Archery

[sandbag47]

Ok I have only recently taken up archery with the kids and if yesterday shooting is anything to go by I think I need a bit more practice before putting anything up on here

 

[Cromm]

Ok, what kind of archery, target rounds or 3D targets? What kind of kit are you using ?

Hi, how you doing ?
Do you find that you have to go for higher poundage shafts for the bamboo than you would for wooden shafts ?

I am using full length shafts with light piles (70 grain) for my bamboo arrows, so i went up from 40/45 to 45/50, but no, generally they are well spine matched otherwise. These overlong arrows seem to match well with most of the bows i have made - generally in the 40 to 60@28 draw weights.

Well that was a fantastic opportunity to get away and have some fun. The whole family went camping with friends. Then on Saturday the eldest cub and I spent the day out on the water at Norfolk broads, with a lovely little sleepover in the middle of nowhere, a bit of archery and bushy stuff, then a paddle back for a bbq and a drink or two with the group.
Lovely weekend. Happy days.

 

[Big Stu 12]

Sounds like a lovery time on the water and with some BOws and arrows as well

 

[Cromm]

It was a great weekend camping, saw a fantastic lighting storm in the night which was lovely as we didn't get wet at all. We didn't see another soul for all most 24 hours. To make it even better just booked two holidays. Outstanding.

Where did you go Steve?

 

[Cromm]

Pmed you ozzy.

 

[Cromm]

Stu which bow did you use at the club shoot?

 

[Big Stu 12]

I used the Buck Trail Antelope #55 , it was good apart from it took me a while to get settled in.. seemed to always shot to the right..but that may have been me... found it a bit noisy but will but some pompoms on soon, and the grip needs a leather cover .

Apart from that seems a nice bow for a little money.. only time will tell.

Still not sure on a recurve tho. but like the extra power

 

[Cromm]
