Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Are there any archers here?
Are there any archers here?
Blew what was left of my tax return at the bow shop yesterday. Now the proud owner of a compound bow. I used to shoot an old recurve after school almost every day back when I was a kid. This is a whole new ballgame! Soon as I figure out a place to shoot safely the adventure will begin. Are there any bow shooters here?

I can remember saying I'd never own a GLOCK,never own an AR15 and never get married. I found out that never is a long,long time!

Re: Are there any archers here?
I have a compound bow that I bought from an acquaintance. It's a Browning Summit II. I have shot it once. I'd like to get better acquainted with it, but there's no time. If we have the interest, a bow section can be made.

I used to shoot traditional, some years back, but it's been awhile, now. Not sure how much bow I can handle, physically, anymore. I do think about it, though. I'm like Dave, though. Can't handle all the hobbies and interest we have, now.

I used to go archery hunting every season while I had my deer lease. Had to give it up in 2007 because the timbre company sold the land. I haven't found another that I can afford.

Re: Are there any archers here?
shoulder surgery ended my archery about 50 years ago .... I do have a really nice crossbow but haven't fired it in a good while

Diamond Infinite Edge Pro- just something basic I could play with in the backyard. Doubtful that it will ever see the woods. Wanted to get back into archery after a 45+ year absence.

Re: Are there any archers here?
I have owned a couple of Diamond bows. What I like about them is the amount of adjustment in poundage pull and draw length. After heart and hernia surgery I had to set mine down to 45 lbs. In that particular bow it will still take down a whitetail even at 45 lbs. Great bow for the money.Abnermal wrote:Diamond Infinite Edge Pro- just something basic I could play with in the backyard.
