What bow is it Simon?
A very cheap wooden bow (probably made in China) with absolutely no branding what-so-ever that - back when I bought it - just had a barcode on a sticker on it and no packaging at all.
Do you have any arrows for it?
Nope. If I remember rightly, the last of those I stripped to the shaft and used in place of a dowel rod for a poorly-fitted CD spindle ;)

I would nail it to the wall and smile every time you see it and buy a new one sjstuart. You can come to the club as a newcomer before you join also.

Stu I know a few of the club members 5 or so years ago were thinking about buying border bows and when they got in touch with them, were told that they could come up for a weekend and try out all their bows on the 25 3D target course they have before buying, that may be a good weekend away?

I've never shot a bow before, well not a proper one only what we used to make when we were kids and shoot mums bamboo canes with a sharpened point. I think there is a club at Raydon Airfield near the Farm and I've always thought about having a go but I don't have time to do the hobbies I've already got without adding more......... I live a sad life really............ work sleep work sleep work sleep.

Was the same way for many years... finally burned out and decided that in order to be more efficient by day I have to enjoy my life more by night (or, in this case, weekends and whenever an opportunity presents itself)

The Raydon one is a shop with a Range, not sure there is a club there tho, saying that to me shooting a set distance all the time is a bit borring, lol.

As a shop its also got strange opening times, I've been up there and its not open a couple of times, I heard a few people say the same... also very expensive...
