How many hunt using a compound bow

Farking auto correct.. Lol

Just had a chat to a local. Turns out he's the local archery club secretary...

But keen hunter.

So he's gunna have a look at my freebie and see if I need a string, and have a chat at what I should get accessories wise.

I like the 3 point peeps, so that's a given I think, now it's just sort the nock point, rest and sight.
And arrows. Gunna needs lots of arrows... Lol

The string may just need a good waxing

It's mainly to get your technique consistent so unless you plan to get bow crazy and shoot all the time I'd go the larger as the smaller ones can tend to make it harder to see in low light conditions its a 10 min job to serve it in if you want to change anyway.

Maybe 20 mins to include carefully removing the old one

Well imglad I caught up with this local bloke. He has everything I need and very helpful.
He's said I got a bargain, recommends some quality second hand components, and I'll be a happy hunter..

So... Now the fun bit... Hunting for accessories

You would assume any bow that was free would be a bargain!

**BigRAWesty** · 30th May 2014, 07:28 AM

Well yea.
But he has all the tools so I'm looking for a sight..
I'll probably go a whisker biscuit, but I'll save up for a quality second hand sight.
Stay tuned

Well I'm stunned at the generosity of the ABH forum.
I stuck up a post in the free to good home thread and so far I've been offered

A Fuse Profire 5 sight
A apex release aid and 6" stabiliser..

Shocked but stocked..
