bet you never saw this coming....

cool, well done mate. What's the practical assessments like? Is it sort of like the dsc1 shooting test in principal or is it more open than that?

 

[badbob]

Sell that contraption on Ebay and get a proper bow...
Hunting Elk in Colorado High Country with a bow and arrow,
that beats shooting muntjac with a .308 any day,
........though you don t shoot many...but its proper hunting,
not shooting.

At he moment its like your DSC1.But as there as only been a few courses run upto date, we are always looking at improving things to make it more realistic. Its surprising how the preasure builds when you do the test everything looks smaller and twice as far.I noticed people shot much more consistent when shooting at 3d targets in woodland, than at a paper target.
Heres a clip i filmed tracking a Mountain Reedbuck, after it was shot with a Pse Stinger.

Do you need to join the BBA to do the practicable a test or can you do the test through them anyway??


Or is it possible to get a group together and book a day to suit with Tony instead just with the BBA approval

Anyone can do the online test,I will find out if you need to be a member of the BBA to do the field test.
The field test needs to be done through the BBA as they have the qualified instructors, i dont think Tony is a instructor for the BBA.
