How to Build a Numenorean Arrow Copyleft Gregg Larson (Kegg of Numenor) and Belegarth Medieval Combat Society
The art of arrow construction has evolved over the decades. What follows are instructions for the arrow commonly referred to as the Numenorean arrow as designed by Kegg of Numenor. The idea for many of its features were derived from an arrow design by Granifar of Pentwyvern.
[edit] Disclamer
A Belegarth legal arrow should be able to be shot from a recurve or longbow (35lb at 28 inch draw) into the face of an opponent at a distance of 15 feet without causing harm. This is an exacting standard to which arrows should be constructed to. Arrows should be shot tested by an experienced marshal before any arrow is used in combat. Remember while properly constructed arrow heads are safe for Belegarth combat, an arrows nock is still capable of causing serious injury.

[edit] Relevant Construction Rules
4.9.8.6. A draw stop is required and must effectively stop an arrow from being drawn more than twenty-eight (28) inches. It should protrude at least one-fourth (¼) of an inch away from the arrow shaft .
4.9.8.6.1. If the base of the head of an arrow prevents the archer from drawing beyond 28 inches (71.12 cm) the head of the arrow acts as the draw stop.
4.9.8.7. Arrow/bolt striking surfaces may not easily pass more than one-half (½) inch through a two and one-half (2 ½) inch diameter hole. No part of the arrow/bolt’s striking surface may be less than two and one-half (2 ½) inches in any direction.
4.9.8.8. All arrows/bolts must contain a penny, or solid metal blunt of an equivalent gauge and circumference, perpendicularly secured at the end of the shaft.
4.9.8.8.1. All arrows/bolts using modular technology must create a semi-permanent connection point through the means of threaded screws, epoxy, glue, or strapping tape; the head must be secondarily secured at the end of the shaft with tape.
4.9.8.9. The arrow’s/bolts striking surface must be constructed of open-cell foam.
4.9.8.10. All arrows/bolts must have at least two full fletchings.
4.9.8.11. The striking surface of an arrow/bolts must be free of tape.
4.9.8.12. The arrowhead should not have excess axial or lateral movement and must be secured at the end of the shaft in such a way that they will not come off if firmly twisted or firmly pulled.
