Sean,
You should have ton of Amish Tack/Harness shops down that way. Do what I do go in and get a strap cut to what you need. Cheap easy and you can inspect the leather before they cut it.

P.M. Sent with contact info and when most likely to find me..

Angusm0628

I'll call dibs...Cash at War for Bow at War acceptable??

Angusm0628

I'd like a run down on the crossbow and bolts...

Angusm0628

Just want to say. Purchased one of the woodgrain spear shaft and an Ice spear tip kit..
The shaft on these weighs 6oz more than the super lightweight red ones and are light years ahead on appearance.

Personally, I don't have issue, but then I am not running this.

Also one other advantage to buying at Pennsic.. Being able to talk to the maker his/herself. I bought several things online only to have to modify them up to fit (I was impatient). If nothing on the shelf fits how you want it to, you have the option of saying "I like these but they need to fit ...

I think Leo picked up a set from Ice.. Might wanna PM him

Angusm0628

Surplus City Chain stores tend to have sheet stock.

Angusm0628

Are you willing to deliver at Pennsic?? If so I'd be very interested in the Yellow/Black.. Simple C.O.D transaction??

Sir Tristen has the right of it I believe. With the exception of Emergency aid any medical treatment has to be by consent of the parent/guardian. If I'm not mistaken there is a small grey area in there though. I believe if there is no parent or legal guardian present at the moment of injury EMS can...

I picked one of these up from Ice on Saturday, along with his tip kit...Put it together yesterday... I'm really gonna have fun at war with it.. I'm gonna go ahead and say "thank you" to both Logan for getting this ball rolling and Ice for spreading the gospel on these things. After all the...

Joleicia,
If you need Marshals, I'll offer my services. I am not a member of the chivalry nor pretend to be one. I am however a marshal and a working class mercenary stiff.

Where will this be held at within the camp? I've never been to Pennsic, so I think I missed the stated location.

Main battlefield. The various lists are color coordinated. You'll have plenty of guides and perhaps a cheering section to get ya there....

Angusm0628

You don't know Ivan then obviously. I don't know what the other masters do or don't do and I don't really care. There are so few of them anyway I'm not terribly concerned about the brush I use to paint them. Start a different thread if you want to argue about the worth of masters. I know the one we...

1.Do you feel that you are obliged to fight in war scenarios that include force multipliers? The answer for any knights in fealty to their king is yes plain and simple. Your question was not "ARE you obligated" it was do you "FEEL" obligated and yes many of us do. You are a mast...

Angusm0628

Very Cool, and congratulations. Glad you decided it WAS worth it after all.

I will look for you.

It *really* increases your range. If you are adept at twisting and bending and leaning way back to duck out of the way, the defense is not that difficult. -Graedwyn May have to give this a try tomorrow at Southern Region War Camp.. Being a short lil bastage that I am, this might be something worth ...

Spears give you that deep down warm fuzzy "Where'd that come from?" feeling...

That's why I love em in melee....

Being put on the Household homepage links section.

I fight with finger gauntlets (Padded not grounding)..I happen to like them alot as does a Housebrother of mine who owns a pair as well from the same manufacturer... YES I have gotten some owwies on the fingers when I don't remember the golden rule "No blockey with fingers" but for me, I m...

Angusm0628

Put on my schedule of things to do..

Angusm0628

I have my aluminium Haubergeon and aventail powder coated. Otherwise acid etch or anodizing is the way to go

Angusm0628

Yeah a little jaded I would say. See I started out with "ban it entirely no matter what" and have now moved to "ok use it all you want just make the ammo safer." It has been a two year transition from "ban it entirely" to "use it all day long with safe ammo"....

Angusm0628

So what's the problem with reducing the risk and still allowing CA to be in play? What's the big problem wih that? I don't understand it. To be honest, I have seen an incredible amount of Anti CA coming from yourself and Balin that colors my view. Perhaps I've become jaded and expect the natural pr...

Angusm0628

Edit to add what I was responding to I don't care that the number is small. What I care about is that it will only take one to end a persons life and that can easily be avoided while still allowing CA to be in play. Somebody wins the Lottery even though the chances are slim to none. Someday someone...

How is it not a design flaw that you can squish an anti penetration device (not a semi penetration device) by hand and force it through a grill? As you said, it had to be squished (physically compressed enough to get it out). It could not be removed simply by trying to force it out on it's own and ...

Angusm0628

Riese, The only bargrill penetration I ever encountered did not include an injury. It occurred at the Final Kingdom Crusades. Upon investigation by Master Padraig and a few others (including the guy with the crossbow bolt hanging in his bargrill) we concluded the following The APD had been stepped ...

Out of curiosity, when was the last injury from an arrow bouncing sideways into the eye slots? And would it not be safer to require meshing inside of helms? That way the eyes are safe from splinters coming off a failing sword as well...I mean if safety is truelly the issue it only makes sense to go...

Angusm0628

You're Young...You heal quicker than I do by a longshot.. Practice is the only way to prevent bruising (and perhaps some quick mods to your armour) but the bottom line is..Did you enjoy the actual combat enough to WANT to do it again?? If so then do not give up, rather pace yourself and do it right...

Angusm0628

Frieman, I'll be arriving at Pennsic the Wednesday Evening Prior to war week. I'll also have my Field Kit and the Household field kit for armour repairs and mods. If you swing by on Thursday or Friday mid-Late afternoon. I can get your gauntlets fixed up... I promise we won't get you TOOOOOOO gooned...

Angusm0628

Check with Therion http://www.therionarms.com/reenact/helmets.shtml He probably has a couple in stock and could get you measurements..

Angusm0628

Your kidding right? Still nothing from this?? Getting time to contact someone about this...
