yea im not sure wether its 30lb at his draw, or 34...in any case, yes you wil be more than able to take foxes at 15-20m...most of the american indian bows were no greater than 30lb and they took down buffalo (admittedly at close range of horse back!) but it comes down to accuracy. if you have proper...

hahaha you larakins!! love it! golden mate.

i found the BEST way to learn how to focus on that point is to shoot in the dark. set up a oversized target board that will stop arrows and in the middle put a small glow stick. they can be bought from fishing shops for like 50c or something. i used to crack them then cut the end and draw a 1" ...

am i correct in saying that the darker woods make better bows??? seem to remember reading it somewhere once. something to do with fibre density or structure making the pigmentation discolour. anyone know if what im blabbing is true??

Jake

cheers mate. the reason im looking at this (as ive already told glenn) im planning a BIG trip soon which includes canada with possibilities of NZ, greenland and alaska. glenn and i are sussing out a good setup as he recomended that a higher poundage wouldnt nesesarily be the best thing for me. i wan...

cheers ben. the reason i wanted a recurve is coz i do alot of hiking and wanted something VERY trad (counts out takedown) that wasnt too long to sit alongside the quiver on my pack. but thanks for the offer and if i cant find someone, il certainly drop you a PM. cheers buddy Jake (PS: i do eat 8 wee...

thats a very generous offer Buford. my natural instinct is i dont feel comfortable taking charity...if that makes sense, no offense mate, i understand absolutely and would do the same thing as you in the circumstances, but the only way i would take the bow off your hands is if i paid a reasonable pr...

hey guys, just a tiny slim hope here. just had me car broken into this arvo and over 1 grand worth of gear flogged, including my new baby, the 6 week old barely used Samick Woodsman worth $450. along with that was 3 Redline arrows @ $10 each (brown shafts, red nocks, and 2 yellow 1 red vanes on them...

did yas hear about the cocky just north of here??? he walked outside and a raindrop landed on his nose. He fainted!!!!! yep, they had to throw three buckets of dust in his face to bring him round...

TEX you hit the nail on the head EVERY post. i 100% agree with you on society breeding weaklings. I know a couple of GREENIES and they are VERY different from each other. one is out there protesting ALL the time and the other takes a bulldozer to the scrub to clear a fence line. the difference is th...

Jake

hahaha, yes i know what you mean jape, but my kookaburras were the other 5 kids in the family. we had a rule for every meal. only one knee on the table at a time, to ensure every one could make it to the food in the middle of the table and get a fair share . great photo mate.

Jake
