ATXguard Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 6 foot aluminum polessilk should measure 36" x 52" when finished - use poly china silk fabric Rifles - use King rifles 36" are GREAT for starting off, 39" is good too. These are weighted wonderfully! WGI videos are the best! I'd say 38" by 56", and go with Premier Rifles... but that's me. You're going to get lots of different opinions from lots of different people about what you should or shouldn't do. The best thing I can say is try to get someone in your area who already has colorguard experience involved with your group. It will help tremendously.

Will Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The "rubber end" on a rifle is not going to protect anything but the floor. You have to use strapping tape and electrical tape to reinforce the rifle against breakage. Most manufacurer's provide information on how to best tape your rifle. Kings will not be as heavy as Premier's, but both are outstanding products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Murphy Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Are you *sure* you don't have any companies in your country? I assume you have done your research, but you never know. If you can make a pattern, you can MAKE your own flags. 1" diameter aluminum pipe in a 6 foot length can be a pole. Crutch tips can be the stoppers. a piece of polysilk with a sleeve that is 36" and a length that is around 52" can be a silk. It's the rifles and sabres that you would have to find somewhere to buy from. I would do some serious searching before I bought overseas. The wait from customs could be terrible!
