All the shenanigans on this thread re-ignited my lust for an AFB.................


Silly me went on Merlins website and saw the Bearpaw stuff at almost half price................


I now have a 45lb Raven on its way to me (my mates workshop!) and likely a divorce shortly after!!

I am in soooooo much trouble

Grrrr - Bearpaw stick at £180. Wish you'd not shown me that - however I'm sure I'll be happy with my Legend. Getting my arrows tomorrow from Aardvark.

Well, shot 30 odd arrows tonight and I'm no expert but this is a fine Bow, especially for the price. Smooth action, minimal handshock (none if I'm honest, not sure what this is anyway - but my hand stayed noticeably unshocked). Got some raised eyebrows and a lecture on only being able to compete with bare Bow recurves. But frankly I'm only really competing with myself.

Full review to follow in it's own thread when I can sort out some photos.

Mightily pleased.

Well, after much delayage from the good folks at Merlin, firstly with the bow quiver I ordered at the same same being out of stock and then the wrong bow in the wrong poundage in the right packaging being delivered they finally after 1 month sent me my new toy........

Bearpaw Raven 45lb @ 28" (By the way, they are still 45% off - makes them a great buy)

First impressions are VERY favourable, looks grand, draws smooth & when I get an hour later I will set it up and have a couple of ends in the garden and report back.!

I fancy this will be my new number 1 bow........... have a couple of opens and some unfinished business (finishing higher than third!) this month so get them out the way and I'll put Mr Dorado away along with my competition head and just enjoy my shooting!

Stand by for pics and resurrection of the "show you bows" thread!
