Kijiji > Bear takedown recurve

[SHTF2010]

happy happy joy joy

saw this on Kijiji thursday for $40
i was laying awake thursday night hoping no one else would notice this
when i got to the guys house, i took off the string, pulled out the arms and said, " i'll take it "
didn't even think about haggling about the $40

gonna try and make my own arrows ( copper tubing for arrowheads ? )
went to Canadian Tire to pick up some duct tape, for fletching
and i may get a 5 ft length of PVC to try as a PVC bow


going back at 9 am, this guy is having a garage/yard sale this morning
i looked in his garage and he has 30+ years of garage sale gold

WOW! that looks like a great deal!! i'd be curious to know how well such a rig shoots...

I like everything about Kijiji except for it's Africanised name.

Good deal and well done. Tell us how your new toy shoots with your home-made arrows.

Cool. Good find.

What's the length and weight of pull?

Sweet find, CG

What's the length and weight of pull?


i have no idea
the info was on a sticker on one of the limbs but i scraped it off when i camo-ed the limbs
i pull the string/arrow back and let go, then open my eyes to see if i hit anything

the DIY arrows i made ( from doweling ) would do in a pinch for short range survival
right now i have aluminum shafts with target tips

thinking about broadheads

[Awoke]

I would like to have one of those. I am deadly with a bow. I practice on apples at 60 feet.

Every time this thread gets a new post and it pops back into rotation I forget the content and think that is going to be some technical analysis with some charts done by someone bearish on PMs.
;D

[Awoke]

Haha! Well I guess SHTF2010 will have to shoot silver arrows, to fend off the bloodsuckers!

I re-read your post and didn't think the copper arrow heads would be best esp with arrows (& access.) being so cheap. Look for expanding broadheads.
