Target archer i assume?Oooh, An archery sub-topic
Currently shooting a Prime One, Used to do a whole lot of shooting @ The Italian Club in CPT.
Pity I cant find a nice indoor club near me in PTA now
Prefer to Shoot 18 Meter indoor.

Nice, I really wish I had access to that type of Space. Currently Blank Bailing in my garage, 6 Meters FTW !
Hope the shoulder comes right,
I buggered mine about a year ago and couldn't even get through 30 Arrows without shriveling up in pain
Lmao
I'm actually quite interested in getting into target archery but it's so damn expensive. Well not that hunting compounds are very cheap either
Thanks man. I just got back into shooting my bows regularly a couple of months back after about a year and this happens. Can't wait to pick up my bow again yet I'm dreading that pain
and for the First Week, Put some KT Strapping on your shoulder. It helps with the muscle recovery.
Yeah that's my only option tbh. They know best so might as well do as they sayAgreed, I shudder to think what my bow would set me back now
Best advice I have for sorting a shoulder out, Listen to the Physio
And Traumeel Gel - wonderful stuff!
Woohoo an archery thread! @BumbleBee if they are traditional wooden bows and you're within spitting distance of the east rand I can help with strings. I actually make the trad bows. Used to shoot compound but got bored with that and wanted a challangeWow, it's been ages since I drew a bow, probably 15 years. I have a few recurves packed away somewhere, been itching to have them restrung but don't have a place to shoot safely
They're not traditional @CaveTroll, they're Samick Recurve bows, wooden risers with fibreglass limbs. I don't recall the draw weight on them but managed over 300fps with aluminium arrows.
Oddly some of the fiberglass based recurves count as traditional. Bot of an odd one that but there you go.They're not traditional @CaveTroll, they're Samick Recurve bows, wooden risers with fibreglass limbs. I don't recall the draw weight on them but managed over 300fps with aluminium arrows.
Thanks for the offer but I'm a bit more than a spit away from you
I'd love to see those bows of yours though, how about posting a few pics?
Oh my those are amazing!Oddly some of the fiberglass based recurves count as traditional. Bot of an odd one that but there you go.
With pleasure squire. My signature bow is the Holmegaard, an ancient viking design that's absolutely brilliant.

Heh heh thank you squire. Well if you're ever this side gimme a shoutOh my those are amazing!
My fingers are itching again, and that Viking bow is speaking to me, there's a bit of family history there
Absolutely! There's always Vapecon, maybe we can convince @Silver to let you set up an outdoor range for us
I do.events like medieval fairs and geekfest. For the last five years actually so if he's keen heh hehAbsolutely! There's always Vapecon, maybe we can convince @Silver to let you set up an outdoor range for us
I'd be happy to set one up if @Silver likes the idea and there's a safe enough spot to set up
Hmmmm sounds doable if someone is insane enough to try it with me
Unfortunately we'd end up with a good few dead vapers
Nah, only mildly wounded :-!Unfortunately we'd end up with a good few dead vapers

Idk about your bows but i know mine aren't so mild once that arrow gets momentum
Now we're talking.
I made myself a 160 pound English warbow last year actually. Took a few shots with it before my back surgery and its sitting there now as motivation to get stronger again. Thanks indeed mate!
