Good luck bow hunting in the morning.

I'm taking my 13 yr old son out duck hunting if the weather and waves aren't to rough. Lake Erie can be a Biotch.

i make my own english longbows from hazel or yew.

the last one i made shot an arrow, tipped with a hardwood i obtained from Peruvian jungle indians, straight through a solid plywood door. i had to cut the arrow off on each side as there was no chance of extracting it in one piece.

i think my best distance so far with a light plastic fibre arrow was around 120 yrds. This is only about half of the range of the medieval longbows.

rough estimates from a friend who knows was that my latest bow has a draw weight of about 90-100lbs. shoot it with your right arm for a week and your triceps look deformed...

not much to shoot at in england, so i settle on paper targets or trees.

have a good hunt!

go to a soccer game, and shoot the soccer ball when one of them trying for a goal.

bet you'd have plenty of targets then. I hear tell them english dudes are kinda apey over the girly game of soccer.

shush Gian.

(felt like butchering the language just fer them english fellers)

How you get by with that?

I think he's talking White tails..not split tails. Although I've often found that the runway that leads to the bathroom or the bar usually produces.
