Post by bloodyhenry »

Hey, random question! What are the little straps on the back of shields called? The ones that are used to grip the shield and use it...Thanks in advance.

Hm...is there a really sophisticated name or something official though? It seems to simple for them just to be called grips...Thanks you two. :)
