Currently, the only thing that bars these arrows from passing is that the center of the round head templates about 1/8th of an inch.
If we used the 2.5" template rule the way I was taught round-tip arrows still pass.

But since there is a popular train of thought that if it at all templates, then it is illegal, my arrows don't get passed at events.
Furthermore, if you have been at Chaos Wars since, oh Chaos 12, you have been getting shot with these arrows. The ONLY difference, is I wouldnt have to flatten the head (which actually breaks down the foam quicker, making the arrows less safe). Sure, the arrows don't feel like a pillow to the head, but I have always arched with the understanding that each arrow is a babies fist, punching into peoples faces. Its not comfortable, but it is safe.
