Archery

600 isn't bad Ozzy With a cold or not with one.

Nice going Stu, sounds like you had a better time at this shoot than the last one.

Ouch a year that's not good.

I'd love to have a go at archery, but around here you have to book up a year in advance just to do a beginners course!

Have you tried the NFAS (national field archery society ) ? We shoot 3d animmal targets at unmarked distances in the woods

The last Shoot I had a really bad one, it was just over 400...

I am thinking about going up to the Long bow shop to have a look at a few Bows

I've just searched for local archery clubs so far. I know a couple of people that used to do field archery, but I think that was before they moved to this area. No idea if there is anywhere local that does it, but I'll look into it. Thanks Ozzy

What you looking at Stu?

 

[Big Stu 12]

Not sure really, do like the idea of going back to AFB......



Maybe a Bikerstaff one... thinking about going away from any Glass backing ect.

Nice, you know me I like my wooden bows.

I saw a lovely Bamboo one at teh shoot with horn Nocks.... it was #50 at 28", nice to pull... and was a nice Orange with Black fade at Grip and ends, made by Ravenbeake.. from Canada.. but the price was nice as well, and only a 28" draw... no good for me I need about 31"

I will have to Google that make. I've got my eye on a couple of different bows if the GN bow doesn't come through.

 

[ozzy1977]

The postie was rather kind today by leaving this for me to look after

 

[Cromm]

Oooo what make is that Ozzy? Coming back to the straight limbs....

 

[ozzy1977]

I call her Zeta

 

[Cromm]

Oh a andy bow, nice one. What poundage did you go for?

 

[ozzy1977]

This is 48# and it don't half fling them out. off the fingers its the same as my Bear Grizzly but I am getting 2" more penetration through my target. It will be interesting to see how it compares to Richards new one which is also 48#..

Have you worked out what to do about your Great Northern?

 

[Cromm]

Oooo are they the same make or is his the other one he does I can never remember the two names of the bows. Something beginning with S maybe? No see lots of bows I like the look of but not sure what to do........

 

[ozzy1977]

Richard bought a new blackbrook zeta a couple of months ago and sold his old one to Mark Frost, a move he regrets.

 

[Cromm]

What's made you buy one?

 

[ozzy1977]

I fancied having a flat bow again and this happened to pop up on ebay at the right time

 

[Cromm]

Nice one, so how much did you pay for it?

 

[ozzy1977]

£300, but then to buy it new it would be near £550 as it has the bamboo upgraded limbs and god knows how long the waiting list is.
