Been a good day today at the Oakwood Site, meet up with Cromm (Steve), after a chat, we wnet to the practce butts and soot a few dozzen arrows for a while, until we started to get a bit brave and tried from differnt angles and distances, following that we moved around the site, shooting from different angles and distances at some of the other butts around the range.

Steve let me have a shoot of both his folding bows... One i liked very much, the other as soon as I got my hands on it I lnow it was not for me, very nice looking bow though, thanks for that Steve... I know whats on the want list now......

Had a great day out in the woods, lost one arrow... Think its about time I got a fletcing jig......

It was good to meet you today Steve, we will have to make another day.

Hi Stu I had a great day doing archery and chewing the fat with you today. I had a look at my arrows and found that I must of left one of mine at the club also....... I think it must be near that wild boar, I mean in the kill of that wild boar. I was going to ask you if you had a nocking point on your bow as I bought some with me for you to use. They are in my archery bag so if you want one I got the grips to put them on as well?
Cheers again
Steve

 

[Big Stu 12]

Lol... Think we must of got carried away trying to find the worst places to shoot from... Lol..

So two arrows down....

Ive put nocking point on i got some of them, and used a pair of crimp pliers i have for coax connectors... Thinks for the offer though...

Ive been looking at the http://www.archers-review.com/bow-reviews/great-northern-critter-getter-56-58-at-28.... I sooooooo want one but cant find their site.......

 

[Big Stu 12]

Lol.... Found it.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Cromm]

Www.gnbco.com
I had a look and a look on tradgang it looks like they don't make my bows anymore which is mad if you ask me !!
If you like the little creep bow I can see if my friend still has his so you could try that one out?
If it works out you may save £200 on shipping........

 

[Big Stu 12]

At the mo I cant afford one..lol.. Maybe next year... And many months saving, lol

 

[Cromm]

Always the way Stu.

Glad you 2 had a good time, pity I could not make it but I had our son to look after.

I like the idea of that folding bow if you look at the options on the makers site I think it is listed as a option for $195,

How was the wind up there today? we had it very still yesterday going around the 5 or 6 targets

[Cromm]

As I said today the bows tick all boxes for me. I love the folding handle it works so well for easy on carrying and keeping safe.
If you want to go to the club for another shoot ozzy, Stu just leg me know and I will try and make it.

 

[Big Stu 12]

[ozzy1977]

Tough one, sitting around a camp fire or getting cold and bored sat in a landy all night

 

[Big Stu 12]

Just been on the import duty/tax calculator...... And the grand total for the foldy bow.....


£765.......

 

[ozzy1977]

That's going to sting the wallet

 

[Big Stu 12]

Yeah.... But ant she a beaut.........

May well have to be a devioce.. Pressy........

 

[Cromm]

I like the bushbow that is the next bow I would buy if I was going for a new one. You forgot the £25 charge parcel force would want as well Stu...... £790 isn't too bad for what you get.......Stop it Steve you have enough bows already........... but it would fold up small so no one would know.......

I keep looking........they have one in white ash........ In the green finish........$725... the one I priced up as a custome was $950.....but that was with the folder....

And its 57 @28....just right for me now..... My 45 is getting light...

But thta would mean a new set of arrows as well........
