[Ansteorra-archery] Fat head blunts

[Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair]

Now that I have to replace all my stolen CA gear, I'm planning on going 
with the fatheads on my new equipment.  Given that it's UHMW and 
Santoprene, they should last a long time with less maintenance.  I'm 
also hoping that the firmer impact will be easier for fighters in combat 
to notice.  I may make some standard UHMW bolts for the rapier field, 
but that's it.
