Ah. I'm in Amtgard in the US. Those weapons looked pretty sweet.

I know a guy whose got a massive wooden round shield, painted in a Celtic style, beautiful thing, I would love to afford something like that, but I'm stuck with a foam buckler.

I'm in Ontario, Canada. We suffer together, friend.
Those are the style of weapons we use at my Freehold...just boffer. Spirt of the game is more important to us than playing "battle bats"

I've been wanting to make one for a while. I'm working with flail prototypes right now, hard part is keeping them legal for more than one day of play.

I'm trying to get a hold of a decent axe, cause I'm a good ol' fashioned Vikingr.

Anyway, it's midnight, I'm gonna go to bed, goodnight various, strange animal-people.

I understand it's a bit more... Fluffy, for lack of a better term, in the US, light contact rules and stuff.
Depends on the rule set and how "cheesie" people make there weapons. Our park outlawed "battle bats" because they are too dangerous. A couple of us have done live steel sword training and can hurt people with them.

I’ve thought about SCA but never really looked into it.
