The bow is a BearPaw Cayuga 66", marked 35# @28". Beautiful bow from Germany with a 30 year warranty.
The no-hunting in Norway is just related to politics. Someone said that a bow isn't good enough to kill game. So we have only old tree-stumps and 3D-targets to hunt.

Sounds like a great reason to vote them out of power. Thousands of years of bow hunting and war have proven the bow is a very effective weapon.

As long as extreme animal rights people have the amount of power that they have in Norway, voting out the politicians wont do any good. The Norwegian Bowhunters Association tried to get permission for a trial-hunt, but that was denied. So, for the time beeing, bowhunting in Norway is only a distant dream.

Right back at you, Jorge. Is bowhunting allowed in Spain?

Olin, I am from a small place called Hov in a county called Søndre Land. It is about 250 miles south of Rindal. But I have spent a lot of days fishing up in Møre og Romsdal. Beautiful landscape up there, especially on the coast.

Good stuff Brother! Do you ever get to go hunting in other countries?

I guess I could, but I do not feel good enough yet. Releasing an arrow against a living target isn't something I will do unless I am pretty sure it will hit right. So stumping is my hunting form for now.
