In this video we look briefly at a device with shooting through from Meyer’s 1570 text There are a few ways we can do shooting through, so this video looks at some of the basic considerations in this play. The movement comes from [], working primarily from Forgeng’s translation. As always, this is just an interpretation of the play that works for me in fencing, and fits with the book - if you have a version/interpretation I’d love to see your own take on this :-)
