I can understand when they banned the pistol sized crossbows that they used to sell. They were easily concealed in a bag and could be used in a hold-up (I think some were).
There are some new compound bows on Ebay that go from 20lbs up to 55lbs (or more), though one always has to get the specs, as I've noticed that often the lowest draw weight is associated with a lower draw length.
There is another possible reason for the disappearance of the foxes. We were worried that they would do our new rag-doll cat in, so we kept her indoors till around 10am or later, by when the foxes usually stopped walking around. But a couple of months ago, during a full moon, the cat wouldn't come in. It was late at night when I saw the most amazing sight - our white, gentle rag-doll was chasing a terrified fox around our backyard!
Now we let her out much earlier.
Cheers,

Hi Renato,
Unfortunately, my wrists problem won't ever be fully resolved. The left wrist was badly smashed and was just wired back together and the right wrist was fractured and plated. It took a number of operation, much physio and time, but I do have full use of my wrists though. The wrists weren't the only thing that was pinned or plated though.
I had a serious motorcycle accident from which it took almost 15 years to recover.
I do have full use of the wrists, apart from being able to do such things as archery, partially because of the now inherent weakness and because of the nerve damage, resulting in a slight shake. Unfortunately, due to this and other injuries received, archery isn't the only thing I had to give up, but hey, I'm alive!
I do miss archery though.
It doesn't surprise me that your cat chased the fox, as they are very skittish animals. There are examples of that on youtube. Cats are fearless.
Cheers Pete
