Thanks Tint,
Actually amazingly me and john are about a century apart. He portrays a 15th century German landsneckt (Although he has been known to portray a Tudor era English nobleman) and I portray a 14th century Swiss landowner( And a 14th century Kievan Rus when the mood strikes)

Neither one of us would normaly be playing with the sling and/or staff sling (In our main time periods). We would both be carrying crossbows ( which we both own) for missle weapons. For hand weapons I would be carrying a halbred ( Yep, I have one) and a baselard ( Ditto) as a back up weapon and he would be carrying a pike ( Which he owns) and a katzbalger or a dagger as his sidearm.

But we definately have side intrests as well, Mine is obviously the sling/staffsling along with a few other weapon styles outside of my area of portrayal.  His is siege engines/warfare.

All in all it makes us a very intresting group.

Looks like a lot of fun!  Awesome pics!

Your outfits made it all the better.  If i were living in that time I'd be carring a staff sling and a sling everywhere I go.

Me and Badger are finding out that we are a rare breed. So Ya might be the one and only in your particular branch.
Now if you are in Oklahoma or the surounding areas there is going to be a class in Tulsa this weekend.

Not quite, I have trained the next generation of slingers in my group. I have at least 4 kids, age 9-16 who are turning into fair slingers.
Also in the neighboring Barony (Thescorre) is a group of Roman soldiers who want me to teach them in the spring . I can have my own battle company soon.
