However on my permissions they are a lot of footpaths with general public , so when practising at targets I'd rather look like robin hood than Rambo 3. 

I never see anyone where I go Leo,plus a 28 inch A2A triax is unobtrusive and slides into a bag,I think from memory Rambo had a Hoyt with a 40+ A2A? That’s a whole different ball of wax.

Nope,but when in the UK I live in Surrey,it’s the UK’s most forested county,I think 24?% is covered in trees?Its in no way comparable to here (of course) but it’s not difficult to be discrete when out and about.

More open were I am on my permissions.  I also I  think if I was to go abroad and legally hunt,  then take quarry with a primitive recurve shooting of the shelf no sights. Is the ultimate test , to get within 15 yards of your intended quarry . Then to draw and hold that weight until a shot presented it's self is very hard work and every kill very hard worked for and I would imagine very rewarding.

Strange you mention those,I watched a few reviews on them earlier,there’s a company that fits custom strings on them and checks the true draw weight as they are sometimes out,the bows look interesting.

iv'e seen the same said about the black hunter can come in at 5 to 10lb over
