Hi,
After finishing my arrows for the refinished longbow yesterday i was keen on trying them in the field so ive been out for 1 1/2 hours after work today and took the camera with me.
At first i really didnt like the locator grip of the longbow and the handshock was pretty awfull too. But after putting a 10 strand astroflight string on and getting used to the new kind of grip i absolutely love it! Its so lightweight and silent it just feels natural.
and the shooting beens quite good, too.

The start of a small but steep gorge:

After the shot, as i came to retrieve the arrow i saw "natures triumhal arch" ive been shoting through :D

Axel, Nice tread, to sit at the end of the day with an adult beverage and get a feel for a stump shooter in Europe. Nice. I'm not good at the tech stuff, and glad to learn that the changing of the string helped with how the new bow performed for you.

Thanks alot for the kind words.

That's a nice play to roving. Beautiful looking woods. Too bad bowhunting isn't allowed in Germany. That's a bummer.

It's not often you hear that hunting with a rifle is ok but bow is not. Seems back@sswards IMO.
