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

Just a bit bushy just a bit. Got to be honest, find it fascinating that such big game can be harvested with a stick and string mate 👍

Kin el, mate, you'll be walking your lurchers with natural baling cord by next month!!  Lol.

Only jesting, mate,  I'm finding your enthusiasm slightly infectious.

Had a look at a few compound bow vids last night, on YouTube, very interesting.

Seen it advertised in the past mate, never read it. 

I saw you mention bowmar before regarding his crocodile, here's his wife's.I remember when the bowmars first came on the scene, he got a lot of hate for spearing a grizzly. They have now turned their hobby into a business, they have even bought a $200,000 camera to film their hunts.

Still learning to shoot traditional bow off the shelf . Had 1 lesson off a competition longbow shooter at his house. Said I was doing ok self taught really. He had me doing drawing drills eyes closed and a couple of shots eyes closed. Felt like yoda and skywalker Jedi training “ go on young Leo use the force , the archery is strong in you ! “ lol . But am still enjoying the ride. I’ve been practicing shooting at random objects to suss my gaps when shooting.
