Um, am I the asshole if I want a refund? (The Longbow Shop purchase)

By

Hi /r/Archery, so back in early april I ordered a Blackfoot Bearpaw bow from The Longbow Shop UK in #40. I have still yet to receive anything.

Over the course of these nearly 5 months, I've asked for 5 updates. On average it takes 2/3 days for an email reply and i've basically gotten the runaround everytime saying that the bow is being custom made and requires time. But it's been five months. I was told originally it would take 8-10 weeks (so late June at the latest) and the last email had said mid-late august (emailed in mid JULY) for shipping at the latest.

Today, on Aug 30, I get an email from asking where my bow is last Friday. All it says is, "i've been on vacation, ask Pip" and an email to someone at bickerstaff bows.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time even wanting to give my money at this point with how unclear they've been through everything and I am worried if there is a problem, shipping will be a royal pain (as im in the states). The whole reason I bought from them in the first place was because they advertised they had the bow at the # but then some days after I ordered, they emailed saying they didn't. I get COVID makes everything a pain in the ass but i've been given the runaround so many times I'm just angry at them now.

If you were me, would you stick through the order, or just cancel (which i've tried to do twice and theyve managed to somehow get information on my bow's location the two times i've asked) and look for something else?]

Edit: Also, anyone have any recommendations for an American Longbow/flatbow in the $200-$300 range? Since it seems like trying to get a Blackfoot is a failure.

Happy St. Crispin's Day!

Battle of Agincourt From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ​ Part of the Hundred Years' War Date 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) Location Azincourt, County of Saint-Pol (now Pas-de-Calais) Result English victory ​ The Battle of Agincourt French: Azincourt was an English victory in the Hundred Years' War. It took place on 25 October 1415 (Saint Crispin's Day) near Azincourt, in northern France.[b] The unexpected English victory against the numerically superior French army boosted English morale and prestige, crippled France and started a new period of English dominance in the war. ​ After several decades of relative peace, the English had resumed the war in 1415 amid the failure of negotiations with the French. In the ensuing campaign, many soldiers died from disease, and the English numbers dwindled; they tried to withdraw to English-held Calais but found their path blocked by a considerably larger French army. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the ba...

New Archers: What information do you need to know, and how do you find it?

By
One thing that I love about this community compared to other online archery forums is that it's got a good mix of experience. It's also where a lot of new archers seem to come for advice when starting out. That's great! However, it can be frustrating to give good advice without the correct information. Every body is different, and so every archer's setup and starting point is going to be a little different too. Eye dominance: For any shooting sport, it's important to know which eye is dominant because that's the eye that you will naturally aim with. There are several different tests that you can do, but the one that I've found to be most simple is to hold your hands up with your fingers and thumbs extended and overlap them so that they make a triangle. Look at an object in the distance through that triangle. Then you can either close each eye (one at a time) or bring your hands back to your face while continuing to look at the object. The eye that keeps ...

A Historical Defense of Lars Anderson

By
If you've been on an archery forum in the last few years, you've seen the discussions about Lars Anderson and his speed shooting videos. The comments across the internet about his videos are almost universally negative. You wouldn't believe the hate this guy gets. In a way, it's understandable. In his videos, Lars essentially claims that modern archers have lost many of the techniques that made ancient archers so formidable, and that through his readings of ancient archery manuals, he was able to rediscover some of those techniques. He then demonstrates that by using those techniques, he has become the fastest speed shooter alive today. And oh my god, those claims set the archery world on fire. The amount of hate he got then, and continues to get, is insane.These are VERY bold claims, and it's only natural to be skeptical. However, I find most of his critics to be disingenuous. And through my own readings of the early archery writings, I find that Lars is a lot c...
