Popular among HEMA practitioners and historical re-enactors, it offers a lightweight yet tough training companion capable of withstanding repeated impacts from synthetic and blunt steel swords. ## Description Very similar to our Buckler, the Soldier's Targe is about twice the size and just as stout and reliable. Appropriate for training with all non steel swords, it's sure to provide years of hard service. Review: Most Excellent - Solid Little Unit - A very solid little unit. Will hold up easily against other synthetic trainers, and will hold up against blunt steel, it will just damage and break apart over time. But so too would a shield of wood and leather, only steel would prevent that, and even steel will get damaged, scratched and nicked. So this will do very nicely. Review: Muito bom - Resistente e leve. ## Features - Made of durable 1/2-inch thick polypropylene - Rugged handle that will withstand plenty of hard use - Hugely popular with HEMA practitioners and historical re-enactors - 19 inches in diamter - Weight: 4 pounds 11 ounces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084PTWZHT | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,902 in Sporting Goods ( See Top 100 in Sporting Goods ) #6 in Martial Arts Swords | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Soldier's Targe | | Colour | Soldier's Targe | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,899 Reviews | | Handle Type | Rugged handle | | Handle type | Rugged handle | | Included Components | Cold Steel Medieval Buckler Polymer Shield, Soldier's Targe | | Item Length | 19 Inches | | Item Type Name | Shield | | Item Weight | 11 Ounces | | Item weight | 11 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Manufacturer Part Number | 92BKPL | | Material | Polypropylene (PP) | | Material Type | Polypropylene (PP) | | Model Number | 92BKPL | | Pattern | Solid | | Set Name | Cold Steel Soldier's Targe | | Shell Type | Hard | | Size | One Size | | Style Name | Soldier's Targe | | UPC | 705442019190 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Colour:** Soldier's Targe - **Item weight:** 11 Ounces - **Material:** Polypropylene (PP) - **Pattern:** Solid ## Images ![Cold Steel Medieval Buckler Polymer Shield - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61G3VfCpyHL.jpg) ![Cold Steel Medieval Buckler Polymer Shield - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516IHGQlpKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: There is 3 different weights listed, from 11 oz to 4lb11 oz…… what does it weigh?!** A: I just weighed myself first time I did without shield I weighed 207 and second time I did with shield I weighed 211.40 so i think it weighs 4.40 it sure does feel like it. **Q: Would you recommend pairing this with a Machete for Home Defense?** A: Cold Steel avoids saying that the shield can be used for any self defense purposes for obvious reasons. It is made of polypropylene so we are left to guess what would happen in various threat scenarios. I keep mine by the front door to deflect and obstruct an advancing home invader. My little Cold Steel shovel sits beside it and is razor sharp so it can do the job of a large sword or a short axe, but only if there is 'room' to swing it. Your machete idea has the same problem. A very ineffectual weapon in a close quarters, face to face, struggle. I recently saw a video on YT where 'experts' combat tested each kind of weapon (sword, spear, axe and so on) against the others. None of the weapons provided any effective defense against a spear. Cold steel and others sell a wide variety of spears which are worth a look. This is the one that I bought from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ATUX7UG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can't say how it will perform in combat but I do believe that a 'thrust and parry' blade (or a gun) is what you need at the front door and bedside. Just my opinion. **Q: Will this allow me to parry casuals?** A: Yes, just make sure to remove the kick ash of war first and add the party ash of war. **Q: Do they make a bigger version?** A: No, the "Targe" is the largest size. If one decided to "improve" the shield, additional "materials" might be added to modify the shield to withstand higher 'threat levels' or increase it's size. I suppose that 'ballistic plate' or Kevlar matting could even be attached somehow. There are also a wide variety of the shields used by police for (for sale) if you want to spend that kind of money to get real protection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most Excellent - Solid Little Unit *by M***D on 2 September 2024* A very solid little unit.
