[Ansteorra-archery] Combat Archery - New SocietyMarshallateRuling

[Chuck Kaun]

Is there any reason we cant use 1.5" UHMW plastic and instead of wrapping them, use a plumbers wrap?  You know, the stuff they put around pipes and blowdry shrink it?  I dont know about you, but adding steps to any building process gives another level of complexity to screw up on.  Jeeze, the old wood core arrows werent this bad.  Hmmm...thats a thought.  Pipe insulators are closed cell foam arent they?  
 
Also, who has UHMW crossbow bolts for sale?  I could use about 100 or so of them?  All I need is the bare head and shafts. Ill build my own
 
Thanks,

OK.  Good advice.  Thanks!  
 
So what are folks using to wrap the UHMW heads?  I have a little bit of .25-in. padding that came with sticky stuff on the back.  That seems like it would work.  If only I had enough of it!

Well, as the old saying goes, "the only constant is change".  As Engenulf points out the baldar blunts are more than likely going to be no longer available as Duke Baldar has stated he is getting out of the blunt business.  The UHMW blunt has a lot going for it and this is a minor change to make in the scope of things.-JP

I am about to hold a workshop on combat arrow making.  My original plan was to use the materials I have, which of course use the UHMW blunts.  Do you think it would be better to advise the new folks to use the Baldar blunts since they are not affected by the new ruling?  The group is going to purchase the arrow-making supplies.
 
I have only ever used the UHMW blunts, so I have no frame of reference for how different (better? the same?) the Baldar blunts are (besides being a bit more expensive).  Thoughts?
 
Thanks.

I know he is making them again  but I dont know if he is making them for sale or only to exchange with all of those people who have the banned ones that he is exchanging for them.Regards,-EAChuck Kaun wrote: 
And once again I am glad I didnt rebuild the ones that I already had.  At least I still have 42 of the old Baldars.  Does anyone know if the guy who made them is making the old style ones again? Karl
