Can I still fight?The SCA has very strict rules about minors(<18yrs of age) participating in combat. The simple answer is yes the SCA does cater for minors with written consent supplied by a parent. The SCA requires a parent/guardian who is a financial member to remain on site while their minor is attending any of our activities. What different forms of combat does Arrowsreach offer and what are the age restrictions?Light/Archery Combat with parents consent the minimum age is 16. Rapier Combat which is similar to fencing, with parents written consent the minimum age is 14. Armoured/Heavy Combat which is armoured full speed, full contact combat with wooden weapons. With parents written consent the minimum age is 16. How much does the equipment and armour cost for combat?The start up costs vary greatly depending on a variety of factors; the form of combat, whether you're capable and prepared to make your own gear, and if purchasing armour, what standard of armour you decide to purchase. Arrowsearch has loaner armour and equipment which enable you to experience combat before spending the time and money. As a general rule most combatants make the simpler parts of armour and purchase the more complicated items from an armourer. It's very rewarding to make your own gear and typically people take on such projects in a social setting and are very proud of the end product. There are always people more than willing to lend a hand teaching you how to make your own equipment.
