    Interesting. Ive sent them an enquiry re shipping costs. Will let you know.:)

    :eek:
    The shipping is £21. That makes the whole thing 59 euro. Depends on how long it would last i suppose but I think I stick to the cardboard boxes for the moment!

    I asked them about the life expectancy and this is the reply

    That's quite a hard one to answer as it depends on usage. We have had one at our range now for just over a year and it is still fine and is used often.

    So would be ok if you got a couple of years out of it eh

    For that overall price yer better off getting a 65cm superbutt. Cheap, light, last ages. Quicks and archershop do them.

    They're still 50 pounds excluding postage so could be eighty pounds of more.
    What do you think of this one? Probably wear out pretty fast?

    I checked with quicks, that last one would be 7.50 delivery so total 34.45 pounds.
    The super butt is 57 pounds including delivery of 7.50

    Used to use them and shot them to bits fairly quick. I used 2 together with cow mats inbetween them. Might be OK for recurve, but I'd still get two and band them together.

    I have one of them(got it for free :D )
    It is almost shot out, and ive maybe shot around a thousand arrows at it.... Would probably last longer with carbons but my aluminiums absolutely decimate it!! I have used a cow mat too, lasts longer but a lot harder on arrows.....
