Hi, yeah not the best prices or gear but it can help to hold the bow to see if it is what you are after, but you are correct I wouldn't buy from them. At the time I got my Metis bow it was £98, I was able to pick which weight I wanted to shoot with the handful of shop arrows they had which worked out for me, I had traveled to one of the quicks shops for a bow I wanted, it was me and two best mates that went, both my mates came away with a bow but the bow I wanted was rubbish in the hand, that trip saved me £215.
Perris seem to cater for the compound archer more than anything. Haven't been for over 5 years but thought it may help...
If anyone is near Debenham and wants to try any of my bows drop me a PM and we can try and work something out???
I also have a handful of 3d targets that are sitting around here and at the out laws that i could maybe give up one for the group if you haven't got any yet??????

Yeah I did think that myself they do have a good selection of compounds, and some take downs, they also seem more intersted in selling somthing there and then then helping someone, they only had 30lb flat bows in said they could get them in for me , then served someone else...
we have spoken about getting a couple of targets, but depends on what others want to do and see how things go.

One of the guys has a hi density boss that he is bringing with him for use as a target, Chris and I have spoken about trying to get a couple of second hand 3D's
Well let me know what you are after and I will see what I can do. They have been repaired and shot at but that is the point of the game right??
I am looking forward to doing the course, should happen during september and with luck it wont be when i should be camping. I am lucly in that I am surounded by meadows, so practice will be quite easy if I can get permission of the landowner to put up a target
well I've done the deed... one bow and 12 arrows ordered......... I went for the Buck Trail Blackhawk 45lb in the end... with 12 POC full length with orange and yellow fetching.......
Cant wait to get it in my mitts... but now all the savings gone.....
, and they have to order it in so sometime next week...
And the Disco passed the MOT

Depends on how much paddling you want to do and where. Inflatables are great for the putting in the boot thing. But take a while to inflate when you get there and are nowhere near as fast or nice to paddle as a plastic/royalex boat. If you are just going for the occassional family cruise it should be fine, but if you want to do expeditions in it, or willl use it regularly you would be better with a plastic one.
If you aren't in a rush, autumn and winter are the best time for bargains on ebay. You could also try nucleus watersports in clacton. They often have second hand stuff that comes in, and will give you good advice.
I you have a link to the boat I could have a look if you like, but have only paddled and inflatable a couple of times (as I hated them)
I have access to a few plastic and royalex canoes, one my own and some I could borrow from Colchester canoe club, in case you want to try some out.
Hope that helps
John
