Any Archers here?

A sight for sore eyes!

 

I'm not into archery but my best friend and hunting partner is. You may have heard of him. His name is Rodger Willett. He was the World Champion in 2011. The guy is simply amazing with a bow. He hunts EVERYTHING with a bow, from brown bear and elk to quail.

 

I'm a New Yorker. Here we hunt bargains, but I could never hunt them with my bow.

 

Every time I see this thread name, I think of my grandfather on my mother's side, P.D. Archer. So, my mother was an Archer, too. Then she met my dad, and it all changed.

 

So I guess that makes you an archer (of a sort) too.

 

Finally got my fancy new arrows. Will have to re fletch them but still in great shape.

 

I shoot a little. I shoot a pse stalker recurve bow. On the limb it says 60/40. What does that mean?

 

Nice arrows, Basil! And 60/40 means 60" long with a 40 pound draw weight.

 

Thanks!

 

Glad to help. BTW, do you shoot indoors or outdoors?

 

Outdoors. I own five acres

 

I was gonna say most marking mean weight for a given draw length. But 40 would be a pretty crazy draw length.

5 acres? Are we having an archery party at your place?

 

If you can make it to Arkansas! But I'm really a bad shot after not shooting for almost 13 years

 

Good! Then I might have a chance to finally outshoot someone! Party at Aelfred's

 

Lol as long as your friendly to my rat and pups then heck yeah! We can grill and make a day if it

 

Sounds like fun. What a shame I live in New York.

 

I agree...vacation!!

 

This Archer seems to be having a bit of a problem. Maybe too heavy of a draw?

 

Definitely.

 

We started up a club tournament tonight. It will be a total-point event for 4 weeks. We will shoot in 2-person teams. Tonight we were scored to determine our handicaps. (I figure that my partner's handicap is me.) I shot a 223, which is less than I had hoped, but more than my last tournament.
