Here's my "armoury."

Over the fireplace in the center is my new Valiant Armoury Custom shield. Mr. Suttles did an amazing job. Started with a terrible sketch in Microsoft paint. Mr. Suttles sent me the exact image in a near-perfect mock-up the next day. It's even set up left -handed!

Staring in the right is a Windlass Maintz gladius, then a Kolombatovich Tercio rapier. In the center is my "oldest" piece, a 22 year old Kris Cutlery Excalibur. Then a Hanwei left-handed Torino rapier, then a Gen2 gladius.

Over the Tiki bar is a Windlass Viking shield. To the right a custom-handled Darksword Ranger, and on the left an Arms and Armor 12th Century Spear.

Around the movie collection is a Windlass Italian mace and Archer's Axe, along with a quiver/arrows. Underneath is a Martin Hunter Recurve. There are daggers matching the two rapiers on the second shelf.

Next up is (hopefully) a Valiant Custom Castille sword to match the Valiant custom shield.

Thanks for the compliments. The tiki-bar does clash. So do the v-drums and the elliptical, but I was lucky to get a room for my stuff.

As far as the bow goes, I read lots on whether to leave it strung or "un" strung. Most of the info on the trad forums said leave it strung/stringed. (?) It's a Martin Hunter, 55# lefty. Shoots great. Please, educate me on the strung/unstrung...

And to answer your question about strung/unstrung, I used to have a bow that I kept strung, and it eventually bent. It was a cheapy beginner's bow, but that's just my experience. Better safe than sorry, I think.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

eastman: that situation has been constant at MyArmoury for the last 2-3 years Nov 18, 2024 0:32:06 GMT

choseychas: Anyone have any info on MyArmoury registration? Been wanting to make an account for a year or more (can't remember at this point) but every time I've checked they've halted registrations. Nov 17, 2024 21:55:36 GMT

alinkinthechain: I also do love Boston. I've traveled a bit and nothing feels as wonderful as that city to me. I'm lucky to live nearby Nov 12, 2024 15:28:16 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT
