Re: Had enough of Gillard and the rest?

One for the religious environmentalists.
For the record I'm agnostic on the subject, my jury is still out.

Had this sent to me, I found it funny.
The environmental extremists may find it sacrilegious though.

The twist is we normally shoot 1 arrow, for the Trad event it will be up to two allowed, however...... It will be your last a...

Re: loose nocks

Dental floss is annoying for me. Another way to fix the problem is to heat your nocks in hot water, as long as they're plastic, and squeeze the throat together till it's a good fit. I have seen this debated before. You must be good, as I would think that its unlikely that every nock would be consis...

Re: 3D Trad Event Lilydale Bowmen

There are going to be some divisions.

Others can be more precise but I think its something like, longbow, recurve and primative?
Is the last one a reference to the equipment or the archer, I'm not sure? lol.

See you there, with my woods Tony!

You boys shot extremely well, no doubt about it. The top compound shooters did score around the 760/770 mark, the halfway crowd, thats modern gear with fingers were outperformed by the Trad gang for sure! Perhaps they should take the wheels off!

That is why it is frowned upon, nothing to do with your stopping distance, but the lack of control with a locked wheel. Thanks Dewi.
