very well done! I hope to make those type of dueling shields for my group someday. Very good demonstration.
Wallop! Never seen shields used in such a manner. I don't think I'd like to try it without a sturdy fencing mask!
Thanks for the kind comments!
Nice sword swap at 1:28. I cringed at the end of this. Are those spikes blunted!?!
They are a wee bit spikey, but not enough to penetrate a fencing mask :) The do cause dents though!
At the end of the day, it's all about being in control of whatever weapon you're using.
now that's how you use a duelling shield
that was a great show we put on today Bob, how's the head from this fight?
It was a slammer of a shot, but Paul controlled it beautifully!
I'm still as handsome as ever!
I'm sure we will see just how handsome you are on Saturday night
