Your mother is a famous archer in your kingdom, and a feared competitor whenever archery tournaments are held. You’ve seen her hit a moving target the size of your palm without breaking a sweat.

One day you hope to live up to your mother’s name. Under her guidance, you practice daily with your bow and collection of Round Head arrows. Your mother says you have great potential--it’s in your blood, after all.

DETAILS

This White/Black coloured arrow is designed by iDV Engineering, the leading archery crafters in the LARP industry. Arrows are an essential for any archer, and this particular version is designed to be used without harming your friends. Made with epoxy-glass resin, this 76 cm long white sleeved arrow is built to be highly flexible, shatterproof, and accurate. It will withstand the inevitable abuse on the archery range or battlefield! Should the shaft ever break, however, a special sleeve has been added to protect you from fibreglass splinters. The black fletching is made from flexible elastomer, which is durable and made of one piece as an added safety feature.

This arrow is a great solution for beginning archers, youth, tourism, LARP or medieval reenactment. The round head is made of durable padding, and is designed to distribute impact uniformly in order to minimize potential injury. Each arrow head and shaft has a 4 year warranty thanks to their superior quality (although the warranty does not cover the nock and fletching).

Available in colours White/Green, Black/Black, Black/Green, and White/Black.

HISTORY

• Used in cultures all over the world, predating recorded history
• Modern reconstruction of a historical crossbow bolt, but designed not to cause injury (particularly to vital sensitive areas on the face)

The forest is serene this morning as you head out along the trails. Birds are singing and the weather is crisp, perfect for working without breaking too much of a sweat. But as you approach the dead tree you’d marked the day before, you believe you hear something in the underbrush.

Your calloused, strong hand wraps around the handle of your Franciscan Axe. The edge is freshly sharpened, and you’re ready to defend yourself from any beast that you might find--relieved as a neighbor’s dog comes bounding out from a bush, instead.

Back to work.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Fransiscan Axe is a coreless latex throwing weapon inspired by the throwing axes of the early migration period. The fearsome Frankish tribesmen were known for breaking the lines of the Roman legions by throwing these heavy-headed axes, splitting the legionaries’ shields to devastating effect. Epic Armoury’s version has a heavy one-edged blade shaped to look like a mundane garden-variety splitting axe. The wood-grain decorated handle is curved, allowing a better throwing grip.

Made from durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Historically used by the fearsome Frankish tribesmen against the Roman legions
• Heavy-headed axes would be thrown against the Romans, splitting shields and breaking their lines
• First hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle

A bow so long it should consider a career in political commentary.

Your prey is almost within range, tentative as she catches a whiff of something in the air. You have covered yourself in the dirt of the forest and smell more like pine than person, but the deer still seems uncertain. She steps forward and you pull back the string on your loaded Flatbow. This deer will feed you for the rest of the week, so you are careful as you take aim. You mustn’t miss your target if you are to eat.

With a sharp ‘thwap!’ your arrow hits its mark, clean and perfect. A painless end to a noble creature...and your dinner.

HISTORY

The Black Iron Prison was the ultimate tool of the enduring Empire, and the Empire never ended.

You are one of the king’s best hunters, tasked with tracking down a stag in the king’s forest. You creep through the ancient trees, searching for signs of the great deer.

With your Imperial Quiver, your arrows are at the ready as you finally find the animal’s trail. There will be a feast tonight.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black Imperial Quiver is a rustic, adjustable quiver for carrying your arrows--no matter the number--on the field. It fits most LARP arrows and is made from black leather and beige canvas. Adjust the leather cord lacing along the front to tighten or loosen the quiver, allowing for a snug and safe fit around your arrows.

The quiver comes with a long leather belt with a brass-plated iron buckle, and is attached to a leather plate at the top and a buckle at the bottom. All of the straps and buckles can be reversed so that it can be worn over either shoulder. An additional attached strap goes around the chest and keeps the quiver secure against the back.

The Imperial Quiver is neutral in style and colour and matches other Epic Armoury leather items, making it a good choice for any archer, no matter what race or world you wish to play.

HISTORY

• Historically, quivers could be attached in various positions, including: the back, the belt, the ground, or the archer’s limbs
• Traditionally made of leather, wood, furs, and other natural materials
