Thrand and Eldgrim continue the long awaited spear and shield video instructional series with Thrand's overarm throwing slide with step by step instructions and its various range capabilities which seems to make it superior and why it matches ancient and medieval depictions. So sit back grab an ale or mead and watch how to use and do this historical technique uncovered from ancient Greek and Spartan vases and artwork well into and past the Viking age. Special thanks to Roland Warzecha for getting me to prefect this techniques for we both observed in in art work and wanted to see it replicated in the modern age. I also believe this what was lost over time and why spear shield was so dominate and revered in early combat!
