Im planning on investing a recurve bow in the next few weeks. new to archery but figured it would be an awesome skill to have in the bank if i ever needed it. apparently its illegal to hunt game with any bow or x-bow for the time being unfortunately. but cant hurt to get the skill learnt just now.

Yes it is.
However, Google "Field Target Archery" and "National Field Archery Society" for a training option that is legal

Yes, but we simply can't discuss how to harm, injure or kill other people on this forum.

Thats fair enough I guess, but still seems a bit like, "sticking your head in the sand" , to me if I want to be able to say , build a fire when SHTF, I will get the knowledge now, I wont build many fires , I will turn the central heating up but I have the knowledge.


Anyway heres one for the mod to delete (unless they see the funny side )

The basic principle is: - "If you're likely to **** up, **** up aggressively". Prepare accordingly. Job jobbed.

Hi there!

Does anyone know how to unstring a recurve crossbow for transport,pls?

[Plymtom]

The quick answer would be he opposite way to how you got the string on there in the first place, mine came with a length of plastic coated steel wire which you put on as if it were the string, cock it as such, then thread the real string inside and under it, fire it, it falls off leaving the string in place, it worked for me when I replaced a string which was on it's way out, but then why collapse it for transport? get a bag made for purpose, you're far less likely to get into trouble carrying it about if you do it properly, and I dare say there are laws that come into play which you need to be aware of, it just sounds like a bag of worms to me.

Why unstring it? As far as I know without the string attached it is not considered as a weapon in the eyes of the law and I won`t get into trouble carrying it in my car if police stops me (on the way to the range).
Please correct me if I`m wrong...

you need a bow stringer to unstring either that or face the bow to the right, stand behind it , put your right leg over the bow and bend the limbs so the string loosens. then take one hand and pull the loop off the top. Never leave your bow strung when not in use as this stresses the limbs and could warp the wood meaning it would loose its poundage , always keep the bow in top condition and frequently change and wax your string. plenty of youtube vids to keep you right.

Hi!

Thank You for your answer! I`ve looked on youtube, not sure about what I`ve seen. Would You share a link for your method,pls? Some people say stand on the footrest while doing this, some say DON`T ever, put your leg on the limb. Confused...

I did not know that was the case, in which case a crossbow stringer which comes with it as I said would do the trick, if it's a lower powered one I'm not sure what they come with or pre owned ones for that matter, I've no idea what the law says on transporting crossbows, I'd imagine a police firearms unit would turn up PDQ even of you wandered around a town with an unstrung one slung over your shoulder, whether the same would happen with a recurve bow is another story
