When you can do it at 40 meters with traditional tackle, come talk to me. I've only done it once. But I have lots of witnesses.
Ah, the traditional archery debate. For those that don't know, that's the cast Vs forged debate of archery.
Pics >>> witnesses.
So bring out the pics.
for those that are not in the know, traditonal tackle means recurve or stick bow, wooden arrows, real feather fletching.
If you look closely at the arrows, 2 of the 4 *are* real feather fletchings, that's all I've ever used (16 years) up until this last time I refletched my arrows. Now I go with vanes for my practice arrows since they are more durable. I still keep feathers on my hunting arrows though as they do fly a little truer.
I also shoot recurves, not as often though. And have shot off tons of nocks with them too. After Dad and I get a few deer with our compounds we might try with our recurves someday.
I use a hand carved Osage Orange stick bow at 61 lbs at 32"
Cool. My compound is currently set at 63 pounds @ 29 inches. It's maxed out poundage wise for now, I could get more by swapping out the cams and replacing them with different ones, as I already swapped to the longest string available for my current cams. But 63 pounds slings them plenty good for hunting (minimum in MN is 30 pounds lowered from 40 so more women and kids can hunt). And shoot recurves of 56 and 45 pounds.
