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.

Every time I go to Court, I notice a Police Officer with gun on hip standing next to the Judge.

what does that have to do with anything, are you saying thats why you feel the need to be armed 24/7? if so wow, i hate to think what you would do if you ever saw anything scary happening.

Well, for one thing, I doubt the 2 million people in US jails would go there if you just said pretty please. Hopefully the psychos with guns are in jail now. My relatives in the country all have guns. Cars are much more deadly than guns, but I still drive one.

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.

The pull on that thing was like trying to pull a mac truck! but it was nice,
at 55 yards away i was getting dead center strikes, it was a bow i had ordered from bass pro shop a few years ago and it was ashamed to see it go!...

I took archery as a kid. Even though I sucked, it was still fun.
