Servus! Is the SCA Inc. wrong to think about things like liability in the most litigious country on planet Earth? If someone gets their neck broken during grappling, do you think the victim and their family are going to simply say "Oh well, should have thought of that before wrestling with the 6'5"....

Spiffy! The bungee cord is vile but that's easily replaceable. Figure out a way that you can deal with shields and it's perfect.

Cool idea - I hate leaving my weapons lying all over and propping them against something is a recipie to have them fall over and knock over something breakable!

Servus! A trick to keep your bows from loosening: when tying a bow knot (like your shoes) when you get to the step where you loop it over your thumb, loop it a second time. Finish tying as normal. What this does is create more tension in the middle and against itself so the knot does no work itself ...
