Well if some one did that to my Wife....there would be some serious problems....off the field.
You do not hit ANYONE after they have yielded.

sarnac

well.....this 10 ft range is meaningless here.... as long as the arrow clears the bow they can shoot you. As far as the other issue goes....My wife was bored after being in the SCA for 15 years so she decided to do Combat Archery.....she had to get through a Primary Auth first and along the way foun...

sarnac

if the first thrust was thrown where engagement was questionable then I say you should have taken the second (touch kill face thrusts here).
If he was already engaged...then I agree with EM Conal..... take the first

sarnac

As I said in the other thread... I dont beleive that there is some mystical level that you attain to hit hard. Any newbie can be trained to deliver a telling blow in short order... The issue is how hard I have to hit YOU in order to deliver a telling blow... This is the issue that needs to be addres...

sarnac

I think the issue of calibration is better looked at by not saying "who hits harder"...but by saying "who TAKES harder" The force needed to deliver a telling blow is developed very early on in your training... anyone can deliver a telling blow...I dont know where people get the idea that it takes so...

sarnac

As did I,

Sorry I didnt catch up with you later...
I had way too much fun though.

sarnac

I will look for you

sarnac

So...I am down here in Florida visiting my Parents and I am going to Trimaris Crown Tourney...
Is anyone from here going???

Sarnac

sarnac

Vitus.....

You didnt answer me....

How long have you known???

sarnac

I thought about this very hard before entering Crown.... Then I went and won the damn thing and everything I thought of was absolutely wrong.... I do not beleive persona has anything to do with being King.... Its all a mishmash of SCA customs, with the flavor of whatever persona the ruling royalty h...

sarnac

Sir Richard....

Do I still have to bring the beer if I am King???

If I have a retainer get it does that still count??

sarnac

You Too???

Lets just tattoo "clueless" across my forehead...

My impending elevation will be at Winter War in Woodstock Ontario on Mar 2nd.

I will sit my vigil that day and give my answer in court that evening.

sarnac

Ok David....for you.... As some of you know my wife was being elevated to the Order of the Laurel on Saturday. Well the ceremony was a wonderful affair. However we made very sure to seperate the elevation and our position as Heirs to the Throne... Well when the ceremony was done the Queen asked my w...

sarnac

well then Vallconnan....

you and I were the only two...

sarnac

Damn it Vitus....

DID YOU KNOW TOO????

It seems that I was the only one who didnt!!!

sarnac

I would work on conditioning, carido is a must. If your endurance is high then you can fight longer than your opponent...tire them out.
Also running through the movements of throwing shots in slow motion is extremely beneficial to developing good muscle memory...just make sure your form is right..

sarnac

Bedlam...
I have 19 inch calves and I wear a pair...

I cut them down the seam in the back about 6 inches and stitched in Elastic....
they fit great now.

I have to agree with Morgan here... Some months ago there was a tourney in which the 7 deadly sins were represented by 7 fighters of worth.... 1 was the Crown Prince, the other 6 were all Knights, and most of them Dukes... during the tourney I fought all 7 "sins" and lost to only the Crown Prince......

sarnac

lamellar...

mine is both light and flexible while providing more than adequate protection

sarnac

I got mine from the Sportsmans Guide for 15 bucks

sarnac

Dukes and Counts are fighters just like everyone else....they do this because they love it... Lets take this one step further..... should sitting royalty....ie. the current Prince and or King.... ...fight in the tourneys? I beleive ...No. The current royalty already have their spotlight so therefore...

sarnac

I always thought that the Pas community tried to reflect the feel and flavor of the later period tourneys....however.... and please correct me if I am wrong here.... but werent many tourneys themed and attended with "fantasy" armour for the period? Such as attending a Passage of arms in a greek or r...

"STEP AWAY FROM THE EPEE OR THERE IS GOING TO BE TROUBLE...."

sarnac

Well Sir Diolun brings up a point that I use a great deal... I watch the elbow and sword arm..... the shoulder can be deceptive, and can be the source of many fakes....but the body only works in certain ways... body mechanincs are pretty standard with very few exceptions... also....twitches in the t...

sarnac

wow...if you just authorized before this practice....I salute you.

You look far better than I did when I authorized.

sarnac

My wife uses siloflex bolts in her X-bow...they work fine...

sarnac

I am just waiting on you letting me know if the boot I wanted was possible...and what the base price would be...

sarnac

well see I am 5'9" and I find that Staying out of range works REAL well...

oh and ....

HEY!!!!
VITUS!!!

now its twice...

feel loved yet?

sarnac

ok...so now that I have been curtly cuffed and told to "stand up and pay attention you young pup" by our illustrious Cheval.. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/wink.gif ... How do you plan on moving this from the experimental stage where it is now...to widespread use among the fighting community at l...
