Yup I was, forgot about that, I guess its so new there are not any reviews out there, I was looking for a cheap AFB, but not the ragim wolf as it is quite hand shocky at 45lb and above. The Black Hawk that Stu and Bob shoot aint bad for the money but I want something different, The Falco Legend is the current winner,
Alot of people say the falco is a good bow, never shot or seen one but reviews seem good. You are welcome to try my lil creep out if you want ? It's not cheap but it's may give you more insight into what afb to good for ?
Not sure weather I'll make the Shoot on the 3rd, its the Suffolk group meet but with only me and another taker at the mo I thinking about caneling it, it would also be handy not to have to rush home from the group meet and pack for the moot...
Personally if I cancel it would suit me the most.. but if I get enought to make it worth the land owners while... we will see

I think the Falco bow is only sold by a couple of companies in the UK, and unsurprisingly none around here. I will send an email to falco to see if they can do on at 45#@ 25.5" for me. Richard Head longbows are selling them for £160 at the mo and I can have it in orange too which may help me stop loosing it after looking for lost arrows

I have been working on a couple of refurb jobs over the last few days, I picked up a pair of Bear Cub's off fleabay last week, one just needed refinishing as the varnish had crazed and started flaking off, the other had a few stress fractures in the glass and had the same issue with the varnish. They date from 1963 and 1968 and draw weights are 29# & 35#. New string should be here today so I can have a shot or 2.
I bought these by mistake really, I knew Bear made bows for children and my logic chip kicked in and said that as bear cubs are their children then these must be for children too, they are not they are 62" long. Apparently what I should have got was a Little Bear, Oh well the search continues.
In my haste I didn't take any before pics, but will take the finished ones

Would be nice to see these.
I had a good day, new arrows seemed to do nealy everything they were told to and I didnt break or loose one . It was just Stu and I in our group the other chap who should have been with us joined his mates and didnt tell anyone, needless to say that group of 5 held up 2 groups of 4 and us 2.

That's good about the arrows, not so good about the other fella was it one of tge new guys who Stu was meant to be taking around( Roy ? ) . If I hadn't had my head down the loo for most of the night I would of been there today. Rubbish timing as I was really looking forward to the shoot.
Hope you get better soon mate.
The chap was one of the old lot, double barreled surname, short and shoots a bow with training wneels I believe.
The new arrows were 45-50# cut to 27" with 100grn piles and 4" fletchings, I made 7 as I found 5 rubber blunts so made them up for a bit of fun.

Oh ok, still a bit rude he should of know better. That's one of the reasons why the groups should be a max of 4 people, because it can take an age for the group to shoot.
Arrows sound good, same colour fletching as your other ones ?
