I recently purchased an inexpensive longbow on the site; a dry ridge 40# @ 29". My draw length is 28" and the bow measures at about 37.5# at that draw.
I took it out today for the first time - I don't even have proper arrows - but used some aluminum 2315 with 125gr points and 4" feathers which flew okay.
It was fun! I took it out the the FITA field and shot it at 30m, 50m and 70m
What a hoot; quiet like nothing else I ever shot. 30m was no problem. 50m took some getting used to but I was consistently hitting pretty quickly. 70m (about 77 yards)- now that was a challenge. I was aiming up into the sky and while I hit the target butt a few times, no score
No pictures, sorry. I just had such a good time I had to tell someone!
