Excellent use of gifs for once lmao

compound crossbow = accuracy and death

more illegal than a gun now...go figure.

Had one to play with for a while, stupid powerful, so much more than any .22

But accuracy and range much less. (this said I was doing target shooting at the time so a "bad" shot was 1cm out at 20 meters.)

You would know mister-lives-out-of-a-suitcase...

Get me a job working with you?

And whilst you were typing that I was on the phone to my travel agent !

Honestly dude, a professional stunt rider who earns his income doing mono's and other stunts. The risk he's taking could be less than anyone on here dragging a car or doing a slide around a corner, are they all morons? Maybe for an inexperienced rider the coffin is expected, but you don't actually know anything about this guys ability. Maybe understand this before you start calling my friends names.

i dont need to know him, his a fk wit its a public road i highly doubt he professionally stunt rides on open roads with other motorists around to endager.

As a so called professional it makes his behaviour even worse, he should know better. For what its worth i have the same opinion of people racing or sliding the streets.. just cos this guy wets your appatite makes him noless a fool than every other hoon on a public road breaking the law and being reckless.

good luck convincing me otherwise.. ill keep an eye out for him on ACA... dead.

On the topic of legalities and double standards, I went for an archery lesson on Sunday...pretty good fun. But the thought occurred to me that you need a licence and gun safe to possess a gun, yet you can purchase a bow and leave it out in your back yard - these things are quieter than guns and you could kill someone pretty easily with an arrow

Suddenly have an interest in bows now; anyone here do archery or done it before?

Has been a while, but yes - expensive hobby

Which one did you go to?

Field archery is way more fun than standard target archery

Believe you're thinking crossbow, not compound

A mate who was present on Sunday may or may not have owned one and I may or may not have shot it through a deoderant can. They are freakishly accurate at short ranges. Word on the street is you can buy one in another country and have it sent over disassembled as power tool parts...

What's the diff with field archery?

I went to Box Hill.

I thought he was talking about compound bows too, but Hamish said compound crossbow, which is illegal.

[alr33x]

bow hunting skills?

I went to Box Hill.

Field archery is like golf, usually in some bushy area, walk from target to target, different distances etc.

Doh, missed that

Ahhh yeah, can see a lot of arrows getting lost in that and they are more expensive than golf balls lol.

Illegal on the left, legal on the right

[CrispyFries]

Don't think I lost any, certainly bent a few on trees though :-/

Love a good compound

[Birds]

I must be out or I'd pick up the phone, where could I be?

[JEPPE]

Wasn't it you that was saying ducatis are no good vs ash saying his mates love theirs?

They're not no good, they're overrated and overpriced in a general sense. But like cognac the price part is often not an issue. The majority of owners use them for cafe transport which is sad for any bike. This is why when someone uses them right, like I believe Ash was saying his mates do, then it's awesome, just as awesome as any bike. When I took an 848 around Sepang it was a perfectly good bike, but a Japanese one for half the price could do just as well.

good luck convincing me otherwise.. ill keep an eye out for him on ACA... dead.

Hahahahaha, even the fact that you watch ACA is enough said for me. Last I saw an ad for that show it was on imports. Enjoy but you'll be waiting a long time lol

the problem is that i'm old and after 10 years in hospitality i know pricing trends of products i buy

hennessey XO has undergone 3 price rises in the past 3 years that have been more than susbstantial. in some markets this has seen the price for the end user increase by over 50%

LVMH (louis vuitton moet hennessey) have bought out a lot of the competition in the market and are driving costs up.

hennessey paradis has almost doubled in price in the last 5 years.

hennessey XO is just the XO with the name... and has the price to reflect it's market standing, not the quality of the product - dont get me wrong.... it's a great drink... seriously great... but just overpriced these days.

I blame hip hop

if you want a reccomendation, - paul girard XO 25 yr is relatively easy to find and a better drop at a similar better price

personally I prefer armagnac, grab a bottle of 1979 comte de lamaestre. tastes 100x better than henney XO and should set you back less coin

I shall try these things you speak of. It took me a year to open the xo though so may take a while

The XO I have was a gift, happy with that price!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]
