thigh shots can be potentually lethal.. Deep vein thrombosis from the bruising .. which can lead to Pulmonary embolism. that can kill you really fast. I know of three people who have gotten DVTs from fighting.. ( diagnosed anywho) im sure there are far more. its just not too much of an issue unless ...

Samuel

much like gladiators having a dagger with a small strapped round shield.. its possible to block as well as stab with a dagger . IMO its within the rules so long as the dagger and shield are not meshed together. IE a peice of rattan mounted on a shield.

Samuel

yall know what watching two lefties fight looks like right? like watching fat ppl have sex.. its messy.. parts go everywhere.. nothing gets done for hours. and other people do it just fine... OR its whirling deverishes of ass wrapping... cause really.. thats the ONLY PURE HISTORICAL shot thrown in t...

Samuel

HERETICS!!!!!

QUEEN IS period!!!

thus anyhting they sing is period MUSIC!!!

Of course " a knights tale" counts and documentation.. so does " the vikings" and gladiator.. but SPARTACUS is like PRIMARY reference material.. ( sex is period!)

Samuel

Im going to make a culture of no head hunting... just me but the most retarded looking fights EVER are when both opponants throw nothing but head shots and ignore the rest of the body.. you know what im talking about .. when shields are held overhead ( well those kingdoms that actually have a custom...

Samuel

this thread is me infecting the AA with my gonoSarcosiphilitic Drip.... take your dose you all!!!!!

( its only gay if you make eye contact or kiss)

Samuel

I just watched "a Knights Tale" and they didnt block for shit the whole time !!!! yet SCA fighting we actually block.. and actively try to a lot.. its SOOO not period!!! Frankly anyone who blocks my shots im going to take umbrage with and tell them they are not very period.. Thus, Have HON...

Samuel

Readin' and writin' wuz what them geekly monks did; the IT guys of their day. They weren't the sharp end. Sorry, I have to take issue with the implication that IT guys != sharp end. I have several friends that are "IT guys" and "geeks" who have served in locations where they too...

Samuel

im all for getting my arm hit.. if I leave it out there by all means.. just as im all for hitting an arm left out there.. just me but this is a game of tag with thick sticks and restricted targeting.. we even go so far as to allow the person getting tagged to declare wether or not the taggin was eno...

Samuel

hate to say it but revival.us is the only one I know that sells this type of hinge. it may be in stock.. you may get screwed... you will be supporting bad business practices.

Samuel

price drop to 1500.00 thats 700 off the price.. includes alienware mouse and lighted keyboard and headset.
wow account with 5 85 toons for 100.00

Samuel

the elbows seem to be a bit wide.

Samuel

helm is sold.. thank you all for your attention.

Samuel

personally im of the mind we are all adults.. if you want to take the field wearing a tunic and a beer can covering your junk by all means who am I to be the voice of reason... with that said I will constantly cover my kidneys ( there have been times when I didnt have solid protection on my kidneys ...

Samuel

the helm would fit a 24" head easy enough. whats size is your melon? the deal I was speaking of wasnt you actually. I keep getitng offers of 600.00 personally unless the deal is something I need in trade, in my view, 600 cash isnt enough IMO for a proven helm from a noted maker with a custom av...

Samuel

the time you will spend prepping that metal to actually make something from it you would already be done with what you intend to make.. IE spend the money and buy some "flat" scrap mild and make your time more use to

armoring.

Samuel

*some kingdoms, An Tir being one of them, have a pretty strong unspoken convention about targeting arms. It's very close to being a de-facto non-target. mental note.: DONT move to An-Tir as a lefty... got it Ive got the view that its a legal target and as such subject to targeting. ( and I wear vam...

Samuel

get rid of the barrels.. its not good metal for SCA use.

Samuel

setting on two possible deals. one trade and one cash sale.. thus helm is still on the market.. NOT taking lower than 700.00

Samuel

constantly until bullets began to take the field... shields predate most all armor...

Samuel

I have a metal cutting upright bandsaw .. Ive found using 1/4 blades I can cut more metal on that one blade than I can on a beverly before replacing the blade or sharpening is needed. the plus side is the other list of things you CANT use a beverly for.. a bandsaw will generally do the job. plus it ...

Samuel

thanks:D

Samuel

got a wow account id toss in w 5 85 toons for a 100 or so

Id rather get jacked by a pole arm ANYDAY than takin a kick to the head or consistant jabs.. its a damn rare thing to be knocked out fighitng sca.. all too common kickboxing and boxing. Id think youll be fine.. my perspective on the medical aspect ( after having blood clots and still eating rat pois...

Samuel

oh I forgot I have the alienware headset as well.

I could use a knutt welded mail ss shirt in the deal. ( full sleeves, I need them for a project. then use the body of mail for a hamata)

Samuel

im on my laptop atm.. Ill get the specs friday and post them here.

Samuel

I just bought this 7 months ago for gaming and well.. quit gaming ( had blood clots from surgery) I paid 2300.00 for it and wondering if there is any interest here for it. Id probably drop 500 off the price for a quick deal.

Samuel

I was under the impression these types of jousting shields where passive in nature.. IE hung from the neck and under the arm.

Samuel

very nice work!!

Samuel

IMO hardware ( IE crossguards ) do actually aid in breaking at the joint.. a 1 1/2 " section of metal on a flexible surface does sometimews create a bad spot.

an untaped, non crossguarded stick.. kinda not a realistic example..

Samuel

bump helm still on the market at 700 plus shipping.

will consider trade on a welded mail shirt ( I need the sleeves) or nice roman gear.
