Notes - Equipment standards - Handheld weapons

Single-handed weapons
- Thrusting tip thickness - October 2023
- Thrusting tip resilient material changed from 3/4 (0.75) inch to 1/2 (0.5) inch. The 1/2 inch thickness had been successfully used in Trimaris for 10 years with no issues.
Spears
- Fiberglass spear caps - October 2023
- Clarification to allow schedule-40 PVC cap or equivalent to remove issues with the legality of commonly used commericially available spear tips being used safely across the SCA.
- Mandrake tips removed from use on weapons over - October 2023
- 2-inch Mandrake rubber tips have been removed from use on all weapons over 7 1/2 feet (2.29m). There is a risk of them folding and penetrating a bar grill.
