Crossbows
Under UK law, participants under 18 years of age cannot be in possession of a crossbow unless under the supervision of a person who is 21 years of age or older. In terms of our game, this means that we do not permit participants under that age to use crossbows, except when supervised under controlled conditions (Such as a setup archery range, or a teaching session).
Battlefield, encounters and any combat does not count as controlled conditions.
Arrows and Bolts
Arrow Shafts
Arrowhead
Not Acceptable
Bow Competency
You must take your bow and your arrows to be checked by our weapon check team. You will be asked to demonstrate that you know how to use it safely: You will be required to string and destring your bow, and asked to demonstrate a full arrow or bolt check to show you understand our safety checks
You may be asked to fire the weapon at a nearby target. The aim of these checks is to ensure that you know how to use your bow or crossbow safely at our events.
If our weapon check team are happy that you are competent with a bow or crossbow they will give you an archer card, Meaning you have completed the Bow Competency, You must carry at all times whilst using your bow
Full arrow check
Shooting
Armour
Light-weight flimsy materials such as cardboard, tin foil and paper cannot be counted as armour. You cannot use knitted wool or other fabric which is coloured to look like chain as armour either.
Armour can be constructed from EVA foam however LARP armour has the potential to be subject to damage in combat. As with armour constructed from other materials we will be checking that foam armour is robust and safe for both the wearer and other people. All Foam armour must be checked by the weapons check team.
We are conscious that Larp Combat is a contact sport so Armour may not have Spikes or sharp points. (studs on leather armor is fine)
Light Armour
Medium Armour
Heavy Armour
Banner
At Menhirs Fate we are allowing banners as we think they are great items for the fantasy setting.
Fighting safely
Banned items, items cannot be used at events, either for reasons of safety or because they are unsuitable for the campaign. The traders are permitted to sell these items but only on the condition that they are collected at the end of the event during time in. Items sold before time in may be stored in tents or cars and not brought out during time in. You must not carry these items on site in an IC area.
