archery equipment wanted

[Pouatchee]

Hi

i am an ancient archer without a bow and arrows. i now have enough land to start shooting again. does anyone know, in the area of rayong, pataya, chonburi... where i can find an outfitter? I am looking, if possible, for a bow of at least 90 pull maximum. i would settle for an olympic style bow. 

 

i have enough connections  with machinists i could probably design the arrows myself. the bow...maybe too

 

i never see nor hear about archery in thailand. i know guns are easily available for any connected person, and i know .177 pellet guns are impossible to get. however, if anyone can guide me in the right direction nearby i would be willing to travel to re-equip myself.

I found a couple of places selling archery equipment just using google, also there is a fairly large archery club in Pattaya, it my be worth contacting them to see if they can steer you to a decent supplier of kit... anyway good luck, and if you find any good suppliers do put a follow up on this forum with their contact details,

Cheers...

These clubs often have shops to sell all sorts of bows arrows and other equipment. Try "archery Thai" in Bangkok. My son decided he wanted to try archery and ended up buying equipment from them. He also ordered older style bows from overseas. Not too expensive.

As said I got all my carbon arrows, a Cartel Olympic bow and target board material from Chiang Mai archery they have a store in Bangkok to.

[ignore it]

Lazada seems to have lots of archery stuff.

[ardsong]

archery is very popular in Thailand and my grandson is shooting regular tournements in Rayong, Chonbury , Lampang, Phrae. He is using imported bows as his trainer and club suggests that Thailand does not make bows.

check N.A.A.T. National archery association of Thailand, they will have clubs in your neighbourhood for a start in your search.

Decathlon has archery equipment. I hope that helps.

Not illegal for falangies to own.

 

Compound bows I found boring, an Olympic type bow or traditional English long bow requires skill.

 

Just saying.????

a tad true  you have to be able to keep the bow drawn and deal with the psi's which i figure is about 30-40. i like the pully bow for the distance they can reach. in my opinion, any bow is cool... a great way to focus and relax. thanks for the reality check that they are not illegal

 

cheers

Yeah difficult at moment for me taking up my archery as it so hot this time of year and I'm not an early riser these days.

 

My Cartel olympic bow is 80 lb pull and set up with a bow loop so I can trigger shoot same as a compound bow.

 

I have a target stand set up of 25 metre, 35 metres and 50 metres.

 

I enjoy archery and shooting my b.i.l. 2.2 rifle on my small bit of farmland.

Motorbike tours around tours is also one of my hobbies.

sorry, i searched that but i dont know what it is. i know bb guns .177 are illegal for us to own (horse crap if you ask me). 80 lbs is a pretty heavy draw. 

[Kevin Taylor]

Are you able to rent equipment at these archery clubs and sort of have a try for 20 mins or so ? I have no experience in this at all but feel it would be something I would like. I went down the rabbit hole a while ago with ancient archery and was surprised to learn that their techniques were more draw the bow look at target and release. No real sighting just muscle memory I suppose.

Have you tried the Robin Hood pub?   555

it has more or less evolved into an art form imho. archery is a beautiful sport and i stopped before things like trigger shooting, but i am eager to try the new tech available. not sure, buy i think they even have laser sights. some might say, if it exists, that it takes the S outta sport, but i would love to try it

Thai brother in law has a •22 air-rifle I should of wrote which shoot on my farmland where I set targets up to as far as 90 metres.

 

My archery target board is a permanent set up to, I just move to 3 set out distance positions 

 

35 metres is my favourite distance.

it actually is as difficult to get an air gun , for a thai, as it is an actual gun. foreigners arent allowed to own them. i miss my .177 pellet gun. 

 

35 metres is a very good practice distance. not too close, not too far

It would be regarded as an illegal gun but it never leaves the farm they were ready available to buy in Pattaya a good few year back.

 

Yeah 35 metres I can get rusty when not taking up my archery so I am glad when I get all 10 or 15 arrows on the target board taking wind into account and concentration is quite relaxing.

Just a note for you I have found the aftermarket arrow vanes that give a good flight the vanes that were put on the carbon arrows initially were not that good.

 

The ones that are plastic but look like real feathers are good, the ones that are one piece plastic shape are smaller and I found didn't give such and good accuracy flight.

I use super glue the elephant one ???? in 7-11.

Of course with use vanes come off and I keep packs of spare.

 

It is not easy but with practice I do place the vanes on my carbon arrows myself so they are properly in place and the arrows are exactly the same.

 

I make my own loops for the bow string so I can use my trigger release equipment which gives me more accuracy than using finger method.
