We had proper wooden ones in my day.

 

What are they all talking about now? It appears to have gone all techy

 

They'll have someone's eye out in a minute!

 

Proper bows and arrows.

Anyone play cowboys and indians

 

Is that like 'doctors and nurses' ?

 

Could be

 

Havent got a bloody clue, something very gay I think

 

Pink bows?

 

 

I also used to be in to archery.

I started with a little 24lb recurve bow, and when i was around 14 my old man bought me a compound similar to the pic. I used to love it, and yes, Agree with previous poster, the only thing that took some getting used to was not taking the full weight of draw.

I then got into air rifles when I hit 16-17 and have had alsorts from springers to full on Daystate PCP's. But the drive to Rivington shooting club got a bit much and the only shooting I do nowadays is a little on my aunts farm.

My little cousins still get the recurve bow out each summer, they love it!

 

Julio Jordio.....are you like the Geordie/south american foootballer they used to interview on the Fast Show

 

dont joke, I have seen plenty of pink bows on the lines!!!

 

Simon, is this what you wear?

 

Sorry to dissapoint you, just jeans and t shirt I'm affraid.

 

my dad used to take us to work and the highlight on a saturday was, pushing things throught the heat shrink wrappnig machine, and riding on the pallet truck

 

My dad build us a "shed" thigng in the back garden and we used to sleep in it .. leaked, smelt but was ours !!

 

ultimate. i helped my dad build our shed, its still standing 33 years later, its made of asbestos

 

Do all you ex-archers miss not being on the radio then?

 

I'm biased against field ever since a most upsetting round at Centre parcs of all places! My first go at archery, recurve bow, no sights and I managed to completely fluke a shot that hit the drawing of a squirrel right in the kisser. They argued that it wasn't a kill shot! Well, technically, yes, but come on, the arrow was significantly bigger than the squirrel, I could hav hit him in the foot and it would have been fatal!

I shoot in Kent, Simon, I'm still a beginner; only been shooting for a year. Need a new bow too really, but the car has taken all my sodding money at the moment! Unfortunately the outdoor evening shoots have just come to a close and soon it'll be indoors and frostbites on the weekend!

Great sport though! Came along at just the right time for me, too.

Have a look at NFAS (National Field Archery Society) - Latest News

Shooting 3D's is great fun mainly as you have to know the size of the target, and elks and moose are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!! Really throws your range finding off.

 

I hear you shoot all over the country
