Tried slingbows and compounds but fell in love with trad, that’s traditional shooting off a bare bow with no sights . Obviously bowhunting is illegal in uk . But I am hooked on the bow hunting YouTube channels and the rush of larger prey . Been enjoying the learning curve of how to shoot trad. Some groups ov 10 yards trad I dare not get one mate I'm bad enough being addicted to catapults lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s addictive The chuck Adams book is good, never really got into Cam Hanes, I remember when he first came on the scene, he was different, not so commercial. I saw this yesterday and thought of you, decent price at today's rate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this yesterday and thought of you, decent price at today's rate. Looks decent that and a very reasonable price. But tbh mac ive fell in love with trad, just the whole stickbow seems a lot harder to master. And in a hunting situation you would have to get a lot closer to your chosen quarry. I’ve actually got the fellow I mentioned a while back who comes in my business, who comp shoots longbows. Giving me some private lessons for free, well paid in pies lol. I thinks he’s sic of the constant WhatsApp messages night and day asking him questions lol. Am just enjoying the whole archery ride. As for Cam Hanes I originally followed him for his fitness on social media until I got interested in archery, I like him tbh. I was watching an old YouTube vid of him shooting balloons at 150 yards !!! I was amazed at that tbh . And I’ve watched quite a few of his elk hunts which I’ve enjoyed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,478 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Yeah, I know what your saying about his fitness, reminds me of goggins STAY HARD "I woke this morning, put the water on to boil for coffee, then decided to run 100 Km as it was boiling" STAY HARD lol. The local stores aren't into trad, just compounds and crossbows, it's whitetail season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
