A riders bow! Your opinion?

[Virilis]

I wondered because my fiance ordered a Hungarian and it took over 3 months, just wondered if that was normal for Grozer.Seemed like he waited forever!

110 pound bow ? That's impressive.

I'm hoping to take up 'serious' archery in the future and get plenty of practice, that'll be fun, at present I couldn't hit a neon painted elephant from 2 feet away

Hi Memmia! The reason must be the summer season for the long time it did take the bow to arrive your fiance? If they have the bow in stock it will usually take two weeks to arrive.

Yes, I got my 110 pounder "Bear" two weeks ago. My god, the arrow flies like a bullet with it! The only downside with it that you should shoot with it with a strange hybrid-like technique between a medieval longbow and a an eastern recurve. You kind of push your ass back and draw the arrow behind your ear and that way the aiming is very different than with lighter bows. It certainly requires some adaptation and is more fun to shoot with a high trajectory some "masses" from far away (150 metres?) :wink: ! So I usually do some target shooting with lighter bows and at last I will do some "heroic" :wink: shots with that heavy bow. I`ll do some push-ups for warming before I shoot that heavy bow and especially some push-ups with my left arm to make it ready for the high pressure. The left shoulder surprisingly is more vulnerable when shooting with the heavy bows...

Believe me, it is GREAT FUN to shoot with those recurve bows hock: ! I can still remember all the mistakes I made when I started to shoot! Don´t hesitate if you have something to ask, it would be a sin to repeat all the mistakes I made at first :wink: ...
