<div>What the "Fathead" is is a UHMW blunt core with Santoprene molded around it. I believe they hit harder than a standard Baldar, as there is less padding in front of the UHMW. (I'll check my hostory for precise numbers). </div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is no way for them to absorb water. Standard UHMW heads shouldn't either, as closed cell foam doesn't act as a sponge. Hmm, another advantage of my Tool Dipped heads :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Personally, I do not want to be shot with a fathead from minimum range. I dented a curved, 18ga stainless breastplate from about 20' away with my recurve. Imagine that on a collarbone, or the upper, Upper inner thigh...</div>

<div>It would be worth pursuing if you have the time, some of the archers </div>
<div>I've talked to (including two of our own) have said they were not </div>

<div>with baldars or something equivalent. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have to admit I'm not fond of using the "cozy's" anymore myself. </div>
<div>Experienced some unusual problems with them at BAM after being </div>
<div>soaked in standing water from the rain. Been trying to dry them </div>
<div>out ever since and suspect they will all have to be repaired. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>First I'd heard of them being ready but took a look at the "Fat </div>
<div>Head's" on Northstar's site and they look like they won't take </div>
<div>any water. Going to have to order some and cut one open to </div>
<div>see how they are made. If we can get them approved I'll order </div>
<div>fifty and let ya know how well they survive.</div>

<div>I have recommended that we approve them to our Earl Marshal. The core of the blunt is a legal UHMW blunt. And the rubber surrounding it is the same as with all Baldar Blunts.<br>Unless our Earl Marshal specifically denies their use, I see them as legal for use in Ansteorra. Having said that, I don't know that all the Gulf War kingdoms have approved them or their use at Gulf War.<br>
