Sooo…..anyone try this or own one? Seems like something fun to add to the shooting range.

Came across this and thought it would be fun to add to the archery range. Pros vs cons?

They are a blast. Our local archery club bought one.

How big of an area do they have spaced for it?

 

[bigsky2]

I’d say it’s about 40 yards wide. I’m not sure if it’s the exact same model but it’s a thrower that throws foam discs just like that. They were debating on getting it because of the cost. Last year they set it up at their annual shoot and charged $5 to get several shots at it with cheap recurves and long bows with flu flu arrows. I’m pretty sure they paid for it in two days.

Pros is it looks fun as hell.

Cons is its $1500.00 and when are you ever shooting at running or flying animals with a bow?

The ODWC had one for their archery in the schools program years ago when I was a intern. Spent many a afternoon shooting our bows at that thing and lost more than a few arrows.

Rabbits and pheasants with a recurve. Such a fun way to pursue those animals

Copy that. The grouse I’ve shot have been still. I’m to much of a tight wad to fling arrows off a mountain!

Looks like fun, after you get the hang of it. Until then, it looks as frustrating as golf.

Me looking for my arrows throughout the field…


Looks like fun though!

You use big heavy arrows with very large fetching so they are actually very easy to recover. You also learn to not even go full draw on the recurve as it doesn't take much to kill a squirrel, rabbit, grouse, pheasant, etc. What you do go thru is points. Either field point or judo take a toll when hitting trees or rocks

These could help…..with the arrow anxiety.

Add…Robinson Ground Squirrels….. a.k.a gophers.

 

[PRO MO]

we used to just hide around the lilac bush, and throw them up for the shooter. this seems safer, but i could buy a new recurve, arrows, and all the equipment to set the thrower up safely for less than $1500...
