I spent a bit of time yesterday shooting it and am impressed with it, I might go to the club Sunday for a few hours for some longer shots and a bit of stumping.

Cool, take some photos and let me know how you get on. I am making up some arrows for October to use when I am away.

I've got the big 51" x 4" circular straw boss going for a reasonable offer. Also have the smaller one up for grabs too.
Loughborough area.

Looks like i found my thread!

i used to shoot when i was a little boy, but as i got older (teenager) other things started to be more appealing............. Girls and rock&roll!! but a few years ago, i decided that i'd like to get back into my archery.

I'm a traditional archer (sorry to all the modern archers out there, I'm just not a fan of plastic/fibreglass bows or compounds) and i have a 50lbs flatbow and a 45lbs flatbow with recurved limbs (one of those with many names....... Field Bow, Hunting Bow, AFB.... take your pick!!).

I make my own arrows, and i'd love to shoot a bow i've cut and tillered myself one day. I shoot for my own enjoyment, but one day i think i'll go test myself at an NFAS shoot. Anyway, thought i'd share some pictures from a couple of weeks ago. I had a day off work, so took the opportunity to get some time in the woods with no one else around.

Great thread!! i have a 50lbs flatbow and a 45lbs flatbow with recurved limbs (which is the one i use mostly).

Someone knows their Buck Trails! I'm actually not 100% sure exactly what model either is, i've had them a long time, and the printed names on the belly have long wore off.

Cheers Stu, I got no excuses now not to improve knowing how well these bows can be shot.

Yeah you have some big foot prints to follow.........

Anyone done any archery lately?

 

[Cromm]

If so, how did you get on?

 

[ozzy1977]

I shot Whitefriars, shot like a lemon lost 4 broke 1 and stripped the fleathers off 2 more, all new arrows too, I blame it on the new bow. Last week shot excalibur's shoot at Oakwood and beat my PB by over 80 points and got gold, I now think the Zeta is going to stay

Happy hunting next week Steve.

 

[Cromm]

Cheers Chris, was a good week away. How did you get on at the shoot weekend just gone?

 

[ozzy1977]

Did you get any new toys Steve?
The shoot at Avalon was excellent their woods are stunning, loads of shots up down and across very steep valley's which more than makes up for the way I was shooting, well worth the drive over there.
