Yep, the .303 SMLE tends to kick like a mule...Makes one respect the soldiers who had to shoot the mad minute to quality on the range.

RE: Out of the hide
I haven't gone out in over a year due to lock down. When I went up on Christmas/new years couldn't go shooting due to lil ones.
I might pop some posts up. P.s. that's a 180 psi compound bow. Gets harder as you get older lol
Lol...Don't mention the 'O' word...Maybe we should say, gets harder the wiser you get! Sounds better than the 'O' word.
The English longbow had a draw-weight of between 80-150 pounds...180? I'd need hydraulics.
I got my uncle to draw it back once. We waited and waited and waited 🤣🤣 probably over kill and useless but meh
Hmm, I think I'd want something one could more rapidly fire...I'd need a couple bowls of Wheatbix to draw back 180 ponds I think. Maybe three.
Nah you'd be fine, just got to use two hands. It's not as hard as it looks. But hurts your fingers after a few shots.
I think I'll stick to the guns...A bit easier, if one knows what one is doing. 😀
At least bolts don't go rusty and if they do they don't kill you 🤣 I've had these since I was 11 and 12. Found em when we were moving. I disposed of them as I didn't want them deteriorating and going off in the cupboard.
Different world when I was at school, I remember when I took them in for show and tell. We all had to bring things in about hobbies.
Previous week I brought in a rabbits tail and everyone lost their shit.
Then I brought these in and the teachers lost their shit.
I couldn't understand the rucuos, they asked us to bring in our hobbies.
