Agree completely.

Where are all these FC workers who keep springing out from behind trees to hassle people? I don't remember seeing one in the FC woods I had been in for years except for those engaged in actual...

Apparently the Coastguard will monitor ch 16 by a loudspeaker in the control room but a specific headphone watch may be kept as circumstance dictate. What will happen with the closure and reduction...

I hear Yachtsmen regularly asking the Falmouth Coastguard for a radio check on channel 16 as do freighters asking for berthing information. Of course they are asked to switch to another channel when...

Why would they use channel 17? Round here in Cornwall and elsewhere as far as I know channel 16 is the one that people keep a listening watch on. Not sure if the policy change that would have the...

There is a real problem with the ease of modern communications in that just because you can report in regularly then you are expected to and it is the failure of communication one way or the other...

For a cheap quick bow have you looked at PVC bows. Lot of you tube videos on how to make one and they appear to shoot.

Duplicating equipment doesn't seem practical and if one is lost or ceases to work then you are back to one again, three or more of everything? Being careful and being aware of your location seem more...

Sensible suggestion

Many times on this board people have have mentioned problems arising from the perceptions of others whether it be carrying knives or wild camping. Sometimes these misapprehensions mean a police...

And the answer is so what? Not the fault of the innocent if an action is taken by a third party. Around here the Coastguard call it a "false alarm with good intent" Your "point" is nonsense if you...

And the police could and did take no action or did they? Where are the court reports, the arraingments, the trial, the sentences? Unlike the shed burglars on the allotments I presume. The police will...

Endless repetition of what we all know. Be discrete, be polite, begone in due time and there should be few problems. If I do not know if someone has camped in my bit of wood why would I worry? I...

If you live in Berkshire why not do part of the Ridgeway for a start? Parts not churned up by off-roaders are very good walking. Crossed by roads so put in and collection are easy, even served by bus...

Sorry, did you say the shaft was damaged anyway? So what is the video supposed to prove?

?Defective shaft, spine not a factor. Can't really tell but the rear portion of the shaft seemed too stiff or wasn't bending so the stresses had cause a break before the "wiggle " reached the end.

Throwing the bow is an advanced technique after scoring 37 greens.

Incidentally Mike did I see your friend stringwalking when he was drawing the Kingfisher? Is that preferred over there to the Mediterranean three finger draw with one above and two below the arrow?

I agree that a 55-60lb bow will be a heavy pull until you are used to it but a 50lb should be alright. I won't be doing the bow workshop this year but hope to visit the RV for a day or day depending...

This another full-text Saxton Pope online and includes an account of Ishi who really knew bushcraft

It used to be a rule that one spent as long looking for a lost arrow as one had spent making it.

Saxton Pope, The Adventurous Bowmen

"If you can hear this call, down the avenues of time; if you can smell the dark forest incense and your hand itches to draw a cloth yard shaft across a sturdy...

If you wanted really secure knocks then you can cut a slot with the grain but deeper than your planned knock, glue in a sliver of hardwood to fill slot and then turn the shaft 90 degrees and cut your...

I nearly always use the Archery Centre. Worth reading the words of wisdom on the site as well.

Excellent book is The Archer's...
