Alright then, I know that each sword is supposed to be 6 in longer than the rod. For Broadsword/ninjatu the rod is 2'6". Also for the Longsword/Katana the rod is 3'. These are the dimensions I remember from the videos.

I have a lot of this information but not enought time for posting it all right now. Ll the swords use the same type of foam (camp mat foam- I'm looking into some new brands. The hilt measure varies by style but mine are usually as follows: Short sword (6.5 inches from the end of the rod) Broadsword (7.5) Longsword (8.5-9) Wakasashi (same as shortsword) Ninja-to 8 inches Katana 10 This is from my head - I haven't measured them lately.

Next question - bowstrings. What on earth material is the string made out of? I've tried a few different kinds and all of them stretch out and get loose really quickly.

If I may? I don't know if this is what Chris uses or not, but kite string seems like it would be ideal for use in bows.

He saved the file to his computer and then uploaded it. You can do that with any image, just right click on it and it should give you the option. Also off topic. Make sure posts go in the correct forum. Thanks.
