The padded face of the blunt may be flat, rounded or parabolic, but not pointed.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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: <a href="http://www.sca.org/officers/marshal/combat/c_archery/">http://www.sca.org/officers/marshal/combat/c_archery/</a>. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>There are several merchants out there that sell this equipment. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I hope that helps!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Kenneth<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> ansteorra-archery-bounces+kentheriot=ravenboymusic.com@lists.ansteorra.org [mailto:ansteorra-archery-bounces+kentheriot=ravenboymusic.com@lists.ansteorra.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>John Hirling<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, December 30, 2011 1:56 PM<br><b>To:</b> Archery within the Kingdom of Ansteorra<br><b>Subject:</b> [Ansteorra-archery] Combat bolts<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>would someone please post the components needed for a combat archery bolt - with Asgard knock<br>~ihon<br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><h2><span style='color:#006600;font-weight:normal'>One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested."<br> — E.
