There is no special authorization for the low profile spear tips - if you are authorized fiberglass you can use them.<BR>
<BR>
That said, it's definitely a good idea to try one, on both the striking and receiving end, before you get into the battles at GW and the adrenaline starts pumping. They deliver solid blows with much lighter force. There should be at least one you can try out on Sunday. I'm in the same boat as you - I'll be buying & building mine on Monday at war.<BR>

<DIV>I would like to get authorized for fiber glass spear. I'm planning to use a low-profile tip (gonna buy one when I get to war) - does that matter?</DIV>
