Any Archers in the house?

Guilty as well. Shot bows from the time I was a cub scout. Got real serious around my mid teens, and then again in my late twentys. Still have and shoot a Bear recurve stalker. Never liked compounds.

Couple of years ago at Scout Camp the some of the I over herad some boys from another troop who were going on about a real shooter at the range. I wanted to look him up to arrange a friendly competition, only to find out they we talking about me, I'd been passing time there just messing around, seems like they had not seen fifty cent pattern on a flight of arrows from a recurve.
One of the other scoutmasters had a compound, we decided to shoot for score; he nudged me out at 25, I got him at 50 and we tied at 75; he was shaking his head and saying he couldn't believe I could shoot that "old thing".

Wish I still had my yew longbow, got broke in one of my many moves, now there was a Bow! 100 yards right on the button! Anybody know where I can find a nice 6' peice of yew?

Weather with a firearm or a bow, time spent on a range practicing, is what I call group therapy! Nothing like a a nice tight group!

I haven't touched my bow in years now.. Been thinking of getting it out and having it gone over.. Maybe fling a few..

I haven't been gun shooting much either, just too darn expensive..



Has any of you gotten a "Robinhood"?

Expense is right! I can't imagine how expensive 5 hours of shooting my .308 would be.

I'm not good enough to do it consistently yet, but from time to time i'll nail my previously shot arrows. Though the "theatrical" version of the robin hood isn't possible, i think just getting one arrow lodged firmly into the backside of another counts just as much.

Before you traditionalists get on me for using a compound bow, remember that you're using the internet forum and not a slate chalk board.

No one's said anything of the sort, and a couple other people have mentioned their use of compound bows, so it seems unnecessary to tell them not to get on you for using one as well.

Here's mine BTW.



Martin, 75lb draw. I prefer to shoot the recurve though, as it's more challenging. Still though, sometimes when you really want to shoot a tight group, or place some bets, this one always delivers.

Welcome home

I also lost my passion for modern firearms and hunting was never quite the same after a tour in Vietnam. My love of history got me into muzzle loading and they are still the only guns that I shoot, so you might want to give that a try.

Thats a good looking bow you got stick and string is the only way to go.I shoot a 60 lb jerry hill long bow

I have one, that is quite enough thank you, the first one is way cool the second and beyond are just expensive, carbon arrows are about $10.00 each for quality ones.
