Is anyone here into archery?

[squeezyjohn]

Absolutely - here in the UK I have to keep a bow and arrow beside my bed to defend my home against intruders. And in fact I believe it is my right to use it to defend myself against the state also - like if they try to make me pay too much tax for my liking or stuff like that.

Some people think bows and arrows should be banned here in the UK - but that's like against my human rights and if they say that to me then I just shout at them non-stop with my hands over my ears until they go away. I mean the French are only 26 miles away from us - they could attack at any time!

Where is the range at? I might have to check it out.

it's in Pacifica. http://sfarchers.org/

There is also a free range of some sort in Golden Gate Park but I haven't been to it.

Thanks for the link. I will take a look. I also heard there is a range at Lake Sonoma but it sounds a bit funky. Sometimes we camp near Lake Pillsbury and that would be an awesome spot. You can camp anywhere there and shoot guns. I don't think a bow would even be an issue.

I'll have to check that place out

I use to be into archery for fun/target shooting. I moved onto guns...they're more fun and go bang! I do look forward to getting my son into all the shooting sports though. I'll start him with a bow like I did.

I recall the days when I was a lad with my first .22. A 1906 Winchester pump action. Someone had carved J.R. In the stock. My dad was a pulpwood logger and used to let me wonder around the Appalachee Forest where he was working a logging contract.

Great times with Dad.

Man that does sound fun...............I have two sons............a little too young to wander unsupervised with a loaded weapon at this point................my luck...............they'd shoot my ass out of a tree.........(that is……… were I a pulp logger.......or............ just randomly hanging out in a tree).........

Anyway……..great story

I was too young to chew tobacco, but that kind of thing never concered my dad! Lol

I did end up getting a Samick Sage from our local shop. The price was right and it is one hell of a bow. It is 45# at a 28" draw. It is slightly hard to use but I think I can work into with a little practice. At the shop I also saw this incredible horse bow. It is one piece, small and very light. The thing also packed a punch for such a tiny bow at 45#. I tried it and found it a bit difficult to control due to its small size. I think a bit of practice could take care of that. It was a bit out of my price range at $270 but I wouldn't mind picking one up down the road.

I'm into archery... I do Kyudo, Japanese archery.

If slingshots count as archery, i'm a slingshot enthusiast as well.
