Thanks all!
@Morphy - The first session was on September 19th, and I recorded the wrap up on October 19. So one month to record everything. I knew that the the 3/4" was going to hold up much better based on my earlier impact tests, but it was still able to impress. I've got it in my head that I want to do some tests with 5/8", but that's not going to be this year.

how many shots to make a hole on that plywood?
I don't have that information right now, but I should in a week or so (or whenever I get to it). I didn't tally any hit totals while cutting the video together. But I do want to go back through the hours of video and tally throw counts, target hits, and "diana" hits (quoted because the circle I made was 20 inches across, so it's slightly larger). Once I do that I'll post the totals here.

It wouldn’t be much fun, but it does look like a good shield would keep someone in the fight for a long time even under a barrage of stones.
I think it would definitely have a chance to. Although as Kick mentioned, there could be other concerns outside of just a bone break. There are still so many questions I have that I hope to get answers to.
