    Theres a place in palmy go there. Target achery I think its called. Google bow shops in palmerston north. Thats what I done when I was there during chemo.

    She got the bits I needed and let me have a play with other bows and taught me how to draw it back and stuff.

    How to get started

    I got someone to teach me with her compound, I've done everything else just by google search. Had my bow two days now and had it sighted in within two hours of opening the box of bits. Now shooting milk bottles very consistently at various ranges from 10yards to 25yards.

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
