It's heartening to see a few archers on this site, and i'd like to know what your all shooting. Here's the bow i've been shooting for about 15 years now

:'(
Both my bows were given away to a Church Activity Centre by my parents when I was at uni
:'(


I'm hoping to get a compound bow though. Not sure what to go for though. Working on a shoelace budget for the next few months :'(

If you can Scythe I would buy a one piece recurve, too much to go wrong with a compound, you need bow press to change strings etc. With a normal bow it only takes seconds and can be done in field

That's a good point.

Might end up getting a crossbow instead then.

Handy little crossbows those Armex, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of people out there think they are toys!
stringed weapons are very under estimated

I want the same bow as Daryl has on the Walking Dead but its £600 quid, so I'll get something cheap but still around 150 ft pound in draw to suppliment the 100lb bow and the two 80lb bows I've got for family.

I hear NR a good crossbow aint cheap. If needs be mate, bite the bullett and save up, you won't regret buying quality. I would recommend Excalibur Crossbows, they are the best field bows you can buy. I've used the Phoenix for a while and they are amazing!!, machined trigger assembly-very good pull and smooth- 175lb recurve limbs, with good optics they are devastating. Post SHTF it's all you'll ever need mate.

What I actually need to meet my own specific prep requirements is a good quiality basic bow tween 120 and 150 ft lb that you can buy at the point of sale complete spare prods, knock end cap and strings. My old trident was great until the prod snapped and i could not get a spare. So as a survivalist I need to be able to get all the bits likely to break bought in advance

I like the folding Recon bow bow with sliding stock but they dont list spare prods so thats out.
