:As long as the tape is sufficient to keep the head on, the width of the tape used is irrelevant. Often not followed (nor checked).
:Rose gum has similar breaking characteristics to the other forms of allowed eucalypt and is available from Australian hardware stores as 8mm dowel.

;Rose gum added as approved timber for combat arrows - May 2025
:November 2023 - The requirement for tape used to secure blunts to be exactly 13mm wide has been removed. As long as the tape is suffcient to keep the blunt on the shaft securely, you can use other width tape.
