Hey there, I'm Jake and I make videos about LARP and LARP accessories.
I’m not paid or sponsored by any of these companies to speak on behalf of their product. I’m just a free consumer with Adobe Premiere and some sound effects.
If you're interested in LARP and want to find one near you reach out and I'd be happy to point you in the right direction!

Hey Jake! It's Jack! I didnt know you had a channel!
I wound up painting my entire set. For rust reasons, i live in a humid state. My question is, do you have to polish and oil your armor set often?
I was looking for a larp.crossbow for so long! Thank you!!!
Hey there friend, do you happen to know if he’s still making crossbows?
He should be, give him a message!
I'm happy for you! I actually put an order down for a custom gambeson and chausses not too long ago and I'm waiting for that as it's being made. I ordered it from Medieval Extreme which is a great company with responsive customer service.
That's awesome!
Dagorhir for some reason only allows 12 inch draw for some reason.
big yikes
how can i buy a crossbow?
send him an email!
I've just ordered one, thank you so much for the review! Also, you can make that arrow type much safer by adding a 2.5" square cube of open celled foam to the tip, using contact cement to secure it, then wrapping fabric and fabric taping it down to the haft. The foam on those is a bit harsh at less than 5 ft.
So turning it into a boffer arrow? I'm not one to yuck anyone's yum but that's a hard pass for me.
I love Cross bow, its very cheap, but in Our country India is very costly due to heavy import duty and Taxes. Your explaination i like, you keep making some more videos , I subscribed to you .Love from India.
Thanks for the support!

Your bookshelf is an insult to bibliophiles…. And I respect your boldness, sir
Haha I am the devil
Is the "body" of the bow wood?
Yes it is wood!
Ebay-Amazon-Etsy BEWARE. There is so much false advertizing on those sites that it is caveat emptor. Medieval collectibles or Kult of Athena are resellers. They do not always carry realistic stuff but at least you are very much going to get what you are looking at on their sites.
Couldn't agree more
I wish Florida had a larp culture like it seems that you guys have.
It has a pretty stable boffer scene!
@LARP Review oh I know, I've stared a Dagorhir unit, and that eventually turned in to an Amtgard park. But so much of what goes on down here is minimum garb and just focused on the "git gud" kinda outlook.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking to start a kit starting with a Steel Mastery gambeson and haven't been able to find a decent review of one.
Glad it was helpful!
Does the crossbow maker have a website, Etsy, Facebook etc? I'm very interested in the piece, but I want to see options.
Check his email in the description.
How well do you think this would work with dagorhir
Pretty well, I've used mine for a couple Dagorhir day battles. Shoots boffer arrows just as well as bolts.
Can you show us the elusive "Lord Bova" since you always introduce yourself as such? (would be cool, but no pressure). Anyways great video
The Lord Bova in character?
I have had two of them swords the tip broke off
Same here! Took a couple months but the tip broke right off in the middle of a fight. Not bad though for a 30-buck-chuck!
Loving these videos (and starting the google search for LARP in my neck of the woods)! Small note tho, $50 + 3x $13 + 3x $3 is $98. Maybe I missed something in that calculation tho! Keep up the good vids! (And if anyone knows a good place for a beginner to get into LARP around Chicago/Wisconsin, let me know!)
ah shoot, where the hell did $78 come from? Sippin' on the mead while editing, I see?
Love the rune armour :P!!
While the maker's makes a excellent looking crossbow, they forget to add a arrow retention spring! That's why your bolts need a notched nock to hold onto the string.
Thats my real complaint! I'll have to add one of my own!
Pretty cool kit, lobed the video, don't stop👍🏾
Thank you for the support!
is that metal on the front sharp ?it looks a bit rough
Looks like metal but actually it's shaped PVC pipe!
When do we get to see a full kit video
a full kit video?
@@LARPReview yes I am really loving full armor videos where people show off the armor they own
Hi from swordcraft Brisbane Australia!
We're gonna have to talk haha
Sc Represent. You really should Australian LARP is pretty huge.
Hello from the Alaskan north! Great video ya'll.
Hello skirmisher!
Dude! Swear as much as you want. Love your work!
HAHA thank you!
Would love a video highlighting footwear or pants options!
I can definitely do that! Any models you had in mind?
@@LARPReview I've heard good things about vikingleathercrafts shoes. For pants, any good cheap ideas for making scrubs look better than, well, scrubs?
Constantly happy to see these uploads. Keep it up good sir.
Thank you!
I really dig the armored mask.
I'll pass along the compliment. Kade makes exceptional leather armor!
Fun fact these are not latex weapons
You're right, after recording this I learned that "latex weapons" is a big misnomer for most of the weapons!
@@LARPReview I some colder larps disallow latex and plastidip weapons because they harden a bunch in the cold
@@saul94923 good to know, I've never heard of that but it makes sense!
Found you on Facebook, really excited to see someone else doing larp gear reviews on KZread. Keep it up, dude!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Finally a show that looks into LARP products. Also crossbow is best bow
Can't argue with you on that!
Finally someone making the important content this platform needs. Subbed.
Thank you! I appreciate the support.
for safer arrows would you be willing to test the arrows from B3 imagination studio? they produce arrows for bicoline.
Absolutely, they're on my list!
$50?? That’s almost too cheap, especially for the quality xD. For some reason it never occurred to me that crossbows exist. They seem so effortless to aim and require way less skill (which is the point of the original crossbow I guess). Definitely going to look into getting one, thanks for the amazing video mate!
Thank you hahah I love this piece. So much fun!
These are just plain awful. Neither of these would pass muster at our larp, let alone any of the big games in Europe.
Why is that?
@@LARPReview Do I honestly have to explain it to you? Take a look at the costumes and props from some of the bigger games in Europe or the US, or even Bicolline in Quebec Canada. Better yet, attend one like the Gathering in the UK. You'll understand immediately.
I'm looking for a critique here, hopefully something constructive.
Bro larp is literally adults playing pretend dress up. Get off your high horse and let people have fun.
The book bindings facing inward tell me your a masochist.
Haha honestly I don't reread many books. I tell people I like the look more than having a collage of different colored bindings but the better answer is that I'm just pure evil.
Chows emporium do some really nice quality off the rack stuff however they are UK based, which may be a problem. That latex mask blew me away: it looks so great.
I'll have to give them a look!
UK based is definitely a problem
I love the look of the sword. For future reviews, I highly suggest you show us where the point of balance is on the weapon.
I can definitely work that in! Thanks for the support!
👍🏻
Very nice!
Thank you very much!
You need more viewers mate this is great content and the editing is great 😂
I appreciate the support, thanks!
I thought armstreet were based in the Ukraine not Germany
I think you're right. I must have mixed them up with Burgschneider. Good catch!
LARP Review I badly want their monk outfit, good quality stuff but certainly not cheap
@@mercer5718 definitely not cheap. Well made, though. I'd save my money and wait for a good sale!
I bought the gambeson, its decent but the straps are cheap leather and the sizing is a bit large (I'm thin/athletic build). It doesnt offer much insulation neither in colder weather (late season). Mytholon weapons are amazing, the solid grips are great.
The sizing is definitely worth note. It's almost a size too large.
