SCA Spear Man Shot In Head by Archer

[sijar1]

nice video. spearmen are great targets. check my helmet cam of doing combat archery in a SCA field battle skirmish. i shot their best spearman twice, then the third time they got a shieldman to run around our flanks and chase me down the field.

[Darkfeather21]

@SirCorby Pretty much. He inspired the hellions to do the same. Luckly, they only had marshmellow crossbows.

[Darkfeather21]

You know, for a while, this was the only legal kill shot in the SCA, so one of my barons just kept shooting people in the nuts. You know, cause it doesn't count.

[SirCorby]

@Darkfeather21 In other words, he was an asshole?

[Archris17]

NICE shot!  Wait, still alive? Like hell. At that range, a bodkin arrow'd go straight through the helmet... Well, that's the theory anyway :P

[dakkenly]

I woulda been pissed at the archer who fired through a small window where he could only see my face

[TonySwallow]

Why? Takes skill to shoot someone when all you can see is their face

[dakkenly]

@TonySwallow It's not a legal shot in most games though

[fromabox]

@dakkenly yeah it is. if its not a theoroetical wall, is in something we have to imagine, then its a perfectly legal shot as per SCA rules.

[dakkenly]

@fromabox I mean if you get shot in the face, or neck, it's not legal, but it is in the SCA only

[fromabox]

@dakkenly Ah, i didn't realize you were talking about non-sca groups.

Hardly see it, anyway nice head shot

[ChurchV50]

I know it glanced off, but that was still a pretty sweet shot.

[gld1010]

I hope it glanced off ... :-)

In real life, he probably would have been dead at that range.

Good shot!

LOL Trying to catch the arrows always hurts.
