[Ansteorra-archery] Need input from archery marshals please :)

[Susan Hill]

I would have to see them first to be able to say whether or not I would 
allow them on my range. If there were the slightest doubt, no I would not 
allow them. Equipment is expensive and it isn't mine to abuse or allow 
anyone else to abuse. There are some folks who don't allow some of the 
current reproduction tips that are out there. It's up to the individual 
marshal in charge. Your customers may find that some places will allow them, 
some won't. Personally, I think it's a bit silly to spend that kind of money 
on stuff that gets stuck in the butts. Wish I had it to throw away. ;)

   Greetings unto the shooting populace


   I need to get input from the archery marshals that run shoots on 
something.


   I have started making 5/16" and 11/32" socketed bodkins. I have seen some 
that allow the use of them and others that do not. I have also seen the 
rounded "look alike" that are sold from various sources.

   Mine are bodkins, the edges sharp and as of recently i put one through 
.121 inch thick steel plate shot from a heavy (450lb) crossbow. Penetration 
is not a concern as i make them from 40gr to 170gr.

   The question is, IF the edges are rounded and do not carry a cutting edge 
- would these be allowed on the target field? I am assuming that the reason 
some marshals (with good cause) stop the use is the worry they will cut the 
bindings on the butts.


   I ask as i will be starting to add these to my line and want to make sure 
i give sound advice to potential owners before they hit the field and are 
turned back.


   Thanks in advance for the input :)
