Arrow Fasteners Rule??

I would assume they would be considered a fastener, but if not depending on how you are going to use them maybe try cutting strips of the tubing and using them????

Surgical Tubing...

I would probably suggest using "latex tubing" rather than rubber bands...mainly because u already know its legal and i would bet it would work better than a rubber band in almost any situation...

Check the AHL

I belive the AHL says you can use up to 5 (five) rubber bands up to a certain size.

But I don't have it handy so go look it up.
