Jayceesfolly Posted February 24, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2013 Tom: I was at Fox Farm Antiques last week and he had two longbows for sale. You might want to call him and see if he still has them. They are located just west of Avon NY, where rts 5 & 20 split (Telegraph Rd). Here is his website ......http://www.foxfarmantiques.com Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacheedah Posted February 24, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 24, 2013 Find those cheap at garage sales or on craigslist. I would always put a new string on her. . . My folks sold several I had at a garage sale ( I left them there when I was in service and bought new compounds since ) and my Dad told me some guy offered them like 5.00 for them. . .

Yeah right ... Glad to see your planning ahead. I guess that ammo really is getting scarce.... Go with a good cross bow and quailty scope... and stock up on bolts that don't have flourescent quills before theres a run on em! http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/pse-tac-15-15i-10-10i-crossbow-review-1.php Edited February 24, 2013 by CaptainJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dacheedah Posted February 24, 2013 Share #9 Posted February 24, 2013 Instinctive shooting puts men up against nature at a whole different level. Adrenaline rush like nothing else. . . Kudo's for getting new shooters involved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJoe Posted February 24, 2013 Share #10 Posted February 24, 2013 I've got a compond, it's a Bowtec Extreeme VFT, 70# pull with mechanical tips, it's good for about 40-50 yrds.... Have shot many a deer with it and agree it is unquestonably a lot harder to shoot game with it, than with a rifle. You not only have to raise the bow, but also pull it back, all the while not beeing seen. definately kicks the adrenelin in... If your hitting a soda can everytime at 80 yrds. your definately a better archer than I... and your The Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your hitting a soda can everytime at 80 yrds. your definately a better archer than I... and your The Man! anyone can do it........spend about 3 grand for a competition bow, micrometer adjustable sights, a 6 power scope, forward and reverse stabilizers, buy very good arrows and make sure every arrow weighs the same. and practice,practice practice...... I also use a reverse mechanical rope release.......there you go....easy...NY field archery shoots 30 arrows from 10 feet to 80 yards..........the 10 ft. shots are the hardest...............:fatsmiley:ps...with primative archery....load and fire...much more fun..I kill a lot of trees with my recurves...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted February 24, 2013 Share #12 Posted February 24, 2013 You ante just whistling Dixie there. I use to shoot tournament archery in the mid 80's. Every time I went to our club to practice I would shoot against four State champions that belong to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your shooting in tournaments......it becomes an obsession to be THE BEST.....All the fun is taken away...when I was shooting indoors... I had a 299 (19x) average out of 300.. I beat myself up for years over that 1 point................now I kill trees shooting 3d in the woods while I walk with taters and laugh at how many rocks she kills...I make our arrows...it relaxes me...taters thinks they are pretty and hates to shoot them..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted February 25, 2013 Share #14 Posted February 25, 2013 When we were shooting 3D we use to step off course and pick a trick shot. Then all in the group tried to follow. A lot of arrows got broke doing that. When we shot indoors we played SLAM! One would shoot and everybody on the line would try to hit his knock.
