- The ends of any rigid cores should have a flat face and be sufficiently capped with a layer of foam and tape at minimum to prevent the core from pushing through.
- Hollow cores should be sealed at the ends.
- Sharp edges should be blunted so as to not dig into the padding.
- Non-Rigid Cores
Contact Projectiles require a non-rigid core.- The best materials to use are foam (any), denim, sweatshirt material, loose rubber bands, etc.
