You can buy sheets of the thicker 6mm or 7mm craft foam at places like
JoAnns, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and sometimes Wal Mart. Those should
only require one layer for those wishing to go that route.<br>
<br>
Everybody probably needs to look at their ammo and the way they work to
determine if two layers or a single layer works best for them.<br>
<br>
For those of you who are CA marshals and have prepared yourself to
inspect at Gulf War this is basically adding the side wrap that is
required on Fellwalker type heavy UHMW bolts. You should know what to
do.<br>

yet. They would not have passed the new rules. I had only planed on
adding 1/8" to the sides.<br>
I know where to get 1/8 " foam but where do you get 1/4" at? I think it
may be easer to use two wqrapes of 1/8" to do the job and may do a
better job of supporting the side of the foam head.<br>

unless you are using only Baldar Blunt's this probably effects YOU. I
don't know of any Ansteorran archers that are already doing this. In

Note this is <i><b>Effective Immediately</b></i>. Your ammo will
not pass inspection until it meets these new requirements.<br>

Yes, the cost in materials and more importantly time for a group like
mine that has thousands of pieces of ammo is staggering.<br>

============================================<br>
The Ruling:<br>
<br>
------------------------<br>
<br>
Effective immediately by the Society Earl Marshal & the Deputy
Society Earl Marshal for Combat Archery, the following changes to
equipment are required due to repeated incidents of helm penetrations:<br>
<br>
* Combat Archery ammunition may have at most 1" thick padding on the
tip after taping.<br>
<br>
* All UHMW & Siloflex/Rubber Stopper ammunition must have a side
wrap of foam added that brings the total diameter of the blunt to at
least 1.5" after taping. This wrap must extend from the tip to at
least 1/2" over the UHMW or Siloflex itself.<br>
<br>
* All fletches on any arrows, bolts, or thrown weapons can project no
further than 1/2" from the shaft, or must be 1.5" thick.<br>
<br>
* NOTE: All Marshals need to be rigorous in their inspections of all
tips (arrows & thrusting) and mass weapons. Ensure that the foam
is firm, will not bend over, returns to shape when compressed, and can
not be easily pushed into a legal helm more than 1/2".<br>
