Good luck!


On a different note, do you bowhunt?

[Rachel]

Yes I bowhunt though I havent in a long time. Tried to get my equipment back in shape but it was too late in the season this year. Had to get a new bowquiver the arrow holders had dried up and crumbled away. I used to shoot in target and bowhunter leagues. This was the first year that crossbows were legal in new jersey. I actually got to shoot one at a sportshop. I want one! lol On another note Had my younger son out today for the opener of 6 day firearm buck season. This was his 4 th trip out and finally we some some deer. saw 5 Unfortunately I inadvertantly spooked away a 6 pointer on him Felt really bad. Told him ahhhh well you'll never forget this day and will be cursing me still 30 years from now lol. Like losing a big fish it was the first of many deer you will see but not get son. He took it like a trooper though.

I had a bow and arrow set but i sold the whole set for $50 had a 80 lb pull to it. why i sold it because i moved into a smaller apartment i use to do
bow target pratice also.
cross bows are illegal in the state of Ma. not sure why tho
i think bow and arrows are just as deadly as cross bows.

i feel sorry for anyone who feels the need to carry a concealed weapon or even to have one at home. you must all be living in fear. what happened that made you think shit i need a gun with me at all times, you must live in a real shit hole area.

Oh hell yeah! Bows with at least 55 lbs. of pull and the right arrowheads can do a shitload of damamge! I remember reading somewhere that Welsh longbows had like 70+ lbs. of pull to them; some of them having 100+ lbs. of pull to them!

Remains of longbowmen found lots of deformities in them because the amount of pull overstressed their bodies, most notably, their shoulders, wrists and elbows.
