Mick, I have just read the widowmaker post and now this one. I cant believe how much time some people devote to being argumentative....... :smile: Re, broadheads for wooden arrows, I personally tried this and the response in sales was so poor I would not do it again, with the benefit in hind sight. ...

Duncan, The reason I asked you the question, is that it matters very much which side of the feather is angled into.... to face the air flow. Every primary flight feather from a birds wing is an engineering marvel of millions of years of evolution. Each flight feather has a firm and a soft side....pu...

Duncan,
Looking down the arrow from back to front, which way should you angle left wing feathers ?

"Hey Guys I also forgot to mention we purchased some paint to do the outside of the house - in February !! and it's still sitting in the laundry, so anyone good at painting... does that tempt anyone ?............anyone !! "

You need a dipping system for houses

I cant help you with origin of these two examples except to say they are not ones of mine. The very early Outback Supremes were attached to the alloy ferrule by crimping down the nose of the alloy ferrule into a hole in the blade, similar to the Bear razorheads that had the blue and green alloy ferr...

Its a bit hard to work in around the ABA and other local shoots, this year we sort of got squeezed out of 2012. Thats why we got in very early for 2013. If possible we try for a date in November, I will talk about November 2013 out at bow club tomorrow and we will see if we can fit it in. Will let y...

This Dominique Thiriet woman reminds me a lot of my ex wifes divorce lawyer...............hates men and never lets the truth get in the way of a good story.

Ed, Good to hear your on the mend, I hope your recovery is swift and complete. thank you for all your ideas and help on broadhead design, and I hope to be able to pick your brain for many years to come, good hunting, Woody.

I was actually looking at him dragging arrows from between his fingers.

Dennis, I was was referring to this link

I suspect broadheads would slow this bloke down a bit

I would like to see that with broadheads on the arrows......lol

What style of broadhead was it, a 2 blade, 3 blade or 4 blade. A 2 blade, cut on contact style, will always have more penetration if any bones are hit. The angle of the blades also makes a big difference, a head 3 times as long as its wide ( 3:1 ratio ) is optimum as far as penetrating qualities goe...

Jacko, Maybe there is something in Binghams catalog you need for the timber riser, http://www.binghamprojects.com/Catalog.pdf I think the timber arrow only rule at Trad shoots is not a good thing. Back in the day, when I was a young bloke, timber arrows were about all there was, and quality POC were...

I'm looking for an old Black Bear or similar riser to do just that Grahame. There's a fella on Trad Talk forum offering ILF adapter plates to do these conversions for about $30 US. I have a 3/4 finished static recurve form that I plan to build the ILF limbs for that project. I also have started a t...

PLEASE ,, when you order a string ,, could you please give string length , Real Name and Address in ONE PM . As it is a pain the butt sending 2-3 pms getting ALL details . I am slightly over whelmed with orders at the moment and less time spent getting details , means more time making the strings an...

Otis,
That depends on the postman and your bank transfer.

They are in stock ready to go

Otis, No worries mate, I think a lot of people look at alloy ferrules with some suspicion The truth is, that the blade to ferrule attachment is a possible place for failure on many broadhead designs, and not just for alloy ferrule styles. The blade running down the ferrule's side slots in Outbacks h...

kim, i have had the same problem with a number of ribteks. they seem hard to start with but they bend easy and snap like chalk if you try to bend them back... i would like to try the outback traditionals, but don't relly like that they have an alloy/aluminium ferrule. anyone given them some use yet...

When I click the link I get an ad for Miroka shotguns.

Anyone else having this problem?

Dennis,
define the sort of pictures you need please.

Dennis, I too would like to see more emphasis given to correct animal anatomy on the ABA proficiency course The shot placement pictures in the ABA proficiency manual "could be better"............ The pig and buffaloe anatomy pictures are very inaccurate. I have mentioned this on the ABA fo...

Here is a link to a page on my web site about animal anatomy

One picture of a dead goat is graphic.

If you dont like the sight of blood don't go there.

Steve, I like slightly quartering away best and I aim so the arra will hit the off side front leg. The kill zone in real life can be quite a lot different to those shown on paper and 3D targets. Jeff Jeff, Quartering away is the best angle of attack, with out a doubt. Personally, how ever if I was ...

Many Thanks

Rod,
Its not written on stone, but I would expect around 10, maybe 10:30 am.

It will depend on circumstances on the day.

Heres a link to a map to Ballarats grounds, I hope this is helpful

Judo points are only fit for practice, and in my opinion dont have enough shock value to be any good as a small game hunting head. If you dont like losing wounded rabbits, dont use them. Broadheads work well, but is overkill for rabbits and expensive, as the loss/damage attrition rate on your arrows...
