Archery Equipment

Its been a while since I last posted. I feel the need to tell you all about my shiny new bow. I actually bought it nearly a month ago, but was going to wait until I had some better pictures before I posted about it but then never got round to the photography bit.

The riser (handle) is one of the last of its kind (THE last to be sold at Aardvark Archery) as the manufacturer has stopped producing them now, god knows why as it is a very popular model. Anyway, it feels really nice to shoot especially compared to my old wooden club bow, which there's a fair chance someone else is using now.

Of course buying a bow also meant buying arrows too. I got mocked at this point for my choice in colour for my fletches (flights) as most people tend to have 3 fletches in 2 different colours, the odd one marking the fletch that faces away from the bow when the arrow is on the string. I however, chose to have 3 different colours, mainly as it makes me less likely to meet people with the same arrows in a competition, something that has happened a few times whilst I was using club equipment. In the end I chose hot pink, purple and blue.
