Ozbow

American "goats" are not "true" goats/ The Rocky Mountain Goat, which lives very high in mountain ranges in the West, from as far South as Colorado (maybe into Arizona) is not a goat, but more related to the Chamois from Europe, and the Goral. The Proghorn Antelope, nicknamed &qu...

Ed, I hoped that it would come across that I believe that the bows were as strong as was reported by the people that were there at the time. Not by some modern writer, TV producer who thinks that stuff in the past wasn't as it was. When I see something on TV about history, I did out my 65 year old c...

I lurk here for the US, but the subject of the longbow in war is a fond subject for me. In college I had a history professor that was a bit of a maverick in 20th interpretation of events of the past. Current interpretation as evidenced by the shows on TV over the past few years that said that longbo...

Fine looking goats Pedro! Now I actually remember buying at a news dealer several issues of Australian Bowhunter and found it to be extremely interesting, even though it was not exclusively traditional. You see for an American, Oz is a quite exotic place, and one that many American bowhunters would ...

Greetings: I was wondering if there are any Australian Traditional Archery Magazines? I believe that there was one some years ago, but is now defunct? Has one grown up to replace it? Yes, here in the US we have Traditional Bowhunter, but it comes out but six times per year, we have the other "m...

Erron (and other experts)" I love your site, Erron, we Adams do good things (at least you have) logging in regularly from both home and my work computer (shhh, don't tell anyone, I still get my work done) and find it a treasure trove of information, sometimes different from that on sites such a...

I can't believe that I didn't think of it, I gave this to my oldest son for his woods knife/tool. [/img]http://www.camillusknives.com/bkt/bk1.shtml#knife[img] It is a Becker Brute. The suggested list price is high for the US, BTW. Iy has kukri features, axe feature, machete features and has a big to...

Just thought I'd interject something about carying 'hawks. Most of the time the reports were that tomahawks were carried unsheathed in the belt, being available when needed. In modern times, tomahawks are considered to primarily camp tools. Remember the tomahawk was kinda of a product of being in a ...

Buzz: Yeah, the concept is new to me as well. I was lead over to the site by referral to help a bud figure out what in the heck they were talking about. The info over there IS a bit overwhelming. I haven't owned a compound in what, 12 years so I don't really know much about what fits what. If you re...

Mick: The Warf bow is an interesting development, an expansion of an idea that has been around as long as compounds have been made with the latest and greatest from year to year. What it is it? It is a combination of an old compound riser with limbs, primarily with FITA style limbs. What you get is ...

To my friendn Australia: I am a frequent lurker here on Ozbow, as I am a fanatic for information, and often times I get a view of things that allow me a differnent approch on a problem. So I'll interject an American thought or two on your thread concerning tomahawks. I have a real affinity for 'hawk...

I'll go ahead and post as well. My current gig is as a water and sewer utilites manager. Before that I was in the broad ranging field of Public Works - which sometimes encompasses water and sewer. Been doing it for about 20 years, pretty good job, pay is not too bad or too good. Biggest problme is t...

Yeah, sometimes I get ribbed but not too bad. Lately his is getting less and less good press,. Also I don't smile nearly as much as he does. You know, it would be nice, however to travel all ove the place getting paid to do what you want to do - but then it becomes a business. As to helping me as to...

And based upon happened yesterday, the Panthers will be going to the NFC Champi...

Greetings from a frequent looker, from North Carolina, USA. I have a question about an Australian camping product. THis is the Roman brand sleeping bags, specifically the ultralight Palm models. Their website shows them being the lightest and smallest (packed) sleeping bag in the world. Right now, I...
