    Just wanted to say "Hi!" from South Dakota.

    Hello. I just signed up for a fencing club out here in South Dakota (No, we dont still live in sod houses and teepees ). I have been wanting to start fencing for a few years, but I havent had the time, nor the means to pay for it. I am sixteen, hope I'm not too old or young to start. So yeah! Just saying howdy!

    Heh, I'm 20, and I started a year and a half ago. I don't think you're too old at all. Welcome.

    I started fencing at 42--there is no such thing as too old...
    Good luck and many years of good fencing.

    Welcome Farm-boy,

    But you do understand that when we say fencing, we are talking about sword-fighting?

    J/K - enjoy your experience.
    Take your time. Read carefully.

    ...you mean...I'm not going to be patching the fences where the cattle stampeded?! *sigh* Well, I guess since I already signed up I'll give it a shot.


    Hehe, thanks.

    Hi Dude,

    Don't let them tease you, us'ns out here on the lone prairie have to stick together! I'm 43 and I just started epee here in Doodah, Kansas and we all get the pony express regular now so it's no trick gettin' equipment!
    Have fun!
    Why do you not draw your own sword, poltroon... Draw and fight or I'll beat you black and blue with the flat!
