Accurately aim?

I only have a modest amount of time with my compounds and I love em, primarily cos there is NO maintenence of any note to do, they dont even need unstringing when not in use, I think that as an instantly available EDC bow for home security or bagging that buck in your back garden they superb. Instant availability, insanely compact and portable, wickedly fast to use, and so simple to learn they are great and I highly reccomend them for EDC use, they can live for years behind the back door completely ignored until needed and that is something normally only rifle and shotgungun owners can enjoy. BUT........ As you correctly point out and as we have discussed before they are far more complicated than a bent stick strung with dental floss and that cannot be ignored. They require very little maintenance but when they do need it normally it means a trip to the archery shop. And considering there is only about 10 stores in the whole UK that can be expensive, time consuming and dangerous if TSHTF whilst its out of service. I fully accept and understand that point that is why I am currently looking for a decent BACK UP BOW, I'm thinking along the lines of a 36 pound draw, 3 piece take down recurve hunting bow, spare limbs, spares strings etc that can be used when instant availability is not required. Both bows could use the same arrows both bows would fit in my rucksack, I eould have the simple reliability of a basic bow from preplanned hunting or patroling, but have the compound as for all intensive purposes as my EDC side arm ready for instant use morning noon or night, No "wheres the bow, wheres the string, where the stringer oh bollocks the deer has gone" to worry about. Compounds I feel are far easier to master than traditional bows, but Recurves and Long bows have that eternal simplicity that appeals to many ( and almost no expensive maintenance bills)

I 100% agree with those who choose the simple bare backed bow route but I think, nay feel that perhaps you are missing out on a very beneficial piece of kit that could realistically ENHANCE your archery. I think ARCHERS will go for one of either types compound or traditional, but I feel that PREPPERS should take the opportunity of benefitting from BOTH because both enhance an improve our lives and preps. Security wise I can step out of bed, pick up my compound, nock an arrow and fire in a few seconds, that is something most INEXPERIENCED longbow archers can dream of, And I prefer manouvering around the instead of a house with a bow only 3 ft 4 long instead of 6 ft long

TH if you were in this area I would be delighted to lend you one of the Banshees for you to experiment with for a few weeks

I actually have a KAP PRO 30 pound TDB as well as the Banshee quads but its 68 inches long, I want a TDB of no more than 58 or 60 inches and 35 pound draw.
