Once again this isnt the place for this...but I will be short. You cant have everything.... I think a shot needs to hit clean and solid to be counted.... bottom line. I think to ask for a single handed thrust is a bit much. A lighter standard for face thrusts is Society standard....but an arrow is n...

Steve... talk about irrational.... If there is a catastrophic failure of a shafted arrow...it can be potentially deadly... That is a fact. There is no defense for that. It cannot be denied.

Get rid of shafted arrows completely Society wide. Go to a poly pipe bolt standard and up the Max. poundages on bows Only. They perform better than Golf tubes (which I never had a problem killing with), and are much safer than shafts Shafted arrows, if they fail catastrophically, are potentially dea...

Sources for banded armour?

I remeber looking through Norman's Silk Road site and seeing a drawing of a Mongol in Banded Armour.
I have looked through my references and cant find anything remotely like it.

Does anyone have any sources on banded armour ....and hopefully specificly Steppes armour?

yes.... very wrong...


The Physics of the armour of Europe was designed to protect the man inside against European weapons...

Much of the Japanese armour of our period was desinged to combar vastly different weapons with different physical mass, properties and use.
