Hahaha! Can’t wait till they start turning each other into charcoal with flamethrowers!

 

[10ring'r]

WELL, there goes our bows now! Mac

Rage broadhead or similar and they would have bled out before making it to the er.

And then there's this:
"He was described as a 5’6″ tall black male with short, curly black hair who is in his mid-twenties. He was last seen wearing a gray or blue heavy jacket with white fleece and an old blue backpack. He was last seen riding a purple Cannondale bicycle."

LOL

"circle the shopping-carts"

I'm just sayin'....

 

[Jack's Dad]

Background checks for arrow purchases? Limits on quiver capacity?

 

[oneshot86]

nothing says fuck you better than stickin a bitch w a arrow, like totally winning hearts and minds

You want Hobo With A Shotgun???

This is how you get Hobo With A Shotgun...

I'm not surprised, nor will I think this will be the last time it happens.

Most likely a city dweller with no real archery experience using target arrows.

Had a hunter decided to go hunting, those two fucks would have been DOA in a pool of their own blood courtesy of a broadhead.

Word.

And most of those "archery programs" in large cities tailored for the yuppie market have neutered the art down to Crossfit type stuff meant to help emotionally fragile urbanites find "zen" as well as lose some weight through the exercise.

Find a guy who relies on a bow to put food on the table and keep predators out of his livestock and he'll teach ya' one or two things about just how deadly it is, when done properly.

 

[Badfinger]

Obviously, some of Elizabeth Warren's tribe ?

I'd rather take a 9mm to the nutsack than a broadhead.

100 grain three blade Montec head + carbon shaft weighted with 3 strands of lead rosin solder wire inside the core + 55 lb folding survival bow = COMPLETE pass-through on 200-300 pound hogs at 25-40 yards with massive blood trail and short sprint...

US SOE/OSS issued a folding crossbow for operatives during WWII, as a fellow member stated on another thread here.

MA-3 dual edge broadhead was US Special Forces issue in the 1980's and 90's.

There is a reason why some weapons never phase out of use or become obsolete.

There was also this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill , who may or may not have used his longbow on German solders. He definitely used his claymore on 'em, though.

And this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossbow#Modern_military_and_paramilitary_use

Btw, do you have one of those folding crossbows or have you used one? Thought about getting one or two, figured they might come in useful sometime.

 

[MtnCreek]

If they come out with a homeless crackhead target, I'll get back into shooting 3D.

 

[HiDesertELR]

But does it qualify as cultural appropriation? That might be a high-crime in that neck of the woods.

 

[Cowcatcher]

So was it a longbow, recurve or one of those tactical assault bows with pulleys, cams, high cap quiver, fiber optic sights? Shooter pulled it with his fingers or did he have a quick release that aids in firing thousands of arrows without raw fingertips? Just soooo many questions.

Black guy did a driveby from a purple bicycle. I'm pretty sure that's an affirmative defense.

Probably stepped in a pile of human shit and it pushed him over the edge.....

 

[Blue Sky Country]

What I really want to know is whether the shooter simply got off the bicycle, fired, then got back on and rode off, or he was pedaling/moving and shooting at the same time...

If it is the latter case, that is impressive as fuck.

Many years ago, when I was in 5th grade, my school did trebuchet competitions. You could use the little kit if you wanted or you could build something more... impressive. I was in the latter category... and my dad is a mechanical engineer. So we built a sturdy, wheeled fixed-and-swinging weight small-scale siege weapon that was about 10 feet tall when the arm was upright. Our projectile wasn't a golf or tennis ball in a sling; we used pyramidal fishing weights secured to looped lengths of cord, along with a larger, heavier weight to demonstrate the penetrative power of the instrument.

Another student kinda cheated and had a friend of his dad's weld his out of metal; mine was hand-built with me and my dad. They kinda stopped and toned down the trebuchet competition after that year, because of us ambitious types building proper war engines. It's still in my folks' garage, though. I oughta see if the science teacher wants it for a demonstration and take it over there.
