\"Daggers<\/a>
Daggers being tossed during the Missile Weapon Tourney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Usually when Im sitting around and a thought strikes me its something like, “Man, I gotta pee…” The other day though, I had a fun idea.<\/p>\n

For some time Ive been trying to promote thrown weapons of the field of combat (Missile Weapon Tourneys). In reading of the Marshals Handbook something stood out…<\/p>\n

“A combat archer may carry and use shield or pavise; however, as long as they are carrying it, they cannot span nor fire their weapon.”*<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course when I remembered the passage in my head it was verbatim. Of course it was!<\/p>\n

What is to prevent a combat archer from carrying a shield with a bag of throwing daggers or axes? So in this way if there are two combat archers working together, the one carrying the shield can act as a wall to protect the bowman. There are many ways it can play out and all affected by the specific scenario and terrain.<\/p>\n

But this sounds like a fun idea. Not only does it afford a CA to play with a shield, but hucking pointy sticks at a rapid pace sounds amazing to me!<\/p>\n

Im gonna have to try this at Spring Fling I think, what are your thoughts on the idea? Viability? Fun Factor?<\/p>\n
