The BoW makes no such distinction. Anyway, if you want to cause some head trauma, just punch 'em in the dome with your shield instead.Amtgard Rulebook wrote:Illegal shots stop the shot and pause the action if necessary for your opponent to recover (i.e. if you hit your opponent in the face, stop combat until he indicates he is unhurt).

If it mostly hit my shoulder below the collarbone, I'm going to take it, personally. I mean, if it hit my head hard enough that I couldn't think to know if I'd been hit anywhere else, well, no, I wouldn't take that. But you see what I'm saying.
However, what bothers me is when people don't take a relatively horizontal shot to the shoulder that BOUNCES into the side of their head.
EDIT: I almost forgot: As a rule, do NOT throw vertical shots with a Red of ANY kind. This is how people get mad concussions. Also, * off at you. Throw at 80 degrees to horizontal, but never 90.

So then what if he's a big name fighter? Does that make it ok?
If you're gonna call a graze to your head a head shot, then is a graze to your body a body shot?
Melannen wrote:No, Jimmy's saying that if you call something that barely touched your head a head shot, by the same logic if something barely touches your body, you should take it as a body shot.
Thomas MacFinn wrote:If were to I throw the shot I am talking about horizontally instead of vertically the added hip rotation would make it bounce off their shoulder, would ring their ear, and would possibly drop them to the floor. I swing too firmly to be throwing horizontal shots anywhere within a foot of the head.
