It's the thing that makes shooting arrows at Live Roleplay safe. The shaft is connected to a 'redhead' I believe they're called. These are glued in a soft rubber cone. The cone must be larger than your eyesocket, to avoid getting someone's eyes shot into their brains. Most Germans just use regular arrows with a cork on it. These arrows I have are a) safe, and b) the best in the Netherlands, excepting the fact that mine are quite vulnerable, being made of a wooden shaft. For long durability and bendable shafts, fiberglass arrows are a tad better.
Here we use bamboo shafts with a metal tip (I don't think people do LARP in Hong Kong, so I wouldn't know what they'd use). But then, most things are bamboo, like chopsticks (apparently, some places use rainforest wood).
Then again, Hong Kong typically glues plastic fins on with a glue gun. I wouldn't know what serious archers use.
Wouldn't regular arrows go right through a cork? O.o
