Replies: 36

Hm. Speaking as someone who has a broken arm becuase of a minor leaping shot, I don't know why "leaping to increase power" is necessarily illegal. Excessive force is illegal. Leaping and not delivering excessive force shouldn't be illegal. HOWEVER, it's a helluva lot harder to control your power whe...

The point is very simple. The requierment of steel thickness is ONLY for those areas where steel is required. Or more specifically, the areas where we require "hard over soft"...knees, elbows, neck. If you're wearing thigh protection, the SCA doesn't give a damn if you wear 30 gague. it's gonna look...

Quite incorrect. The mass is necessary to avoid concussion, not whiplash.

I wish everyone would level thier thrusting tip at my face when closing. I pretty well always fire a cover shot, just depends on which side I'm going to as I close or what I'm trying to do.
