equipment and training info

Hey ladies,

I have been in touch with Chad and am looking into his answers: Here were my questions and his replys:

Best kind of pole to get. Plastic, fiberglass, etc.
Metal, most every Catalog carries 6' poles.


Do they need to be double weighted
Not Really, just a weight on the Silk end should be enough.

how big are the flags for the 6’ pole
36" x 54" is typical. The Flag should be half the width of the pole.

best material for the flags and practice flags
Poly China Silk. A good place to buy raw fabric is the Band Hall.

what kind of rifle do they need
A good choice is an Elite Rifle. I would suggest 36" length. Also in most catalogs.

I did not see classes on the OIPA website, will you be having them
OIPA will have a clinic in December.

Can you personally work with the girls this summer in June to learn new techniques in flag, rifle and movement
Would love to, we may want to start throwing around dates, our summer is almost full. In addition Liz and I will be hosting to clinics this summer in Northwest Ohio. I have attached a flyer on this.

  1. Mmmk. sounds pretty good.. the only difference i would make is with the riffles, 36'' are kinda small.. and when choosing equippment, my suggestion would be a 39''.. Elites are pretty good, if you go to the Algy website, they are only about $34 for an Elite 4, 39''
