    I wouldn't have the strength to pull the bloody bow back anyways.

    Is it true the arrow wobbles as it flies - not sure if wobble the right word
    You can tune most instability out with heads and fletching apparently.

    You can tune out the wobble, it’s just harmonics, they still fly true.

    @Sarvo archers paradox,on release the nock end moves before the pointy bit.hence arrows are matched(spined) to draw weight.wrong spine = left or right,
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Had a good hunt with the young fella yesterday, he helped stalk in on this fella and get to 20 odd meters for a shot. He was stoked.

    Great photo of the stag and your little guy. My oldest hunted with me from this age and I hunted with him a couple of weeks ago now 36. It’s a shame ‘joe public’ don’t see the richness of bringing our children up learning these responsibilities and skills. This is what I live. Well done , keep it up.

    Oh - and the "Guide" in the above must of done a good job too
    Nice looking bush ah bit more open than the shit I was in in the weekend

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Dunno if this counts but I shot this buck today, it's no record breaker but has a nice even rack and my first proper antlered animal, the 270 delivering the medicine yet again, this guy was a gift at 245 yards
