<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>taking the field again until they could replace the "cozy" heads </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.
