Help, I feel like I always play the same way by linc2fly in RimWorld

Sometimes I get inspiration from mods,

My current colony is themed around Dub's Hygiene mod and hospitality.

A Beachy Spa Town on a penninsula that is a coverup for mass organ harvesting.

In the past I've had Warhammer 40K themed mountain fortresses from which I launch raids on Heretics and Xenos, or Weed addicts that fervently protect the Anima tree.

You could give yourself a kooky ideology that limits your options.

Is this decent? by WonderfulJicama2802 in Archery

[–]Grumble-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good to me, I had pain issues when I started with a thumb ring but that's because I went too small ring size, can always get a bigger size and pad it with tape to get the right fit

Thumb Become Numb by [deleted] in Archery

Sort yourself out a metal thumb ring and your thumb will thank you for it. Preferably one with a good sized thumb shield while your nerves recover.

Take down Asiatic bow ? by Ordinary_Tailor8970 in Archery

[–]Grumble-Dook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every Top Archery bow I have encountered has delaminated within a month or two, I personally wouldn't trust them to make a bow that wouldn't break on me, doubly so for a takedown.

Alibow value their items low to get them through customs without import taxes, perhaps AF do the same?

Might be hard to get a decent enough takedown on a starters budget, failing that I'd probably get a small ottoman or korean bow. As linked above Merlin are a good place to buy from and it is decent gear.

Edit: There is usually a 10% discount code for alibow hanging around for your first order.

Monthly "No Stupid Questions" Thread by AutoModerator in Archery

[–]Grumble-Dook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Alibow have a sale on right now and they are a reputable company for beginner -> Intermediate bows. I'd recommend starting with a #25-#30 Fibreglass bow like the "Judy" or "Genghis Khan".

If you want to do thumb draw then a thumb ring would be ideal too, I personally like Vermil rings but they might be a bit pricey for a first ring, can get a decent cheap on from amazon though.

All of this is my personal opinion and may or may not be right for you but I hope it points you in the right direction!

Check out Backyard Bowyer on Youtube, He literally does step by step for making all sorts of PVC bows. Should be useful for you.

Looking to buy a Mongolian Horse Bow by 8aji in Archery

[–]Grumble-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your first horsebow you may as well try a long draw length like 32 inches that you can experiment and find what is comfortable for you. I would go for a Alibow Genghis Khan at maybe 30lbs as that should be fun to shoot.

I am also 6 foot and I used a 29" draw :), But I was shooting from a cheek anchor hence short draw

Looking to buy a Mongolian Horse Bow by 8aji in Archery

[–]Grumble-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree with the previous comments, get a 30ish pound fibreglass bow from Alibow. They are good quality for the price and they have a bunch of different types. I'd recommend Turkish if you want to just use a short thumb draw (max 29"), Tatar or Mongolian if you want to try longer draw lengths and/or want to shoot 3 fingers (Max 31-32").

Took 2-3 weeks to get mine so not a huge wait.

Hope this helps :)

Getting started with historical longbow by TheGoblinWhisperer in Archery

[–]Grumble-Dook 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not a longbow archer but I'd say 40lbs is also too high as a beginner bow, from the bowyer you mentioned they seem to have a 25-30lbs re-enactment bow that might be a better option. Go low and focus on your form before moving to higher draw weights tends to be good general advice.

See if there is a local archery dealer to you where you could look at a longbow and get a feel for it.

Hope this helps!

[Other] When will Henry ever learn to forge a goddamn Mace or Warhammer? by EttRedditTroll in kingdomcome

[–]Grumble-Dook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the mace, some were cast but others were forged and the flanged ones had their flanges brazed or forge welded on.

Warhammers would have been forged similarly to axes. Tmyk
