Title: I Slew the Wheelie Monster (sort of)
Post by: Digital Caveman on June 03, 2021, 02:44:01 pm
Somehow the machine of modern archery marketing found me. Luckily, I had a new hunting rig to test.    >:D

266 sheets of high tech gadgets are no match for a trusty sinew/hickory and trade-point.  To be honest, most of my field tips are from that place, maybe I'll test their pentation to.

Ha! That's great!

I wasn't sure what the catalog was, so I googled 'Lancaster Archery' and was transported to their website where I found this contraption. Asking price? $219! I seriously don't know what it is.

I missed watching their barebow tournament shoot, though.  Next year...

Opps, I didn't mean to give them any publicity.:-\  They are a major supplier of modern archery gear. 

That's a mechanized release, this is my 50 cent version.

That is a back tension release, looking at the price I am sure glad I got out of that rat race in 89.

A Bateman tab is $15 and you just about can't wear one out.

Modern archery has priced the average Joe out. I think that is why our trad ranks are filling so quickly in the last few years, selfbow shooters are an expanding bunch as well.

A catch pan for the shreds as they fall and off to the composter!

hee hee,  (lol) This was followed by my favorite hatchet, just to see how effective it is on a stack of paper.  It really made a mess of the corners  >:D
