Buckler Question

I just now looked at the official SCA fencing rules and could not find size specifications for bucklers. Am I missing something?

  • There is no limit, as far as I know. At Pennsic some of our guys fence the big battles with war heaters from their rattan kits, and more recently with purpose-made lightweight fencing scuda that measure almost 2' X 4' . I'm not a fan, personally (I'm more effective with a case of long rapiers) but a big shield is a good way to keep an inexperienced melee fighter alive and effective until he develops his melee head.
