Despite our efforts we are no longer able to keep up with the increasing number of incoming orders. We have therefore fallen behind in assembling and shipping products as well as in maintaining our parts inventory. Recent weather has slowed production and compounded the problem. In order to prevent us from falling farther behind and to facilitate the completion of existing orders we are temporarily suspending new sales including long fencing blades, and removing these product ordering pages from our site. Our hope is we’ll be able to return to selling some or all of these items this coming Spring. In the mean time our fencing dagger pages and our crossbow parts ordering pages will be available. We are shipping via the US Postal Service due to its reliability. If you are submitting an order to be delivered to an address outside the United States, please contact us with a list of the items you wish to purchase and we’ll calculate the best possible shipping price.
