Mate honestly just get a recurve and treat it like your catty I never picked one up in my life my lad took me on an archery day and I came first or second on every event 

Funny enough Greyman,  a lad said that to me the other day. Said if you can shoot a catty fine, you should be ok with a bow.

On Sunday I ordered a cheap recurve bow off Amazon only thirty odd quid to see if I could learn how to shoot a traditional bow with no sights, it only has a 20lb draw. So I googled the fec out of how

Mc Hull would,nt your talking to a man that can I.D a roosting blue tit at 500 yards with nothing more than torch, he would track the bear naked apart from wellies and finish it with a single blow to

Bit of practice at bottom of kennels. Got to say I prefer the triangle bow, am sure to a purist archer it would be a gimmick or china eBay junk for £140. But for my novice learning curve it shoots lov

Watched quite a few of these bow hunting vids on really large quarry, and to be honest I find it quite obscene. 

I know our ancestors did it etc etc, but they didn't have the benefit of technology or weaponology that we have these days.

Nah, I really don't buy into it all.  

I  Get that argument , I really do , by when you read chick Adam’s search for a mountain lion , you’d gain a new perspective

Great interesting thread. The adrenaline level must go through the roof especially hunting what can be dangerous quarry with a bow.

I haven't killed anything of much substance with a bow yet but I've drawn on some boars and the like and man theirs something,that if you let it , completely comes ober you in that moment. Is some of the purest ,close like I'm honestly having a problem describing it without getting all spiritual but man that's about what it is. 

Will say though hunting something on the ground that can kill you as easy as you can kill it is addicting. Noting like staring down a 300lbs boar with gleaming white cutters at 10yd. He see you you see him and he's a coming and he's gonna try and f**k you up.

Feral bulls are another one , probably closet thing to a cape buff I'll ever get

Noticed in a lot of the vids I’ve watched . Some of the quarry tends to run on. 

Your gonna get runners most of the time . You don't get the hydrostatic shock effect with a bow and arrow that you will from a bullet . That and animals are just way tougher then what we give them credit for I've seen deer get perfect heart shot pumping blood like a fountain and they will still run 50-60yd

Side note , some how stumbled on a Aussie hunting page a while back and apparently bow hunting the feral camels over there has a it of a cult following, wish I was still in the group, some really cool people to chat with same with the NZ deer cullers
