my dads compound bow (a big toy) is probably just as powerfull as a cross bow.
There are people who have shot arrows over a mile , but they are so powerfull that the people lie on there backs with the bow taped to there feet and pull 2 handed and the arrows are realy thin with razorblades for fletchings.
unfortunatly you arent allowed a bow over 60lbs for coms.
well i havnt been for over a year because last year my dad (who takes me and allso does archery) dislocated his sholder twice in the same week.
so he hasnt been able to pull his 60 lb bow (he has a compound therefore is cheating) so he didnt take me. he still cant pull it so he needs to lower the tension on it to aboput 40 lb.
Hopefully i will be good enough to shoot on stilts again soon.
i used to be able to hit that piece of bamboo with 6 arrows one after the other.
But i gess that the old saying 'if yuo dont use it you loose it' is ture.
i just need to put up some lost posters on all the lamp posts so i can find it again.
