Ready for Battle Kite Shield, Wood Finish

The Ready for Battle product range offers great basic products for young and new players shopping for their first set of equipment. Ready for Battle is a great place to start if you are new to LARP or just want to gear up less expensively. Although the quality of Ready for Battle products is comparable to the products in the regular line, the level of detail and realism is less exact.

This is a semi-curved kite shield inspired by 10th to 12th century Normans. With a wooden texture and finished to look like wood grain with an iron rim, this shield will fit perfectly in the hands of an adventurer or infantryman. While the design is simple, this Kite Shield is timeless and classic, and can fit almost any LARP game you can find. Wear this Kite Shield left-handed with the use of two adjustable canvas arm straps on the back for a reliable and solid grip made to last. This shield will withstand continued use at a LARP with regular maintenance.

All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. We recommend using Maintenance Silicone on a regular basis, taking care not to apply the spray to the handle by first wrapping it in plastic wrap. Silicone spray maintains the flexibility of the latex coat and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product resistant to wear and tear.

Store your weapon flat or on its pommel--NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapon in a cool, dry environment.
