Modifications to date concerning egg-shaped baldar blunts that are
currently being tested from Tessa the Huntress, Deputy Society Marshal
for Combat Archery.

No "fix" has been identified at this time. Just testing is being carried
out, under very controlled conditions at this time.

Please note at the bottom of her message the 1/8 inch modification has
failed.
