Hoping to come LARP soon! A Few simple questions

Hi! I'm hoping to come in the next few months! I'm just getting the essentials all figured out. (being the poor college student that I am).

I'm an actor and a roleplayer so I figured why not try LARPing.

I do have a question though!

Where would be a good place to buy bows and arrows for the event? Ones that meet the safety regulations. I haven't decided whether or not i'm making the arrows but I definitely want to buy the bow and I want to find one that won't ruin the game experience and meets the draw weight.

Any help would be awesome!

Hi Christine,
If you look to the left hand side of the website, the left hand menu column shows a section called Web Links .  On there are some sites that offer archery supplies and bows.  We also have someone at the game who offers to sell arrows.

Hey Dan,
If you wanted to save time on making arrows, I do sell them for a reasonable price.  I will be setup before new player training on friday night and during market faire.

Sites like Attilas or Rudders offers various types of bows.  Or you can go to Walmart/Dicks Sporting Goods & look for youth bows.

Hope what I posted helps you, and welcome.

A lot of armor, weapons, and costume can be found in the links section:

I got my bow from here:
www.medievalcollectibles.com

They've got a good selection for bows and swords.

Thanks guys! I thought I've thoroughly looked through the site, but I never even noticed the web links part

WOW! I forgot my manners.
Anyway, Hi my name is Conor(OOG) and I play a sylvan elf ranger named Caelvan. I got my bow and it's pretty cool Latex covering over a fiberglass bow. It works really well. But the hard part is when people get in close. You have to draw a sword really quickly. Look me up in-game next weekend.

I will have a bow for demo this month and I have about 6 arrows left for sale.  I will not have more than that till October.  So they will be 1st come 1st serve.

Mahoney has the best prices for latex weapons and the like.

Awesome! I'll check this all out!

Actually I'm probably coming this month to check the game out and make sure I really dig it! I'm totally excited!

She will in fact be there, i talked her into going. she will be the short girl next to the extremely attractive Bedouin..

But Chris won't be at this event... 

(You asked for that one!)

Christine, you're Nathaniel's friend right, so you live up here in the Capitol District?

Last night I found an archery store on rt 5 eastbound between Colonie Center & The Costumer that had carbon fiber arrows, already fletched, for $70 a dozen. At about $5.84 an arrow, thats best price *I've* ever seen, and for carbon fiber no less (less likely to snap like wood or splinter like fiberglass).

The dude there was really nice... he gave me a free bag of nocks to repair my broken arrows .

hey where is that store? I'm really interested in it myself.

In Colonie, near Albany.

I believe I actually know that store. It's the one that the upstairs is guns and the downstairs is bows, right?

sadly it's over two hours away from me. Otherwise I would totally go there and get some arrows.

I knew Christina lived in the same area as me, so this store was convention for her. I'm sure you can find a local store with roughly the same merchandise, Conner.

Dick's Sporting Goods usually has some good sales on arrows. These are the lowest priced pre-fletched, non-tipped carbon arrows they sell which should be fine for a LARP-weight bow, and occasionally they run sales in-store like buy 1set, get 1 50% off, etc.

Additionally, while not every location sells them, Wal-Mart also has some affordable carbon-fiber arrows.

Thanks Jenna! I'll totally check it out since I'll have money in a few weeks! (Yay job!)
