I just visited the only bow shop in the UK with a strong bow hunting vibe,great place,the owner is restringing my bow when my GAS string arrives from the states,he was saying he is probably closing the shop and going over to online sales as business isn’t so good,we chatted about the bloke who shot the copper with a Crossbow this week and how it’s probably a nail in the coffin for legit toxophilites.
