MissionMy mission is to provide LARPers with spell packets of the highest quality that are worthy of the rich fantasy worlds that we create.
I provide you with the equivalent of modern ammunition for your medieval fantasy warfare. Each Bradley Packet is meticulously crafted to be consistent in size, shape, and weight. This uniformity helps you throw your spells with a greater degree of speed and accuracy. My hope is that this will ultimately increase the joy you take from your LARPing experience. |

The Elements of a Bradley PacketThe HeadThe head of any spell packet is the ball of birdseed wrapped in fabric. Bradley Packets have heads that are as uniform in size and shape as is humanly possible. They are firm enough to give you a consistent, stable mass to throw, yet have enough "give" to allow the seeds to shift on impact, flattening the head and softening the blow of a hard or full-force throw. When retrieved, a flattened head can easily be rounded back out with a thumb.
The BaseMost LARPs use rubber bands to keep the seed in their spell packets, though I have seen instructions that allow the use of electrical tape, yarn, and other materials. A Bradley Packet is made with high-tensile rubber bands that help the head maintain its firm shape.
The TailThe tails of every Bradley Packet have been cut to the perfect length. Long enough to help you grasp large numbers of them in a packet blossom*, yet short enough not to get in your way. Like the feathers on an arrow or the fins on a rocket, the tail stabilizes the rotation of the spell packet in flight.
