The Armour Archive

Broadway

Alot of references to 1A1B.

Could somebody start a thread titled 1A1B, and then describe exactly what it is?

I missed the explanation somewhere...

Broadway

Nah, Cet's stuff is tough as nails, and solid through and through. No malice intended, just a heads up to you, Beau. Maybe you could look into using the helm halves from RFTH, and turn those spun tops into salad bowls or something... Anything so as not to have more of those monstrosities sitting on ...

Broadway

Chicago screws at my earlobes.

They work fine for me in regards to face thrusts. Never had a problem.

I've started using locktight on the chicago screws lately.

Broadway

Bo... you can get a head shaped helm top (ie: not spun), made out of two halves, welded and ground down from Rough from the Hammer Armoury for $55.

Pretty common knowledge.

Kevlar chinstrap. They are awesome. I've used them on every helm I've ever owned (and I've had quite a few).

Broadway

And August rolls around again...

Seems to me a while back, you said I'd get a helm in August... what year was that?

Hmmmm... what year was that?

Broadway

Glen is just in the denial phase.

He'll be swinging rattan before the year is out.

I AGREE WITH LEO MEDII!!!!!!!1

(on all counts thus far)

Broadway

Jenzinas, my google-fu is weak. Do you have any links to places that sell the Hanwei sword you mentioned?

Broadway

Stick this in a new thread Eirik. If I may... and I am not picking on Sir Leo, just using his words because they so eloquently convey the sentiment I'm trying to understand... but this seems like a good opportunity to gain enlightenment. I've mentioned before that I was away from combat for 10 years...

Broadway

2 general points. 1. Johno started posting here originally without the "Count" tag. It was only after folks found out that he was a Count, and started lambasting him about it that he switched over. 2. If you think what you post here doesn't affect how you are seen within the SCA because it...

Broadway

Eventually, you become good enough that the sport doesn't beat you up physically as much as it does at the beginning.

How fast that happens depends on how much you practice and fight.

Broadway

Not gonna happen.

Broadway

$10 + materials for armour?!? I can't believe you are trying to rip people off like this. That's pretty wrong man. I know personally, I won't hire an armourer who charges for materials. Plus $10 dollars??? I mean, you know we're in a recession, right? Jesus. You're gonna rip off the wrong person wit...

Broadway

Mayhaps its true.

In the same sort of way that dumbasses can learn things if they struggle enough at it.

Broadway

My theory is that its genetic. There is a speed gene. You're either the type of person that can be standing around when somebody drops something, and you can zoom down and pick it up before it hits the floor... or, you can't. No karate kid sanding the floor bullshit will let the folks that can't cat...

Broadway

I've given up on our Baronial Practice. So, I started having folks over to my house on sundays... Usually, its just "Grumpy McBastard" from the archive who drives up from South Carolina to fight. But, occasionally one or two of the Baronial Fighters shows up to spar a bit. We usually start...

Broadway

Alex, you're a genius. A super genius.

Broadway

Jess, what did you use to split the hose?

Broadway

Glen doesn't have any issues with anything.

He just thought this thread needed to happen.

Broadway

I started this thread to give folks a place to discuss their views on Combat Archery, so they would stop talking about Combat Archery in my thread (Nothing to do with CA).

Broadway

Hey now, this thread isn't about Combat Archery.

You's guys wanna talk about something like that, start your own thread.

Broadway

Thats ok man. I know its hard to come to terms with the fact that you misread something. I don't hold it against you. Its cool.

Broadway

My comments had nothing to do with CA. At all.

Broadway

Bad metaphor there hombre.

Broadway

1) I'd never argue with Johno. He's cool like a window A/C unit. 2) We're simply discussing the concept of tradition, and how that affects the greater whole of the sca. 3) We're not trying to entertain anybody. We're just bullshitting around a fire with 11,050 other people who share similar interest...

Broadway

For the shear relief of my bladder Mayeryke.

Broadway

Godric, I'm not sure where you are coming from here. Could you elaborate a bit? Clear up some of this? Specifically about the part where me and Johno are arguing. The first ten years of the SCA are nearly lost to time, as many of the original members are either retired from it, passed on, or simply ...

Broadway

But, your ambiguous definition of what constitutes a Tradition starts at an unspecified date, a few years (sic) into the SCA. Stating that CA cannot be a Tradition because it starts at some vauge unspecified date, kinda kills your argument.

Broadway

Apparently I've pissed off Baron Alejandro to the point where he is no longer acknoledging my existance. Apparently he has lost any amount of respect for my person for the following exchange (which has nothing to do with Combat Archery), that I had with Lambach on another thread (which will remain n...

Broadway

I just found it silly that you choose to hold to some tradition, and willingly abandon others... yet, hold to some growth, yet, willingly admonish other growth... You're holding to a baseline that is formed from your personal ideals on what is best for the society. Which is exactly what everybody el...

Broadway

You wanna "last word" this for a while, eh?

Broadway

Nah, that's cool. I don't feel like getting into it.

Broadway

Broadway

I don't know how I could clear it up any. I tried to make it as simple as possible.

Otto... one more month...

What's the deal with Combat Archery?

Nothing to do with CA
