Finland exam shooting,,
Hawkdancer:
I think a lot of both. 18 meters is 20 yards(actually 59.4 ft). Bad news, there is a city ordnance against shooting bows and guns in the city limits - good news, we are only 2 miles or so from the archery/atlatl range (SH) (AT) :NN. Got to check some measurement from the garage door to the shed. What can't be seen or heard, can' be reported, sure can be fun, though >:D!

Well, I won't be hunting in Finland, that's for sure. I think it's a good test though.

just for fun i tried this using a bamboo backed hickory longbow i made. 64# @ 30". i could get all 3 into the circle back to 26 yards. after that i was a little more sporadic....id get 2 then 3 or 1 then 2. After that, it was not pretty. This is well outside my hunting range for a stickbow, of 20 yards. Now, with the Bob Lee longbow i could get all 3 in out to nearly 40 yards. There is a lot to be said for a laminated bow!
bradsmith2010:
there are guys that shoot a well made wood bow as well as the laminated bows,, so there is alot to be said for that,,
look at the scores of the field archers before fiberglass,,,, you may shoot the bob lee better ,,,,,, all wood bows are not made equal,, and if there is something to be said bout fiberglass bows that would be on another forum,, :)
Wvfarrier:
not really. i was making an observation about my experience. i prefer my handmade bows but that doesnt tske away from the fact that a laminated bow will have more range.
