Ihon, Components are simply the Asgard APD (since you specified that type), a solid fiberglass shaft having a minimum diameter of 1/4 inch and maximum diameter of 3/8 inch, and an SCA-approved blunt head.  The Complete Participant’s Manual lists examples as: “a Markland or modified Markland, Thistle Missile, Baldar, UHMW, Morak or other SCA approved combat blunt.  The padded face of the blunt may be flat, rounded or parabolic, but not pointed.” If you use UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight) plastic blunts, the rules in current versions of both SCA and Kingdom guides were changed in 2008.  The specifics of that change are here: http://www.sca.org/officers/marshal/combat/c_archery/.  The main thing is that the face must be 1.5 inches in diameter, and not 1.25 inches.  It also has to have a “side-wrap.”  It’s all explained on the site. There are several merchants out there that sell this equipment.   I hope that helps! Kenneth
