A lot of energy in those limbs. I'll leave mine to be restringed by a professional! Ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Banned in 1965, I think because it was seen as a poachers tool. Banned for cruelty in the sixties. Wrapped up in the 81 Wildlife and Countryside Act. I saw some horrible footage from the 70's that was used to cement the ban. I used to agree that it was pretty cruel until I saw some dedicated archers hunt whitetail and elk, this side of the Atlantic. They make a lot of the rifle lads look sh*t. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can hit a pop bottle 8/10 times at 25 yards .if I was to go bow hunting I’d go for deer and keep my shots to around 25 to 30 yards .some of the Robin Hood wannabe would try go for a 200 yard shot im all for bow hunting I’d like to bow hunt deer and wild boar and also rabbit .

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think a reversal of a ban in the uk would be carnage quite simply put , we don’t have the culture for bowhunting that the states and other places have Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe... Personally I think that as they are already legal to own, by simply legalising hunting with them you're not going to be putting any more of these tools in the hands of plebs. There's nothing stopping that now. I reckon those that have the legal permission and skill to hunt with a bow would naturally be more responsible. What culture do you think we (hunters) would need that we don't already have? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greg64 2,560 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I agree with you born ,even in countrys where its legal its not a free for all and is highly regulated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I wouldn’t necessary agree with that born Yes, we do have bows in this country. Used primarily by fun archers, sportsmen and chavvy teens to impress their mates with one or twice. When I was a kid of 10 or 11I saw a lad leather a fox with one and the effect was pretty much what you’d imagine ! Luckily my lurcher was there to end it quickly But we don’t have is a skill set or the knowledge that can be passed down . What would happen would be four clowns in real tree trackies leaving arrows in the rump of every fallow theyvdrive past in thetford whilst the idea of it would appeal to those responsible enough to use them , the bow , in this country , would replace the air rifle As the number one idiot magnet in my eyes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
