It's all good.

For the record Johannes is a huge supporter proponent of History, Chivalry and the SCA. On top of this he also has been supplying quality goods for use in all SCA activities for many years.

He is also a very talented fighter. Hits plenty hard too. :wink:

Well previous use of and elimination of punch bucklers and shovel handles suggested otherwise.

Every so often we seem to forget why we eliminated something and then have to start over. It's dumb I say...dumb.

I am surprised how well that old musculata has held up. Still looks great after 9 years of constant use. I like the shoulder mods you made.

Re: Punch bucklers

I cant find any rules in the marshal's handbook against them... Can anyone else? How about a buckler with very short thrusties top and bottom like a mini madu?

Just be sure to soak your tabards in whatever combustible fluid you use for the sticks. That way you won't have any calibration issues. You won't have to worry about the distraction of flaming swords.

And remember to film it for that fail blog :twisted:

It's just easier for the marshals to not have to make a judgment call as to who the "some guys" are. Bolding mine. Just because it's easier doesn't mean it's the better route. I hate the fact that, as a society, we are now living in fear of making a judgment call. There are no visible clu...

It's the "some guys" that is the problem though. It's just easier for the marshals to not have to make a judgment call as to who the "some guys" are. Did they mean to make their stick more firm or was it an innocent attempt to salvage old rattan? It's all speculation so it's just...

Glue gets stiff when it dries. This is the purpose of glue in general. Instead of asking a marshal to make a judgment call it's just easier to use a new stick rather than bending the rules even if only a little and with no malicious intent. This is the point of rules. They should be followed and the...

Thrusting tip padding is not a joke though I bet it would burn for a while and have that napalm effect if ya stab someone with it.
