| + | '''Arrows''' are a piece of equipment in Amtgard. |
| − | <onlyinclude>Includes bolts and any other similar items.<br>
| |
| − | '''NOTE:''' Improperly constructed or maintained arrows can pose a serious safety hazard. Before building your fist arrows take the time to study an online construction tutorial or practice with an experienced player. | |
| − | ====General====
| |
| − | # May not be drawn beyond 28”.
| |
| − | # Fletching and nocks, if present, must be in good repair.
| |
| − | # Must be clearly labeled with their owner’s name.
| |
| − | #* Arrows without labels will never be allowed on the field.
| |
| − | #* Using arrows without labels can result in immediate suspension from the field.
| |
| − | # Broken or poorly mended arrows are not to be used.
| |
| − | # Like any other equipment arrows may only be used by their owner unless the owner grants specific permission for another player to use their arrows.
| |
| − | #* The owner of an arrow is responsible for the safety of the arrow even if fired by another player.
| |
| − | #* [[Specialty Arrow (Type)|Special arrows]] may never be shared.
| |
| − | # Swinging at an arrow in flight is illegal.
| |
| − | #* Arrows may only be passively blocked by placing an object in the flight path.
| |
| − | ====Shafts====
| |
| − | # May be fiberglass, aluminum, plastic, or graphite.
| |
| − | # Wood shaft are only allowed if covered in a minimum of 4 mils of plastic tape or equivalent.
| |
| − | # Shafts must have any real arrow head or tip removed.
| |
| − | #The tip of shafts must be built up to at least 1” in diameter in a solid manner such as:
| |
| − | #* Wrapping in fiberglass strapping tape and capping with a 1' diameter galvanized steel disc.
| |
| − | #* Affixing a 1" diameter washer into the shaft with a solidly-attached screw.
| |
| − | #* Other similar methods. Replacing the washer or disc with a U.S. penny is not considered 'similar' to those construction methods. Acceptable construction methods include, but are not limited to, building the arrowhead onto a base which is removable but firmly attached (commonly referred to as "modular" construction) and/or shaft buildups made using fused deposition modeling ("3D Printing"). Please consult experienced arrowhead builders before attempting new designs.
| |
| − | # Shafts longer than 28” must have a draw stop (generally a ring of tape or similar) placed around the shaft no more than 28" from the inside of the arrow's nock where the string rests.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====Heads==== | + | {{ruleblock-start}} |
| − | # Must be 2.5” in diameter.
| + | ====Crafting==== |

| − | # Must include a minimum of 2” of [[foam]] in front of the shaft of the arrow.
| |
| − | #* The 0.5” of foam immediately after the end of the shaft must be [[Foam#Closed_Cell|closed-cell]].
| |
| − | #* [[Foam]] must be firm but compressible, and not able to deform around the arrow shaft on impact.
| |
| − | #* Very soft foams such as couch cushion do not count towards the required 2” minimum of foam.
| |
| − | # Heads should be checked regularly for degrading foam.
| |
| − | # Must have a [[cloth cover]] on the head.
| |
| − | #* Properly colored strips may be used in lieu of colored head covers to denote [[Specialty Arrow (Type)|special arrow]] status.
| |
| − | #* Normal arrows may not be covered in any of the colors reserved for [[Specialty Arrow (Type)|special arrows]].
| |
| − | #* Reserved colors are: yellow, red, green, purple, and grey.

| |
| − | # If a player has Specialty Arrows with a frequency that includes [[Charge]], they may have only one Specialty Arrow of any type Charged at a time.
