Just a bit of fun this one, please take the time to tell us which type of bow use, gives us an idea of what type people are using and what is most popular on these forums. Last edited by Liam on Tue Aug 05, 2008 10:13 am; edited 4 times in total

I use recurve, compound and English longbow to shoot target, field, clout and flight. I feel to call yourself a true archedr, you must experience all disciplines.

Well nearly a yr down the line lol I have now switched to Compound ( Merlin max 3000) due to shoulder injury, i have also shot a bit of longbow and must say compound for me is the most enjoyable

Hi Ross, welcome aboard, another Merlin man I see. Are Merlin big down under then? And the big question is, is the XS you shoot better than the max 3000? Steve is trying to convert me _________________ Why not?

Just go and tell Chris at Merlin how good a representative you would be as one of the grass roots archers and ask him for one But I suggest you smile as you ask, and make sure Ben doesn't hear.
