illegal in Britain. my uncle got arrested for having a longbow

>>25545242 you must be kidding, right?

>>25545242 that's a weapon of mass destruction. he could have done a school shooting with that. God forbid he own a bike wheel!

>>25545237 i tried it. it's very very hard, and everyone in the club has typically done it since they were kids. at the club i went to they were dickheads but that was just my experience. i stuck to rock climbing, climbers are super chill.

>>25545256 >rock climbing Don't you need a lot of gear for that?

>>25545256 well I have two things I want to try: first is chess, second is archery I already do chess to some degree i've 1600 elo on chess.com but I really think i should spend my time on physical activities more to strengthen my core rock climbing is perfect for that purpose i suppose and a cool sport

>>25545261 No, but they check at the entrance if you're a polyamorous anarcho-syndycalist

>>25545265 I hear rock climbing gyms are teeming with sexually liberal college age girls.

>>25545261 if you go to a climbing place you get everything you need there and you can climb the small rocks without any straps, there are matresses all around most rock climbers dont climb actual rocks most of the time

>>25545261 Rock climbers have a ton of equipment and i'm friends with some of them so i just mooch off of them. But the vast majority of the time I just go bouldering at a bouldering gym, no need for equipment and such. We don't go actually rock climbing very often, maybe once every few months months. Since we'd have to drive for a couple hours to go anywhere nice. >>25545272 yeah

>>25545275 >But the vast majority of the time I just go bouldering at a bouldering gym Alone?

There are local seupsa where i can practice trad bows but i heard its filled with boomers (poor and crazy ones)

>>25545271 perhaps but my climbing group is just me and the lads. our "instructor" is my best friend who has been climbing since he was a kid. >>25545280 only sometimes, i'm usually with at least 1 other person.

>>25545283 >i'm usually with at least 1 other person. Does this help you pick up the girls?

>>25545288 not in the least. we make absolute fools out of ourselves and goof around. the best place to pick up girls is when outdoor rock climbing since the atmosphere is a bit more romantic.

>>25545244 yes. I want to try archery but the closest range is pretty far away and they are full of bs to join and few spots. I think anything is hard to get into here if it's not football, I tried to find a place to play baseball too and it's non existent, I could only find softball and it's full of foids

>>25545295 So you're telling me I should drive my beat up civic out into the wilderness and approach the girls I find out there?

>>25545256 kek absolutely the same here it's like a secret society they barely take in new people and are full of bullshit

>>25545302 sure. learn to climb, learn how to properly use the equipment, learn to lead climb most importantly. go with a friend, make sure you're both decently fit and lean. if you go in the morning, you can climb a bit on a wall next to some ladies you fancy. then you start talking to them at noon once they start having their lunch. >>25545310 agreed. i've tried out quite a few club activities and none of them were as rude as archers.

>>25545310 isn't any less popular sport like that i tried getting into table tennis once, all the people there were fucking obnoxious

>>25545323 as previously mentioned climbers are super chill. anyone who participates in extreme sports (the best sports, in my opinion) are also cool people from my experience. especially mountaineers.

>>25545327 >mountaineers some my relative was real mountaineer sportsman he said they had something called acclimatization: you climb to say 2k meters, then build a tent camp, then drink there for 2 weeks - greatest sport ever

>>25545346 A better question I always have is what jobs those people work to be able to take 2 months of leave to climb some slope in Asia And how the hell they even afford it

>>25545352 yeah, he was a uni professor, so summer was free

>>25545346 Sounds sick as hell. I knew a few people who went up to decently high altitudes in the Alps in the winter and did shrooms in the forest. >>25545352 2 months is a bit of an exaggeration, they'd typically go for 3 weeks max. but at least in the Frons, if you save up all your vacation days for the year, you can get yourself that kind of vacation time no problem. And they can afford it because they're at least middle class and because they don't spend their money on anything else. A decent trip somewhere for a few weeks would cost maybe 2-4k euros, without counting the equipment they buy once and use for many years.

>>25545256 >it's very very hard This, archery requires a lot of stamina and muscle strenght, unless you stick to 20lb bows for 20-30m target shooting. I have 55lb bow and after 10looses need to take a break. Archery is great fun, but you either need to join the club or have a decently sized yard with some kind of huge screen behond the target sobyou don't accidently ans neighbour or his god.

Join a blowpipe club Gunlets lmao

>>25545467 >you don't accidently ans neighbour or his god

>>25545485 He means dog I think

>>25545485 lithuanians learned the hard way about shooting at other people's god

>>25545477 imagine needing to put your mouth on the tip of a tube to kill your enemies. sounds gay to me!

>>25545485 Pics relative >>25545492 We were attacked by hordes of white people carrying sand people dog religion to our lands, we were defending

>>25545237 fapping and archery is great way to build muscles unsymmetrically

>>25545530 So is using a sword shield spear etc

>>25545256 >they were dickheads Aren't those are default things in Baguetland?

>>25545541 No French pipo are very kind and them being rude is a psyop of the CIA

>>25545541 if you try talking to random people in public or make "small talk" with your colleagues it's evident that they'll be rude to you. because you're being rude to them. if you're in a club or a party or some other context where it is reasonable to talk to people, no, people are not rude at all. in general.

I play the guitar and permanently changed the structure and skin on my left hand.

I think I might have pulled my bow back too far, can't tell if cracked or not. Either the epoxy is very thick or it's delaminating. Compound bows are nice for accuracy but just aren't much fun.
