I started mid Feb. Bought a Yamaha bow off ebay after about 4 weeks. was gonna get some lower poundage limbs for it (ones that came with it were 42lb) until a nice chap at Aard decided to tell me they were none standard. so ended up buying my current bow which is a KAP surprise (26lb).
So by the end of my course I already had 2 bows.
Postman has just delivered my stabiliser so I'll be testing that out tonight.
With a bit of luck I might actually start hitting the target now.
(already looking out for my next bow)
