| Shields All sheilds should be based on
historical models and be constructed out of appropriate
wood (1/2" thick minimum). They must have 1" to
2" of soft ordinary foam rubber on their fronts.
They must also have 1/2" of foam (any kind) on the
back. Their edges must be wrapped in two layers of
pipe-insulation or 1" of high-impact or Landau foam.
Shields must then have their edge and front covered in
cloth. Small hand bucklers may be made the same way as
shields.
 
Shield straps and handles
should be devised in accordance with historical models.
