I have the same bow in 35lb weight. Also have a English long bow in 45lb that I can hit a car door with at 2 yards
Toxo asked what length!
I forget to answer (and check) but think mine is 68". It's a buck trail.
It's quite smooth and at my draw (29") it doesn't stack.
The limbs are quite thick near the nocks and I often wonder if it would be a little faster if they were made with more tapering towards the nock.
Mine is #50@28". I bet a #35-#40 is sweet to shoot.
As for ELB it's not for me but have seen lads build them selves up to shooting #130 war bows with arrows as thick as stair rods at shoots! I had a go once. The bow and arrow stayed put and it was me that went flying!!
Pretty sure that bow knackered my bloody shoulder!

Excellent stuff. Bet you wish you had a cheap AFB now you seen my group!
That's a free style rig in field target I think.
That cut on contact looks awesome.
I was thinking of switching to mechanical as and when....
Which crossbow mate

Take a look at this photo.
You can see the hole the squirrel tried to escape in but Jess stopped it nearly fanging it. It ran to the next tree and back to the hole and back to the other tree as Jess was on its tail.
It was its third run at the hole that Jess lost it so I could blast it as it got home.
Talk about fast action!
It was a hard five hours hunting today with a first, my first partridge to a muzzleloader!
I walked two miles or more to get on some pheasants that have summered in a corner of a farm and woodland.
The first bird was straight forward. A small cock in the field.
Then I cut a path through bramble, nettles and hazels. During which a hen got up and I shot that! Boy that took some retrieving!!
Cutting away and struggling through the bramble several more birds lifted but I resisted. The greed set in and I shot another hen. That was a mistake!!
It came down in the thickest thorn ever and I am dutifully stung, pricked and ripped for retrieving the bird!!
I say mistake or was I being a true hunter and sports man?
I remember being anxious to find my birds what with Jess not being a retriever.
Huh, Jess is in the dog house! She pushed my button again on the way home by ignoring me again!
Chastisement 1
Chastisement 2 came at home later, when I noticed two lot of poop in the living room!
Sometimes she is the most mardy baby, arrogant annoying little bitch I have ever known. All the cooperation as a hunting team today thrown out the window by trying to fool me into thinking she can't hear me! I don't bloody think so sunshine, I will come after you unto death stops my!!
A night outside the circle of trust might do her good, spoilt bitch!

Years ago you use to be able to get primed WMR brass.
Using 25acp shell holder and I forget which bullet seating die one could reload WMR.

What length Nathan. I have a few knocking about. Toxo is short for toxophilite.
And of course you already know it's illegal to hunt live quarry with a bow.
Toxo, yes, I did wonder.
Yes, so many things are illegal.
So many natural things are illegal and yet some go to war illegally and kill millions, go figure!

Are you shooting through the wife’s best scatter cushions there, you will be in bother
It's underlay mate.
Mind you, many years ago I shot a home made broadhead through a poor target butt and it passed through the washing basket!
It shredded a shirt of mine and just missed her best dress at the time!!
That had me stressing for a while as I frantically emptied the basket!

Just picked my bow up with two years of dust on it and shot this group!
Ok it was after 20 arrows and relearning the cant on the bow. 11 yards.
Hmmm, may just need some tough arrows and errr different tips and it might be worth a nice walk with it

Because i was looking at a few options i took a entire bag home from a shoot on Saturday being a bit greedy i took 30 too many and couldn't freeze them there still hanging in the garage and will feed the ferrets for a couple of weeks , but with 200 ducks , pheasants and partridges ive got enough to try a few dishes or feed the ferrets well into the summer and sell what few rabbits we get this year . i cant believe the guns only took a brace each there where people arriving to get 2/3 brace at the end of the shoot , i really felt sorry for the poor keeper
Yeah, makes me laugh.
A line of guns killing any amount of driven birds but couldn't care less about what happens to them after the day but let me put a picture up of a rifled one, catties one or even arrowed for the pot and they all want to flogg me!
Hypocrites.
Caveats....not all shoots are the same.

Have you ever eaten Squirrel Underdog ? They are serving Squirrel burgers in a pub near me . They strip the meat off and mix them with fat pork and make a Pattie with them . They are quite nice . The landlord will have as many as I can get . I’ve got my tunnel traps going now and I’m killing quite a few .
Yes mate, they are good eating.
I keep forgetting to take a baggie with me so I can peel them warm.

Plump fat Squizzers there UD.
I know you're a fan of the .22WMR but what makes it better than the .17HMR ?
When the wind blows and deeper penetration.
No split necks.
There's nowt wrong with 17hmr, I only leg pull about it but honestly, if I want to shoot a bullet less than 25grn it either has to be by air or have a hell of a lot more powder behind it than hmr can offer. Think 17Rem. With the REM I have a chance at 100 yds in a gale and with air I have to be that close a gale won't bother it anyway.
The 120yd bird today was in some left to right wind. Hmr would of wanted quite a bit more there and I would of been guessing. I only had to consider drop which was nowt.
Just rather have some punch than 500fps more.

Nine's hours afield today and yes I am knackered!
Bit of a grey day but good to be out.
No foxs seen and very little if no sign.
I found a fox carcass on the boundary of a shoot which I thought was grand.
No fresh turds or prints.
Fat squirrels though, got some whoppers today.
Got a chance of a long shot on a pheasant, sadly a hen, I usually leave them but @120strides as it turned out to be I fancied a rested head shot!
Shot one went just a little high but shot two gave the hen a new ear hole!
Not bad for WMR.
Eight squirrels, one crow, one woodie and two pheasants.
I had my catties with me today and very nearly got a squirrel with them as well!
Boy my legs and back......

Nuts int it, some bunny hugger phones the rspca that some vermin is in peril.
Rspca collect vermin and give it expensive treatment.
When healed they relocate vermin.
That's the illegal bit!
Muppets.
Well done gaffa.

That's the trouble they're always changing the goal posts then no one knows where they are, they banned 2 stroke out boards a while ago because of pollution, trouble is then the 4 stroke are heavier use more juice and oil = creates more pollution. The folk in offices making these rules up should be wearing clown outfits honestly. I'm putting in for a pallet of kitty litter before they ban that too

Six tubs! That's a lifetime supply!
Keep your cases upside down and you can skip the torch thing.
I'm an engineer too. That's how I came up with a better method than a torch and I studied which powders are suitable in the first place
The squirrel was good!
