Re:SCA Arrow Blunt - 2006/07/28 19:00
VERY interesting. at first i was like "hell no! omg!" but then i saw that hte dimentions were notably smaller than the pictures.
at 1.25 inches in diameter they'd effectivley replace the whole concept of building up the tip with ducttape and a penny. the weight should be notably less though.
providing the padding is appropriate and its a full round stressball o nthe tip, i dont' see why these wouldn't work. though, i think they need to be EXTENSIVELY tested. i suggest using oznog's arrow testing board.
basicaly get some pink wall insulation board. put that on a pieceo f plywood and shoot the arrows at it repeatedly (dead on and at an angle). check the pink foam for notable deformations and also listen to the sound. it should give you a very good indication of hte safety of hte arrow.
