[SCA-AE] looking for some combat archers that shot at pennsic

is there a specific reason why a sturdier 160 psi bolt would fail 
inspection? I know darn well that it has nothing to do with flexibility 
or collapsibility as the normal siloflex is very rigid.

Could it have been over some weight limit? I would like to know how 
something that would appear to be more safe (less likely to break) as 
well as more durable fails to meet an inspection standard.

I guess it is just the engineering in me...
