Re: Bow customers beware

I'll bring this back to the top of the page, not to whinge but to back up the original sentiment. I ordered a Bigfoot bow which was 4 months late arriving. A few months later the timber shrank and cracked all the glue lines. The advice from the bowyer was to fill them up with superglue and sand it b...

Re: big foot bows for sale

Still for sale. Need a left hand ilf riser and I don't think the wife will appreciate a collection of unused bows sitting in the shed.

kids recurve Sold

Well I suppose this happens a bit. Bought it for my 10 year old ( please Dad, please ) 20 shots later, not interested. I've had this sitting on the rack for 3 months collecting dust so it needs to go to someone that will use it and hopefully enjoy it. Cartel Sirius recurve, 48" long. Has 2 sets...

Re: ILF bows?

I found the shorter limbs, making a 58" bow, a little hard to tune for me to get good arrow flight. A lot of kicking to the left (left hand). Nothing wrong with the limbs but maybe my release? The medium limbs making a 60" feel smoother and, for me at least, give better flight. A longer ri...

Re: 10 years of annoying you people!

I've enjoyed reading your posts ( Bows for sale!! ) over the last 8 years that I've been lurking on Ozbow. The target panic info from you has been helpful for me in the respect that I realized there are other people out with it.

Re: bows for sale

This Brooks bow is 51#@28" but feels a bit lighter. I'm shooting 1916's cut to 28". I've guessed postage of about $25 but it's been a while(years) since I've posted a long package so if it cost much more we might have to come to an arrangement for extra postage.

2216 arrows SOLD

I have 13 unused 2216 eastons with vanes that I'll probably never use except for footings on GG 500's. To good to cut up so if anyone wants them $50 posted. They are only 27.5" long so unless you shoot 100lb or a kg up front they will only be good for a wheely bow.

Have a look at the POR15 paint range. They make a marine grade clear. I've used one of their products to seal petrol tanks, it's acid resistant, flexable and can be sprayed.
