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.

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...

Will a whisker Biscuit work on a Martin Jaguar takedown?

By
I have a old Martin Jaguar take down that i bought years ago on a sale I and rarely shot it. Mostly because it felt very heavy to me with a 45lb draw weight as a young teen, when I also had an easy to pull back compound. Any ways the bow has been sitting collecting dust and I would like to use it again. The model came with a crappy plastic arrow rest and I was wondering if I could added a whiskey biscuit to it without any issues? submitted by /u/sigrug [link] [comments] from newest submissions : Archery https://ift.tt/3dWFgF8 via

Which Sites are Recommended for "Advanced Newbies"?

By
Hello there fellow archers, I'm newish to archery as a hobby and could use a little advice. When I first decided I wanted to give it a shot (sorry, I had to make that pun), I bought a highly reviewed, newbie-friendly, bow on Amazon. But... Just today, the 50" takedown bow I ordered completely broke, I cracked the handle, tore the bowling, have hairline fractures in both limbs, and probably a few more things. So anyway, I have a couple questions about what sites are recommended for "Advanced Novices" like myself. I'm pretty good, not great, but I do get a lot of enjoyment out of it as a hobby. So here's my questions: Which sites do you recommend for buying a much more reliable bow than the one I found on Amazon. The one from Amazon was rated as 55-60lbs, and since I broke it, it leads me to believe that I'd need a bow that's draw-weight is rated as something like 60-65lbs or 65-70lbs. My wife and I are on a pretty tight budget, so we can't a...
