Re: Sherri,

Handy enough, at any rate!

Re: BearcatMike,

Charlie's market are jugger players, medieval re-enactors, and Live Action Role Players. Kids love them, too!

Re: Pat,

Yes, that's where they originated, with re-enactors like the Society for Creative Anachronism. Those were made with rattan wrapped in foam and duct tape: the technology has improved to be lighter and safer. The whole idea is to be able to kill everyone with nobody getting hurt.

Enjoy your lunch and the cooler weather. It appears you have some sewing to do. It's a good thing you are handy with a machine. Regular smile

Thanks for the knowledge. I have to add boffers to my mental word dictionary. Sounds like a profitable hobby. Enjoy your day.

I visualize boffers being used at jousts, where the combatants are not on horseback.
