    There is a reason I plan on keeping my bow and arrow

      We have about 10 bows, ranging from small 12 lb. draw bows I used to train the kids (starting at age 6-8) all the way up to the compound hunting bows my wife and I shoot.

      My main hunting bow is a PSE MACH 12 compound capable of shooting a broadhead at over 300 fps (~200 mph).

      PSE MACH 12;

      The wifes bow is also a PSE, but a little bit lighter model. We also have Bear and Browning models, but they're a bit older.

      Anyone outside the US & Canada shooing compounds, or are you guys still using recurves and longbows?

        Any crossbows perhaps?

            Swords are also nice for effect.. I have a nice big hand-and-a-half sword (51" long, 39" blade, weight about 5 lbs) that I brought to work one day.. I can wield it one-handed easily, and was doing those back and forth figure eight moves like Conan the Barbarian. One of my co-workers walked into the room and practically shit himself.

              Hmm....such dogs are probably giving better effect than any of the solutions above (especially when the presentation was made)

                Got a few swords here too; some replicas but also katana's brought back by our fathers from the Pacific theater during WWII.

                Good K9's, that's for sure.

                Our dog Spike isn't currently a German Shepard but 115 lbs. of Rottweiler/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and fully capable of such things in defense of his humans.

                Even so he's a pushover for the grandkids and other little ones, often rolling on the floor with his tongue hanging out while they use him for a play rug

                  Somehow I doubt (I remeber how he's looking from one of the pghotos...) he's that fast and can jump like this (and that is most incredible thing in this videoa imho). Besides he's a bigger target (important in trick number 2)

                    Not German shepards. Belgian shepards.

                      Ahh, now I know what kind of dogs to look for when I'll want to have one

                      Seriously, do they fit so good in such role as in the videos (and I don't mean their physical part - they look quite a bit too agressive in the video; of course this could be also 'proper" training)

                        I know someone who has a full-blooded wolf. He has a sweet temperament and lets you pet him, but he is very big and scary looking.. big teeth, big paws.. scary.
