The directions at that link are somewhat out of date.<br>
<br>
Make sure you follow the construction guidelines in VII.E of the
current Society Marshals Handbook where it says.<br>
<br>
<blockquote><i><b>E. Throwing Weapons</b> - These weapons may be used
for striking and may also be thrown in melee scenarios where thrown
weapons are allowed. May include thrust-and-throw javelins, axes,
knives, etc. </i><br>
<ol>
<li><i><b><font color="#cc0000">Shafts shall be constructed of r<u>attan
not less than 1 1/4 (31.8 mm) inch in diameter along its entire length</u>
or of <u>two layers of Siloflex or equivalent. The outer layer shall
be 1 inch (25.4 mm) inner diameter Siloflex (1 1/4 inch [31.8mm] OD)
and the inner layer shall be 0.75 inch (19.1 mm) inner diameter
Siloflex.</u></font></b></i></li>
<li><i>If Siloflex is used, both ends of the shaft shall be covered
with either a schedule-40 PVC cap with an interior diameter the same as
the outside diameter of the shaft (1 1/4 inch [31.8 mm]), or with a
rubber stopper or equivalent means to prevent the tubing from
penetrating the thrusting tip(s), fastened securely in place by tape
and/or glue.</i></li>
<li><i><font color="#cc0000"><b>Thrusting tips shall be used on any
tip that can be reasonably assumed to contact a fighter when the weapon
is used or thrown. </b></font>Tips shall be no less than 2 inches
(50.8 mm) in diameter/cross-section and have 2 inches (50.8 mm) of
resilient material in front of the rigid tip of the weapon, thereby
providing progressively resistant give.</i></li>
<li><i>If the weapon has a head, it shall not be constructed of
solely rigid materials. The head shall be firmly and securely attached
to the haft or handle. The head shall allow at least 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
of progressive give between the striking surface and the weapon haft or
handle.</i></li>
<li><i>The weapon must have the owners name, kingdom, and group
clearly and legibly printed on it in English characters for
identification.</i></li>
<li><i>Total mass of the weapon shall not exceed 2 pounds (0.91 kg).</i></li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
Significant changes are in <b><font color="#cc0000">RED</font></b><br>
<br>
The key there is that you can have a rattan handle/shaft and if you
have a siloflex handle/shaft it has to be two layers like a siloflex
thrust and throw javelin. The instruction on Inga's site doesn't cover
rattan and only shows a single layer of siloflex.<br>
<br>
As Engenulf indicated for the maces it takes 5 tballs. 4 for the head,
and one for the butt. Since when these are thrown the spin
end-over-end they want the tball on the butt end to help protect in
those instances where the butt of the weapon will strike your target.
If you are building an axe rather than a mace you should still use the
tball or something similar on the butt end i.e. <i>V.II.E.3
Thrusting tips shall be used on any tip that can be reasonably assumed
to contact a fighter when the weapon is used or thrown.</i><br>

Sounds more like a throwing mace.

Gives you instructions
and a parts needed list. The last I heard they were legal in this

<div>I'm curious about your throwing axe. Four tennis balls

a piece of syloflex? Sounds interesting. How does that work?<br>

you are interested and dont have your
authorization before BAM, why not join some of us who might not have
much ammo for crossbow or bow and make some throwing weapons? Nothing
quite as fun as chunking an axe or javelin into someones faceplate.
Almost as good as an arrow cause you can see their face as they see it
coming. The design of axes is also way simple. 4 tennis balls and a
13 inch piece of siloflex and a bunch of strapping and duct tape and
you are good to go. <br>
<br>
So dont let that no card take away your fun. Throw something at
someone, you know you always wanted to do that anyway. And even if you
do get your card, its still fun and you have extra stuff to play with
:D<br>

<div>Excellent! Thanks to you all for your swift
responses.<br>
<br>
And thank you Ironwyrm for your cautionary response. I understand that
I might not be able to be complete before BAM but I will have my
fighter authorization and armor in place before the event to where I
could at least buddy with someone to get a sense of what CA
entails...and I'm completely happy with that.<br>
<br>
So am I still interested?...yes, and I'll see you tomorrow.<br>

you can find a CA marshal willing to vouch for you, I would be
willing to observe/advise you at BAM as I have done for others working
on authorizations in the past. You would be able to participate that
way. I am not a CA marshal (yet, if HL Eadric has anything to do with
it) and I can only speak for my own personal cache of 170+ arrows, but
I can certainly help out there.<br>
