I've been called to use them about once a year in a tourney I regularly
attend--- two young men from the shire always want to use them in a
bear-pit tourney.... I have my doubts regarding the reasons they want
to use them, but I oblige---
I have a 40" Musketeer in a DarkWood hilt that is stiffer than any
schlager I've ever owned... when I get a bend on a hit with it, it's
hard to say you didn't feel it.... especially since it has a standard
epee' button tip, as stipulated in the rules-- not a rabbit blunt.
I'm personally ambivalent but lean to the dying a natural death idea...
