The reality as you say isn't as good Could just implement required training and licensing like with everything else I guess. Don't remember if it's y'all or Germany or somewhere where you have to this big hunters ed course,where you graded on animal anatomy,shit placement theory then you have to go score a certain amount with your equipment to pass Did. It a lil odd though because when most think of archery and all the , whatever, lineage and tradition I guess , they think of the uk ( insert Robin hood cliches) figured y'all would want to keep that 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Similar to deer stalking. Must admit am hooked on the YouTube big game bow hunting vids. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think like hunting with a catapult the real skill is getting close enough to your target mate a heart or vital organ shot with a decent head at close range will drop anything pretty quickly it’s pot shots from a distance that would leave animals running round half dead carrying an arrow for all to see but how do you legislate against idiots easier to ban it all than police it sadly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TRUEBRIT66 1,471 Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 Latest purchase just over a tenner came with a basic carry bag. Used wood pellets and it flamed up for a good 30 mins and continued a heat burn for a further 2hrs does not give the heat out like a proper full size fire pit but looks nice on the table. You can buy a pot stand for a cooking if required so going to try that and going to use the pellets in the kelly kettle. Got the fireproof matt off temu for £4 as well. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
