You never know where these things go. Start small and realistic and you won't get to disappointed if it all goes pear shaped.

Re: Crossbow shooting in South Wales.

Bob what part of South Wales are you? A mate of mine has a farm in the Merthyr area. I'm from just outside Nelson. Not far from Merthyr. Would your mate be willing to let me use a bit of his land to shoot? If so we could have a bit of a meet n shoot once or twice a month. I have a mate who would be...

Re: Crossbow shooting in South Wales.

I'll be honest hunting with the crossbow in SHTF isn't my reason for needing a longer range. I think that in the U.K. the local wild life will be hunted to extinction within two weeks with not a thought of leaving any alive to breed and feed you the following year.

Re: Crossbow shooting in South Wales.

Cadet range would be great for zeroing but most will only be 20-25m long. I also agree that no one will be willing to let you use them incase it comes back on them. I'm going to keep looking for a place local to me I think, and keep using the tips for now.

Re: Crossbow shooting in South Wales.

I've spoken to my local archery club and they were a bunch of arrogant tools. They don't even allow compound bows. The local gun club by my has gone and is now farm land. I use part of a tip but it's not ideal. Around this way you say crossbow and people hear holligan or nutter. I was just wondering...

Crossbow shooting in South Wales.

Does anyone in the South Wales area know of anywhere that could be used to fire crossbows and crossbow pistols? The place I'm using at the moment is ok but it's very open and when it's windy it's no good. I have another place I use but it's only about 30m in range. I want to go up to about 70m to se...

Re: New crossbow purchased advice please on scope/laser

I have a panther 175lb crossbow that came with a dot sight. I was looking for an scope as I figured if things do go pear shaped I may struggle getting batteries. I looked at lots of scopes a I was given a scope that looks just like that one but no BSA logo on it. I was going to try it out for a few ...

Re: S Wales realistic prepper.

Thanks. Not preparing for any specific event but I do think economic collapse or nuclear strike are the most likely. I e thought a lot and I think in almost all events the best course of action is to big in until you have no choice but to get out and disappear. I'm concentrating on food stocks at ho...

Looking to eventually start a small group that will meet up to shoot, swap tips and experience. I have some reserve forces experience and have been an outdoor person all...
