That is too true.

We used siloflex with tennis balls taped to the end, and found out if you grabbed them by the (non-tennis ball) end and just chunked them they'd go up in the air and then come down pretty dramatically. They weren't that hard to aim, but (on the recieving end) difficult to predict in order to block. ...

Thanks Bjorn! That trident you made was pretty cool BTW.

I wanted to fight with it when I was up for a visit, but I didn't want to mess it up it was so pretty....

Captain Jaime, that's basically the shape yup.

Is this the stuff?

It was a slavic short pole arm/axe. Similar to a glaive, but attached at two points on the pole. I started doing more research into it when justus said to me at a demo a few years back "Vlad you're so slavic and don't know what a bardiche is?" Has anyone used the mandrake axe heads on a polearm eith...

Hi,
I've been fighting glaive for a little bit, and I'd like to make something a little more persona friendly. I've seen Sir Justus figiting with a bardiche and wondered if anyone out there had any opinions on how to construct one.

Thanks

Just don't put UA on under synthetic fibers. My old fighting tunic is some kind of blend, and both times I've worn it + the UA I've had heat problems. Like I gotta get outta this freakin armor problems.

I moved to Meridies from Atlantia, and being warned about the calibration differences I asked people to talk to me about their feelings on how I fought before and after the fight. So far I haven't had any addressed problems. I personally do like it when calibration levels are a bit higher, just beca...

Nice!
It's always cool to learn something new!

Son, there's little I wouldn't do for some of Bob's BarBQ sauce!!!
That's the idea, if you build gauntlets the spearfighters will come.

What practice in Swansboro?

I'm looking to find a spot in North Carolina that might sell the
materials needed for spear shafts. I have some fencers who I've talked
into fighting spear, but I only have one spear......

They're definitely worth the money, everything I've seen is quality and
lasts. I had some trouble with the slag on the basket hilts, but nothing
that a grinder and a few seconds couldn't take care of!
Total agreement on the 'not very pretty'. Worth it, yes.

I'm about to start work on putting together some basic full gauntlets. I've made some armor(helm, articulating elbows/knees/demi gauntlets) but I've never made gauntlets before. The project is to get some put together for our spear fighters in the barony and I was wondering if anyone had any tried p...
