Hello all,
I've seen this topic discussed in brief on a lot of threads, but so far I haven't found a thread dedicated just to this so I thought I'd ask.
I fight with a minred, and spending time on Brotherhood of Red I'm seeing a lot of fighters using a back shield to help in particular against S&B, so I thought I'd get myself one finally after refraining for a while.
However, I'm not sure to what dimensions or shape I should construct/purchase one; I've seen a few that are a fw inches wider than the bearer's shoulders and few that are just as wide, and I've seen rectangular designs as well as kite shields.
Just wondering before I work on one I there are any considerations for size/shape that are important to think about, if there is an industry standard, generally things that would be useful to know. I've seen a lot of discussion on standard strap/punch shields but not really for back shields. I tend to fight with a 49" minred for reference.
Thanks,
Guy
