there is a football field outside.. if we putt up something that would catch arrows??
Fighting with the sword is not for the weak of heart.

I try to get hold of a net for arrowstopping. But if we try to shoot far a footballfield is too short! But we could do targetshooting at a 100 paces maybe! Fun anyway! Thanx Magnus!
And Ege is comming so we dont need any other target....:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Yeah I wonder about finding places to shoot. There's a massive park around where I live, I wonder if I could get away shooting at like 6/7am or so...

Shooting on public land is very unwise and likely to get you arrested.
Shoot on safe private land with the owner's permission.

Yeah I thought that would be the case, even early morning. I guess I can visit my grandfather a bit more since he has all that set up.

Ah well. I really should get more into archery.

Archery has it easy. Try finding a piece of land to shoot firearms without a neighbour complaining.

In all my twenty something years of life, I don't think I've ever seen a firearm....

Lovely bows i have started making some myself recently too and have a similar draw length. Luckily the local school allows me shoot in their field on weekends though people are still stupid enough to try play football on it when they see me shooting :x
Sadly over the past year with college i have not been able to shoot nearly as much as i want.
I remeber being at a show where they were allowing kids shoot blunts at a knight but being in 13th c stuff he had no breastplate etc ten minutes in he came back with a buckler to cover his valuables :lol:

Really :shock: that is amazing to me. In my forty some odd years I can not remember ever not being around firearms.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. ukn
