TPREI

Great Conference! Learned a great deal from all of the knowledgeable instructors and fellow inspectors.

Go TPREIA!

Am I the only Texas Inspector that missed this due to bow hunting season? :smiley:

Hey John, I have a question for you about bows. I know nothing about them. What bow would you choose as a weapon? Not a bow for hunting, but one for defense or combat?

Hey Nick,

As far as I can tell, the gun has superseded the bow for combat effectiveness :D.

I understand that the Chinese equip some military and police units with crossbows. Why they do that, I do not know. In my opinion, the value of a bow is in it’s stealth.

I agree. I love that they’re silent compared to the quietest firearm. Ear protection not required.
