My martial interests are sword and shield combat, spears, archery, well...most weapons actually- jousting is high on the list, I've dreamt of it all my life and would like to be on the field by my mid thirties. I like a variety of time periods, from the Classical and Archaic age to Early and High Middle ages. I like late period arms and armor but do tend to bemoan the loss of the shield as it's always been such an iconic and interesting piece of panoply to me. Ian- I have in fact ridden on a number of Blackhawks, my battalion 1-12 Infantry 4BCT 4ID was an Air Assault battalion so we spent a lot of time in UH60's and CH64's. I'm definitely glad I joined this forum and forsee good things in the future for me, as I've started to feel you folks are an accepting, generous, and honorable lot, and that's my bread and butter! I can't wait to learn more, and have already learned a lot from Sir Ian on how to set up my panoply correctly. Currently I only have ancient Greek kit but do have a nice chainmail hauberk. I'm going to continue to expand over the years and hope to one day be on the field practicing combat with some of you outstanding folks!
