countries, even if you are a licensed hunter.

Well, maybe I did not understand you but you said something about fight and dent - therefore I said that any dents in metal maybe by sword/axe/whatever are not very accurate becasue blacksmiths may work in a traditional way but they don't have traditional materials.
Have you seen "Barbarians Rising" a small serie by HISTORY? Garden me, if they hired reanactores, they hired the worst possible ones.

The harnesses used in modern competitive jousting are not historical reconstructions, and there are no compromises for historical accuracy if that would put someone at risk. They're hitting each other as hard as they did for real, and while I'm not aware of anyone being killed doing it, yet, there have been concussions and broken bones.

Well, inasmuch as modern jousting is a recreation of medieval jousting, it was not mainly combat so much as a combat sport. So even historically, the lances were designed to shatter, a dramatisation of the kind of thing that might happen in a real battle. But both then and now, this is still a full contact sport, and so injuries happen, like american football or rugby, at least.
Not sure this is an actual injury, but here is some footage from Leeds Armouries which happens to show someone taking a bad strike:
