For those who will like to camp we are going to open the practice butts on the Saturday and we will have novelty shoots as well. Should be a great, relaxing day on the Saturday in preparation for the big day on Sunday. DSC_0048 small.jpg Happy Archer. DSC_0041 small.jpg More Happy Archers Come and j...

Lilydale bowmen are holding a 3D challenge on the 10th of July! Due to the fact we did not have our Australia Day weekend LB100 we are opening our range for 2 days. On the Saturday we are opening our club for social event and camping. For those who camp or come for the Saturday night, we offer a fre...

I am getting images of seeing one mounted at our club amongst the other trophies.
Sambar, Asiatic pig, Fox, Field mouse??

Here are 2 who were moved on to the next world without any fuss. Hunting these little critters was a real challenge. 4.30 am I heard scratching at my tent. The previous day was full of screams and squeals from the ladies at our camp ground who woke with the uneasy feeling of something in their sleep...

Good choice of bows!

I have a Howard Hill Big 5 that was made for a mate but found too heavy. So I helped him out by buying it!
It was not his intention to sell it but I found it easier to part with the money than I did to part with the bow

(Thanks Dennis just love this bow.)

Cheers

Hello Troy, I agree that keeping to the same gear is an important step to consistent results. But who can resist a new bow??? When a comp is coming up it takes all of my willpower to keep to the one bow :oops: When I read the preceding posts, I analysed my own anchor point. I anchor to the corner of...

Hello all, Just letting you know that we are running a 3D club event at Lilydale bowmen - Pavitt Lane, The Basin next Sunday 10th April. I know it is short notice but due to the overwhelming success of our club ABA shoot this weekend, (60 competitors from Lilydale and other clubs,) we open our doors...

How it going Jesse. I have a friend that I have made in Finland and shoots with Falco. He goes by the handle of trophybow1 on youtube. If you send him an email through youtube he will happily let you know how well these bows shoot. Marko can shoot the wings off a fly using his Flaco so you can be as...

Great to hear you will take it out of the box some time Tony
If you get cold feet you can use my riser with the new aftermarket limbs
I only bring the bear out on special occasions now but seeing your new bow has encouraged me to take it of mothballs.

Congratulations Tony.
Awesome investment. These bows really are the ultimate.
What a beautiful specimen!

Sold

Probably a bit rough on the council as the condition in the shire is the same with many trees needing attendance. We are hoping that it is sort quickly as you can imagine...

I am sorry to inform you all that the Australia Day shoot at lilydale has been cancelled due to the condition of the course. Due to significant rain, the grounds have become overgrown and the trees unstable. We have had some concerns with the number of trees that have fallen and we had hoped to have...

Hi Trish, can you send me a link? I would happily add it to the calendar.

Hi Tony, Have you got some details
I would be happy to give him a call to see if he is interested.

Well we have finally come up with the format for the LB100! The draw card for the original LB100 was the fact you got to shoot 100 targets over the 2 days. To do this and still conform with the ABA (Australian Bow-hunting Association) rules, we are going to shoot a standard 2 day 3D round with an ad...

Very sad to hear this Tim. You have been a great member of this sport and I have alway enjoyed your company and friendship. I understand you have had a hard time with the chest etc. and hope that some day you will be able to come back to us. After a bit of rest who knows! I wish you all the very bes...

No problems.
We will be happy to promote Steve for you.
If you have any crafters who may be interested to have a stall at the Aust. Day weekend shoot let me know and we will promote their stall as well.
Cheers

Lilydale bowmen are holding a 2 day event which will include: 3D and paper targets Novelty Shoots Craft exhibitions Flemish string making workshop Bow making workshops Advanced archery skills workshop held by a special quest. (To be announced soon!) Trade blanket stalls etc. It will be open to all c...

The subject of what we call our method of shooting always causes discussions on the definition of terms. I learnt to shoot a slingshot as a kid because I have an innate desire to hunt. The choice of weapon has not changed much slingshot or bow much the same to me. Today I still hunt with both and kn...

I am still hosting the calendar and would be happy to enter all of the events as they are made available. I found last year being crook and all it was a bit hard keeping up. This year all is good and will give anyone access to allow them to edit the calendar for their respective clubs. Cheers Stephe...

Been an ABA member for a number of years off and on.
Find the administration a bit better these days.
Cheers

That's about it Bob. Everyone who wants to put the time in will get good at it. I like the idea of passing on info and letting people make up their own minds about what is right for them. To say that your way is the only "right way" is a bit much for me. I must say...I love the whole bow a...

When shooting with the sights I have the bow as vertically aligned as possible. The sight will tell you very quickly if the arrows are under or over spined. The problem with shooting barebow is that you will compensate for a poorly tuned setup as your subconscious is looking for a positive result. T...

Good quote Graham.
Going back to a recurve, I started using a sight as a tuning aid. I found that if the bow shoots straight and consistent with a sight, the job of shooting barebow becomes a whole lot easier.
Cheers

Practice is the key. Blank bale shooting works well for fixing form issues and target panic. Follow a simple shoot routine. 1. knock an arrow 2. raise your bow arm to target 3. draw to anchor (steps 2 and 3 can be done together, your choice) 4. follow through Releasing should not be part of your rou...
