Nouth 496 July 9, 2012 Share July 9, 2012 (edited) So, anyone of you into archery? I've been training since I was 8 years old (I just realized that I'm doing archery for half of my life now O.o) I use a 30lb longbow. EDIT: Sorry not to mention it more clearly, I'm talking about real life archery.

One 498 July 9, 2012 Share July 9, 2012 I find it fun, but dont get to do it much. Using a bow is cool for hunting I guess but Skyrim I get to use a bow and kill things other than deer so maybe if they had dragons irl then I would start doing more archery. So summary: Skyrim is fun, and archery is good This is a signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel 143 July 9, 2012 Share July 9, 2012 I've had my own bow for two years now. I use a PSE Rally compound bow. I have it set a 45 lb draw weight right now. But it can go up 70 lbs. I don't get to shoot much unfortunately. I live in a big enough city I can't just go to my back yard and shoot and it's small enough that there's no Archery range unless I want to drive for an hour to get there and an hour back.

LowfatEnvelope 335 July 9, 2012 Share July 9, 2012 I'd like to get into it more as it has always greatly interested me. Right now I basically just shoot at balloons to try and improve my aim with a recurve bow (its only like 20lbs though ). After I improve some I may get a better bow. 1 ~L.F.E.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you go into a club or something ? It makes it a lot more interesting I go to a traditional archery club, we only use wooden bows,and focus on rapid fire archery (some of us (me included ) are capable of firing an arrow every 1.3 second), and generally shorten ranges (we do shoot at 60 meters occasionally, but mostly, we train at about 25 - 30 meters.). And also, there are moving targets, we call them running wheels, they are tricky bastards and really hard to hit, we launch them from a ramp 1 meter above ground, and they run across 3 meters wide range where we can hit them. We are 10 meters from the target range, and the wheel is like 20 cm in diameter. Me! I love archery! /) Feel like sharing something more detailed ? 1 Splendid siggy by Chaotic Dischord, awesome avatar by Suntouched Coco!Ask me anything you want !

KakeiTheWolf 652 July 9, 2012 Share July 9, 2012 /) Feel like sharing something more detailed ? I don't get the chance often, but since I am a weakling, I never go above a 50 pound pull bow. I don't really have the most accurate groupings (Shots within an inch of each other 20 yards out), but I do decent distance, averaging 750 foot shots. Once, I fired an arrow around 700 feet, and was within a quarter inch of hitting a clay pigeon on the ground. My Music: http://kakeithewolf.bandcamp.com/.

We are 10 meters from the target range, and the wheel is like 20 cm in diameter. So an arrow every second? NICE! I'd need a back quiver to get anywhere close that. Of course I prefer to practice accuracy instead of speed. Plus, nocking, drawing and aiming a 45lb compound is harder to do as fast than a 20lb recurve. I'm not a big fan of traditional wood bows. I prefer compounds, they're more modern, smaller while still delivering high draw weights, and are generally better for hunting. (Which I plan to do. Eventually.) And moving Targets? Man I would love to have a moving target. First I need my own archery range though. Edited July 9, 2012 by Archangel "Judge not, and you shall not be judged.

JhonHipster 124 July 10, 2012 Share July 10, 2012 (edited) When I was younger (8 or so) I used to run around the woods making bows from sticks and using bailers twine as string and shoot trees rocks and other stuff. That about as far as I got in archery. However with deer populations in non-rifle areas sky rocketing and shoot guns requiring to be 1000 meters from houses I guess I may take up using a crossbow.

Pinkie D Pie 1,036 July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 I've done a little archery, but only started this year thanks to an archery class in school. But that was the only time I got to do because I don't own a bow yet. My OC's Shadow Stalker/Aarod Brachuin/Dark Chocolate/Cocoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derpy Dash 233 July 12, 2012 Share July 12, 2012 I bought myself a simple recurve bow a couple years ago, and enjoy shooting at targets. I also enjoy shooting guns, it helps me release anger. (which I seem to have a lot of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406 July 12, 2012 Share July 12, 2012 I think I shot a bow once. Not that fun, though. Plus, I don't need to hunt for food. That's what restaurants are for.
