More budget shileds are less likely to <BR>have been finished to such a degree (i.m.o. of course).<BR><BR><BR>>> Any reason why it wont have ahand in it, is it for demo use only??<BR>>> <BR>>Nope, its a fish-shaped shield ;-p<BR>>so Scott is going for straps, as per manuscript illustration.<BR><BR><BR>I
