We make sure that the boffer has enough padding on all swinging sides as well as the pommel and tip to avoid stabbing if it happens.
We also have a Chronograph to check dart shooters gun phys reps so we can clear them if they were modded. If you are not around from 4-8pm FRI, please find a Safety Guide so we can help.
