You got to make some calls.

My parents house in Langley, I have a few bows. If you want, just let me know. I need more reasons to practise. What is your draw weight and length?

They have room for one, but no, just outdoor... There is room to shoot out to 54 yards safely. No 3d targets or anything, just some homemade bag targets.

Wow thx! I have no idea as to draw weight and length, never used a bow before but I've always wanted to learn. Give me a shout if you do get out there I'll supply the cold ones ;)

On a note with the Burnaby Range near Kensington, heard they are upping the fees a little starting in April. And also there will be a "proficiency" test of sort. Seems like there has been quite a bit of complaints against newbie buying the biggest bow available and just flinging arrows all over the place. So don't know how novice friendly they are now a days. Also from what I know, they don't do rentals. It is a bring your own gear kind of place.

The only problem I see is I don't have any midweight bows. I have some kid bows and then my lowest weight recurve is 50# but by next week I will have my black bear riser with sage limbs that will draw around 42# at 28"

I do have a couple older lower poundage compounds. We can figure something out.
