A quick definition of branks:

Term: BRANKS

Definition: A long time ago, when someone was very loud and rude, they might be punished with something called a branks. This was a scary iron frame that went around their head and into their mouth, so they couldn't move their tongue. It was used to stop people from being mean and noisy. Another name for it was a scolding bridle. It was a way to make sure people were polite and respectful.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Branks (brangks) is a historical instrument used to punish women who were considered scolds. It was made of iron and surrounded the head, with a part entering the mouth to keep the offender's tongue depressed. It was also known as a scolding bridle and is similar to a castigatory.

Example: In the 16th century, a woman named Jane was punished with the branks for being a scold. She was forced to wear the iron framework around her head and mouth, which prevented her from speaking or eating properly.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the branks were used to punish women who were considered scolds. The iron framework around the head and mouth prevented the offender from speaking or eating properly, which was meant to shame and humiliate them. This punishment was used in the past to control women's behavior and silence them if they were deemed too outspoken or disruptive.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they blaimed it on their IT team for not updating it as out of stock when I paid but like buying something in stock in September then being told I won't get it until mid January is pretty wild. I do not hunt anymore but their mistake would of caused me to miss the entire season. If it wasn't so hard to get left handed ARs I would of gone elsewhere
oh that's kind of worth more than $140
that's at least $300
