Born Hunter 17,622 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 f**k yes it should be legal! Banned in 1965, I think because it was seen as a poachers tool. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 thanks born hunter. was looking at barnett vortex hunter compound bow for sale today. was thinking whats the point in buying if it cant be used. sure if it was down to poaching shouldnt have the dogs and guns be banned also. i definitely agree it should be legal again. atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not used it much since as I've been busy with the shooting season. They're very enjoyable just target shooting, much more so than a rifle imo but maybe that's just novelty. I was quite surprised at the precision of it... my first ever 40 yard group (pulled one). 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,622 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Maybe if one day the stars align for me or some shit I'd like to go self guided to New Zealand. Also seen aussie Adam Greentree self guided backcountry elk in Colarado and Montana so maybe thats an option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a target bow really being 40" cam to cam but id hunt with it given the opportunity in the future, it's accurate and powerful enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
