Arcus Arrowstar

The Arcus Arrowstar is not a toy.

This is a CO2 gun that fires small arrows with a high degree of accuracy for shortish range shots.

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Yes. Those evil squirrels that eat my grill cover are in trouble...

Primitive Weapons

I have recently taken up primitive archery again. By that I mean long bows. Not compound bows. I already have a compound bow and a compound crossbow.

A friend of mine is a big time SCA Archer. The SCA is the Society for Creative Anachronism. Basically they are a bunch of beer drinkers with a history problem.

It's been like 15 or 20 years since I have done any real archery. I did OK. I shot about 200 arrows and didn't miss the target. I was using a 30 pound long bow. Some folks had crossbows too. Big fun.

I will be buying a decent bow this summer. Maybe even do some bow hunting this fall.
