It's the dropping not the polyens that cause the injuries.

looking for Ron Simmons or.....

I'd like a used/cheap Churburg 13 or 14 style body armour to round out my late 14th C rig. Preferably in stainless.

I'd like to get a breast plate from Ron but i can't find his site.

I'm trying to do a corizina (sp?) but it's just not working.

Your somewhat assuming that a 150 lb person is going to fight you the same way he'd fight another 150 lb person.

You fight big havy people totally differently than you fight small quick people. If you only have "one fight" your gonna die.
