Re: Wanting info on selfbow boywers in australia

Hi, I was going to suggest Nick Lintern (Norseman) but looks like you already have, has he got back to you yet? I know he is away at the moment.

Re: New 128lb War Bow getting a workout.

Beautiful bow Andy, I saw it a few times during the build, yew bows have a character for sure, mine is full of odd bumps but shoots beautifully, Nick made that one too!

Re: REALLY BIG Warbow!!

That's a shame about the gathering, it is a heap of fun but not so good when you have to try to pull an arrow out of a 3D target that has been put there by a 100lb + warbow!

Re: October Long Weekend Charity Shoot

To be fair, it was announced over the loudspeaker several times on Sunday that the deadline was at 2pm, there was even a 15 min warning. It was all gone over at the Muster on Saturday morning. At the end of the day there has got to be a cut off time to be fair to everyone. I hope you enjoyed the sho...

Re: Spliced Yew Elb"s (selfbows)

Beautiful looking bow!

I have a soft spot for Yew bows, I have one that Nick Lintern made for me from a stave brought over from the states, but I have not shot it at all this year, too much to do at work and lower back problems have stuffed up my shooting time.

Re: Brigalow as a longbow timber...maybe not

I would recommend Dave at Medicine bow woods, we got some Pacific Yew staves from him, they were all debarked (must be done for customs) and well wrapped.

Only took a week from payment to delivery by courier.

Re: Advice on a little bow for the better half

I agree about the left handed bow, I shoot left handed as I am left eye dominant but I am right handed, it's always more important to pick according to the eye rather than the hand.

It feels so wrong picking up a bow right handed now! :lol:
