                                            One of the most exciting things about foam fighting is the fact that your options are nearly limitless when it comes to the weaponry you choose.  Do you want to master the speed and sophistication of the sword?  Or are you more of a hard hitting brute, preferring the giant two handed axe to move people?  Unlike other fighting sports that limit you to one weapon style, foam fighting allows you to choose your weapon of destruction.

                                            Kite Studio's Epoxy tubing is often used as "core material" for many boffer weapons. The hollow epoxy/fiberglass RET505 is used for the single handed weapon while the RET602 is used for the longer two handed weapon. 

                                            Our ripstop tape is used as a covering material and is available in many colors.  Black, red, and gray are most popular.

                                            A wickedly funny site, Lars and his Shoppe Trolls create lovely weapons of all types and sizes, as well as being responsible for the many Guilds which anyone who spends entirely too much time around Ren Faires will recognize!

                                            Based in Nampa, Indiana, Christian Fletcher has a lovely selection of reasonably-priced chainmail and platemail, as well as a large section of armor designed with the SCA safety rules in mind!

                                            Angel Sword produces one-of-a-kind weapons of exquisite quality and strength. Their catalog is somewhat sparce, but will give you an idea of the quality and type of work they do. Better to visit them at one of the Ren Faires they attend, because they always have a large amount of weapons on hand, which should be seen to be believed!
