I'd go with the bow,not the compound but the recurve....am going to have a go with bow's in the new year.

I really recommend you do a cheap Archery intro course first if your not familiar with archery, quite a few of us have done em including myself, spandex and few others its amazing what you learn and how quick your kit requirements change.

I'm already covered....my shooting club has an archery section and a piece of woodland for a range....looking forward to it!.....Saturday's(not gonna see much of her indoors , tue/fri shooting and sat archery)

What is the main reason for the purchase:

- Hunting (now or after SHTF)
- Recreational
- Defence (after SHTF)

[Straight Shooter]

I have all three , the bow is a re curve ,its easy to put together and faster to reload 35 pound draw , the crossbow easy to put together skeleton stock made from resin light weight 50 pound draw 16 inc bolt ....slow to load...by hand ...i take the view one shot longer range , the air rifle .22 tele,s silencer CO2 for wabbits and small game , all of which are lower cost items TBH....... but do it for me. I am no expert in any of these items but they ALL kill.

[NorthernRaider]

Barney what you meant to say was

I think you should get someone else to buy lots of flowers using their money to buy lots of flowers
