This is what Popeye calls it "Robbers".

That's right. Energy companies can charge what ever the market will bear.

Here's a link to the Europes current fuel prices per gallon as compared to the average price in the US..

Got my first bow a couple of weeks ago, finally got it set up and tuned. Arrow shafts came in on Monday but the other arrow components are still being shipped.

I can't help but noticed you shopped online for your men's apparel there (Topman.com bag on the far left) TUP.

Ever see yourself or anyone you know on Google Earth? I have. Well I found myself driving my Camry about a block from my apartment! This was in the Spring of 2012. I remember seeing the Google Earth truck that day.

Popeye, you should remove the google map link, otherwise everyone on the internet will know where you live.

That is gorgeous T-U-P, I have a compound, but did have several hunting recurves, I had Bear in the 70s, Kodiak Magnum, pinched and stacked tremendously, 52" as I recall, I had a 60" Martin Saber at 65lbs, also stacked badly, and a BigHorn by Azbell, 60" and 71lbs, once it was strung it was so smooth, stringing it could get ugly, but man would it shoot, I could group with it fairly well at 35 yards shooting instinctively. I see yours has a machined aluminum handle, target bows are usually a lower weight? tell us a little more, are you going to fletch your own arrows??? brat

I don't ever remember shopping there, so it's probably from my ex. I know there's a physical Topman (and the female version) store here in Toronto.

Yes it's a SF Forged+ riser (machined on forged aluminum) with SF Axiom+ limbs. It's a 70" bow and I'm doing 34lbs right now. The limbs themselves are rated 32lbs at 28" draw length, but of course that can be adjusted both up and down. I'm fairly sure I can get up to 37~38lbs out of this set up. Glad you mentioned arrows. In fact, my fletchings just arrived today and I fletched 6 of my arrows. They are Easton Carbon One shafts:

I can't imagine pulling anything over 60lbs... Although I'm guessing you don't shoot as frequently in hunting as target competitions. I'm mainly doing indoors right now (18m). If I got my bow earlier in the year I could've gone outdoor for some 30m, but it's starting to get cold outside and getting dark early, not ideal for shooting with a day job.

Very Pretty, and I bet it shoots nicely, I would love to put a coupla dozen arrows through that, when I would practice, I would shoot for a group, and when I got a nice group I would quit, that was much better than wearing yourself out and getting sloppy, my previous compound was a veritable hammer, it was an early machined riser Golden Eagle Vision with the Hammer Cams, it would absolutely shoot like a lazer, UNTIL, your form broke down, then it would spray arrows like a shotgun, but it was very fast, as I hunt primarily on the ground, I wanted a flat shooting bow. brat

Oh and very glad to hear you fletch your own arrows, I still shoot aluminum, and like the old X7s with pink and white fletchings as I can see the arrow in flight, love it.

It's much nicer than the club bow I was shooting before. I usually shoot for 2 hours each session (including chilling time with other club members of course), even if my grouping gets bad I just do it for muscle training. I'll be getting an Ontario archery membership next year and hopefully join some official indoor tournaments.
