saying that i'm looking at crossbows at the minute

Ohh Mate nasty scary things although i did hunt with one a few times in NZ , very effective for hunting but more like a rifle than a Bow , deffinatly removes a lot of the skill from archery ,although there was one in my tool kit in NZ

All tools of the trade in my job over there , unknown crossbow , a 223 Ruger bolt ( rubbish ) Beneli semi 8 shot 12 , the realtree shotty rifled barrel a rem 22 rimmie semi , a 20 bore side by side and FN .270 ,got a call from the boss , go spend $6000 on kit or give it to the tax man !!!!!!!!!!!! , if you want to be an Archer , find a traditional long bow made from Yew if you can find one , its an amazing art to master , my longbow is 6ft with a 63 lb draw weight ,practice practice practice , iv shot a bow for 26 years , i can make a bow and arrows , its a wonderfull skill set to aquire

i spoke to him mate ,he said you have a archery club in your town ? he said if you want to buy a bow look at two makes hoyt, and a company called matthews, there the top two also said before you part with any cash you need to know your draw length ,ie as in chest arm measurements for when you actually pull the string back as each bow is different ? he said any good archery shop will measure you up before they sell you a bow ,he said if you see a bow with the model name of ultra tech buy it as there not top model but there bloody excelent bow hope any of this is of help mate
