Well finally ended up with a bow but still yet to find any one in Central to learn off

Check out insideout precision on YouTube. He has some really good instruction vids. Also John Dudley, NockOn is his YouTube handle. He has some real good instruction vids.

The problem with shooting at longer rangers with a bow is called jumping the string , whilst you maybe able to hit targets out past 40-50 yards it’s the sound of the bow , the arrow speed & the deers reaction all in one , I shoot a Ravin 400fps and so long as there’s no wind can put 3 arrows in a 2-3 inch group at 100y but it’s the above factors that come into play , last hind I shot at 50 something yards reacted incredibly fast & I waited for the perfect shot even waiting for it to lift its head vs head down (pre cocked ) and still the arrow landed a good few inches off the mark , iv been lined up on deer at 100y but decided a lot can happen inbetween , not to say I won’t give it a nudge one day but the conditions must be spot on .

Bump dusting the ol string off again haven't picked it up lately due to being to busy

I'm not in central but not too much further away. been keen to take my bow out hunting again its been a while. I wouldn't mind a trip that way to fling some arrows

Sounds like a plan I'm yet to kill anything with mine

Gday.
Just Purchased a recurve bow so I’ll be starting up shortly.
Heard there is a bow hunters club in Wyndham

go out and snot a few bunnies....will give you really good idea of how far is ethical for you.... and how easy to break and loose arrows.

What rabbits md I'm in tarras not wanaka haha
