XS Buckler – Extra Small Round Economy Buckler Shield (xs)
XS Buckler is an economy shield for new foam fighters. Wear it on the forearm or upper arm. Or a punch shield for small kids.
This budget-friendly xs buckler is great for new fighters. A decent defense against an archer’s arrows!
As of February 2026, we have consolidated the 12″ buckler design. Instead of offering a 2″ economy, 2″ premium, and 1″ premium… we now only offer the new 1.5″ economy. It is the perfect solution! Small enough to grip in your hand. Wide enough to wear on your arm. 1 design for 2 uses at a great price point.

“Feels great, works well when fighting Florentine and protecting the elbow and torso from pesky arrows and pickoffs” Gagez 1-2-15

I tried it out on Sunday at our local Dagorhir practice. I was surprised that it stayed in position on my arm while I was loading and shooting arrows. Looks good, and arrived in good time.
Thanks.

I used this for my monster shift at Fractured and it’s wonderful for pole arm fighting! I’m very happy with this model and when I get a little more cash I’ll be jumping on more of your stuff! Shields are beautiful! Thank you!

I ordered the green version of this buckler shield to pair with my older green minred sword, they look & work great together!! can’t wait to test it out on the fighting field. awesome work as always from my favorite blacksmith!! thanks ya’ll 😀

Super comfortable! I have a small stature and surprisingly this still fits great around my arm. I’m going to have to trim the strap a bit because it hangs off when I have it around my arm, but that’s just because I’m itty bitty. I’m sure this will be amazing for my sparing once ye ole plague is over!!!

Foam is solid and as light as can be, practically feels weightless, it also doesn’t hinder range of motion, stays strapped and in place while wearing it on my upper arm. Overall super satisfied, it’s a quality product I got three of them one for myself and two for others. Personally, as a polearm/red sword user it’s a life saver vs archers.

Very solid, and I recommend the premium strap choice. A great starting buckler for kids. Easy to hold as a punch shield for adults, if needed.

Very comfortable and versatile. I bought this to pair with a custom 48″ quarter staff and it works perfectly! Very glad I got the better strap, much more comfortable
