I also have to agree with getting rid of the comet cursor stuff. I won't install it and closed your page after it tried to install it.

What I'e always been told is shoulder to shoulder (or just a touch wider) and short enough to straddle. Seems to work pretty well for the people I know who use them.

A good spot top start might be to simply cut down his current shield. Take a few inches off and see what happens.

I have the book. Unfortunately, the drawing is not of a period item like mnost of them. It is a redrawing similar to the stuff in the Osprey books and the detail stinks.

I just made a sword with the Anshelm quillions. They are very nice. THe pommel is way to heavy though. I don't want the balance point right at the quillions and it was going to be less than 2 inches out with the pommel on there.

I would guess that your range of motion problem with the elbows is at least in a good part due ot the cops being too shallow. That's a common problem with SCA arm hanress in general.
