That's the one!

I got that book as a kid,i still remember taking the boomerang shaped "arms" off my bunkbed and trying to knock mallard out of the sky as they flew over washington wildfowl fence.

Dan Mannix did a chapter on blowguns in that book,and if memory serves he did a chapter on hunting with serval or caracal,great read and some decent pics,theres also a chapter on hunting with sight hounds.

However you look at it, it's wrong hunting an animal that size with a bow if you don't need to. Bow hunting should be reserved for native people maintaining a traditional way of life, not immigrants who don't need to do it. There is no justification other than that idiot boasting he's dropped a bison with an airbow, so what? Native American Indians did it with real bows and from horseback sometimes.

Bow hunting for fun, trophies or just because you can is wrong on every level.

Ever had to have a pet put down? How would you feel if the vet said "drown it or strangle it, bash the skull in with a hammer?"

Blunt force trauma is the DEFRA recommended method of humane despatch for small mammals (up to piglet size).

 

I've never had a vet put down a dog. All my dogs I've shot.

 

Only natives should be able to bow hunt? Bit racist isn't it?

Lads that havnt shot these modern bows dont realise the power that they drive the arrows at.

a broadhead arrow cuts through lungs and heart, and light bone like a blade, with a crosshead type arrow head thats two blades cutting a 2" x through the target area.

as with rifle shooting its all about shot placement.

i have shot targets with a bow, but never hunted , but would like to try it if it was legal here.

Yes perhaps you would, and so would I, but on a rabbit or similar sized quarry,or even deer,but not a fecking great Bison, (if we had them here) those I would shoot with a rifle.
