needlefelt swords and mock-combat

[Daniel S Peterson]

To answer the second part of your question, the whole point of the needlefelt system (which I first introduced back in the junkelmann days so not to hurt the horses in our mounted fights with wooden swords), is that everything else in your kit can be authentic. They will not destroy authentic shields or dent expensive helmets like the heavier practice weapons of wood or blunted steel.. There must be a great deal of material on this subject on past RAT threads you can look up.<br>
