Throwing Shields?

Postby Blitz. » Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:51 pm

Might be stupid but i honestly had never heard you couldnt do this.

During a fight i tried distracting my Opponent by throwing my ALL FOAM shield Sheild Face first towards him.(it Worked lol)

My question is, since we allow Checking as bashing, why wouldnt this be allowwed?

I would understand safety with Cored sheilds, but honestly it'd hurt more to get bashed with a Red then with the amount of force it'd be to throw a shield towards you. Espically since it's quiet easy to deflect a sheild.

Also i know it could end badly for your sheild if its stepped on wrong, im just wondering if it's legal or Illegal.

EDIT: thanks Kage! So i'd assume it is legal. Thanks.
