Shot to the forearm/hand...demi-gauntlet proves to not be good enough!

It almost looks like you're lining up a shot for one really awesome game of armored croquet, but I'm going to guess it's actually something a little more painful than that. ;)

If I had to guess, I'd say something hurts and you're cradling it...probably not hands or arms as you could stand straight up and cradle it.  So, what happened?

Stabbing your sword into someone!
your body language doesnt give me any signs of serious pain.
But then again you are in armor, And Im not an expert on body language.
But I Still Hold my Conclusion!

I was fighting Mahon at the Silver Desert Championship out in Fallon in August and was using a borrowed lenticular centergrip. Mahon threw a steep angled 'J' shot to my lead upper leg, which was my left, and I voided the leg while blocking with the shield and threw a counter. The sword skipped of the shield and into my cup without losing much momentum.

It' would have been brilliant with a round shield, kite or anything else but what I had.  :(

Below a pic of us around when it happened.

One word: Ouch.

A cup can really save you, but it can still hurt something fierce!

If only you had balls of steel like me. Then it wouldn't have hurt so much.
