[SCA] Can I get 1400-1430 AD England Arts and Sciences Sugge

Post by Aaron »

Howdy,

Can I get 1400-1430 AD England Arts and Sciences suggestions?

We have an A&S event coming up in Spring and I'd like to branch out from being just a thug with a great sword. ;)

I've got Steve of Forth Castle's rivetted mail kit. Would swords, arrows, glaives, etc... vs mail be an acceptable Arts and Sciences test?

How would I do it?

I know I can get a leg of lamb, thaw it, wrap it in saran wrap a couple of times, wrap it in 1 inch thick cloth padding, cover it with the rivetted mail, and then hang it from a tree and let the various fighters get their close to real and SCA weapons and smack away at it.

Does that sound like it might work, or am I just finding a good way to ruin a good leg of lamb?
