War Practice & Demo pic.
« on: 2013-04-14, 03:05:10 »


Not sure if y'all can see this but I was out in the sun (am now burnt), at the Silver Desert War Practice & Demo today on the grounds of the Wilbur D May Museum.

I fought... a lot, and I even killed the Prince few times, was halberded hard by my mom, & fought a few folks I rarely do. Also anyone who says HEMA & SCA don't mix is not baking correctly.  8)

Awesome. What's a little sunburn when you get to spend the day in armor, right??

That, sir, is an assault spear. I like the poleaxe! Where did you get the head?

Yup, it's an assault spear with a high capacity shaft too. ;)

The axe head is one of the ones that Windrose Armory sells. Whats better is that it's my moms poleaxe... and I'm about to use it to kill her in that pic.

That's it. Kill your mom with her own poleaxe. You ungrateful child, you. :P

I'm not sure if I should say she raised you better than that, or that she raised you well :D

That's a great group you have going there!

The fact that your mom is a part of it and kills you daily, that makes it even more epic.  I like your post,

I just wish some in this area could believe that as well.
