  Best place to buy my first Foil? I'm trying to get my parents to buy me a foil for Christmas but it occurred to me that I'm not sure where to get one from, and I'm sure they don't know either. I dont own any fencing equipment and have borrowed up until now. Of course, in the wake of covid, borrowing is an issue. I'd like to at least get a foil and work from there. Where are the best places online to buy a good foil for beginners. Im not looking for something really expensive, but I dont want cheap garbage either. Im left handed and usually use pistol grip, but would be fine with french grip. Any recommendations?

  Hi all! Greetings to everyone I haven't met in person. I've been showing up to the Monday practices for a couple of weeks and having a really good time serving as a training dummy. I am looking to purchase my own rapier and fencing mask and would be very grateful if anyone could provide recommendations. I am thinking about something like this: http://www.zenwarriorarmory.com/catalog.php?item=249&catid=70&ret=catalog.php%3Fcategory%3D70 with a 35" blade. Has anyone had experience with these weapons?

  Fencing.net has some good mask options that meet the 12 kg punch test at under $100. I got mine there, and have been quite happy with it. I strongly recommend going with the removable bib option so you can throw the bib in the wash when you need to.

  Ryan S. asked:

  Does anyone have the means of getting in contact with a representative at fencing.net? Actually, better yet, is anyone in this group affiliated with the company? I was emailing back and fourth a while ago with a man named Craig about an issue involving the shipping of a parcel. Now suddenly fencing.net is answering none of my messages. I have also tried contacting them through their website. Can someone help?

  Post on the fencing.net forum? That might get some attention.
