Another useless thread...

Killjoy · 06-26-2012

If you have an issue with a longbow, try a compound bow. With a longbow and a recurve, the draw weight is the same all through the draw.
With a compound bow, the first part of the draw is the heavy part. Then as you get further back in the draw, the draw weight is cut in half. It's much easier to hold the bow with the arrow drawn.

Here's my grouping when I was trying to decide on which bow to choose.

Once I was trying to sight in my bow, here's my "Robin Hood" arrow.

Please excuse the cell phone images.

If you come to the states, let me know.

What about a cross bow. Are they allowed in your area for hunting?

Not sure about a crossbow. Pretty sure they are considered like a firearm.

No I didn't. Didn't they do a show on that? Did they say it was busted?

Pseudo HDR, Michael? Cool.

Speaking of cool, this weather is bizarre. It's actually kinda cool this morning. I've got the doors and windows open to try to cool off the house, but I almost have to close it up because it's too cool.
