I don't know about you lot but I've been looking at various stuff to keep me as occupied as possible especially with all the crap going on with the American elections currently. I like making stuff a lot, keeps me happy, I want to get good at string among other things so I can maybe make bows from scratch or other stuff.
Yes, shockingly the UK has not clamped down on archery, they only seem to draw the line at crossbows and predictably despite archery regularly being used throughout the ages as an effective weapon their reasoning is about as retarded as you'd expect but I may as well take advantage of the loophole and have some fun shooting at targets in my back garden.
I also definitely want to have a go at blacksmithing at some point, I'm just trying to think about a low tech DIY setup that will work in the rain.
I have a longbow, cross bow and a composite. My son is actually a pretty good archer, but he's had to put it on hold since we moved and there's no where to shoot. We live in a nanny state - so much so that for example, we are the only state in Australia that has no government land available for motorbike riding. You can't even own an e-scooter here.
