They are starting to talk in SEQ.
The Mrs is having a great time stirring them up every night at home.

Congratulations Muz. Some real good hogs there big fella.
It was great to catch up, and we're wrapped it panned out for you out there mate.
It's a great place to go for a bit of a wander around.

Realy looking forward to the next round of pics.

Thanks for the kind words all. sorry but you've used up all your good luck for next month, (maybe quite a bit longer than that!) on getting cheap access to the banteng Clinton, maybe I can buy some luck back by "sharing the love"(I need some more yet as we are planning Central Arnhem Land ...

Well the wife and I have just had one of the best month’s bow hunting imaginable. The start of the month saw us arrive at Toomba Station to have a go at some of the pigs and chital that makes this place famous (and rightly so). If you have ever considered doing a paid hunt, this is the place. The am...

Quite a collection of bows to tell the truth. I mostly play with a Gringa 65@ 28, and the Norseman 60# @ 28. Both Howard Hill style bows. 31 inch draw. ( there's 9 other longbows if I feel like a change )

The only tools you need are a hand plane, sand paper, and a drill speeds up the process. I start with an 11 mm square timber blank ( mainly oregan), plane the 4 edges, then plane the 8 edges your left with. Stick the shaft in your drill, and spin it through your sand paper. A word of advice, heat ca...

Thanks for posting the pics Nutgrass. As always, Karen (Rabbits) and I had a ball knocking around with the Bundy crew. Sadly, that will be the last Gringa adventure for us till we can talk you guys into coming up to visit us in Darwin. I'm sure the NT wouldn't mind some upstanding gentlemen such as ...

Dennis Careful about the backyard practice thing. Very few of us DON'T do it and statistically insignificant few of us bring any harm to others from it. I didn't mention it, I do practice in the back yard myself. Like you, I also am very aware of the potential of a bow and arrow and take the necessa...

Granted it was a wheelie bow, but bad news for archers all. I would imagine it won't take a whole lot more to make licensing and regulation a reality.

Bent Stick, my hubby John Valery and I have just got back from our road trip to the Northern Territory. What a trip of firsts for me. In the weeks hunting and fishing, I managed my first Barra, and first pigs. The boys didn’t do too badly either. We checked out a couple of new hunting properties tha...

Yeah Gidget, gotta watch the cattle. Gringa has gone international and managed a second place and I'm having a ball with the big girl :shock: . The "Minister of war and finance" took out first place in her division so I can't crow to loud. Maybe the "no rabbits" thing did help. I...

Well the Mrs and I made it back from the 9th annual “Open Field Archery Championships” on Norfolk Island on Sunday. For anyone that hasn’t been to a shoot on Norfolk, you’re missing probably the best laid out 3D shoot we’ve ever been to. Granted it’s not a ââ...

Please see the new post at "AAHOF Shoot At Gladstone"
Cheers

The Gladstone Bowhunters in association with the Australian Archery Hall of Fame and Museum will be hosting the next round of the Bill Baker Memorial “Legends of Traditional” shield. The shoot will take place at the Gladstone Bowhunters grounds on the 9th and 10th of October. We will be ...

Well it's all over for another year now. On behalf of the Gladstone Bowhunters I would like to thank everyone who came to support the Muster and made it such a great weekend. With 161 nominations it was the biggest shoot we have held to date and I hope that everyone who attended enjoyed the weekend ...

It's almost upon us now. I was out the club last night and there are quite a few camps set up already. Weather is supposed to be cool and dry (very un-muster like). Looking forward to catching up with everyone again. Shaping up to a really good shoot.

Certainly getting close now guys and girls. Pre-nominations have just ticked over the 100 mark, so if we get the normal few nominating on the day, it should turn into a pretty fair shoot. Everything at the club is all set to go, the new renovations have come up a treat, we just need a few bodies to ...

The finishing touches are going on this weekend. It will be a pretty friendly sort of range, and would expect some interesting photo's to come back in once it's been shot. It's a big job getting it all together, but it's all coming together and we're really looking forward to catching up with everyo...

It's overcast but dry at the moment big Rod. A little bit right now wouldn't be too bad to put the green tinge back on everything again though............Getting close now Big Fella

A quick update...... The range is all set, the nominations are rolling in and the weather should be comfortable. Should be a great time. Really looking forward to catching up with everyone again. 19 days till we kick off muster number 12.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Denise and family. Les will be missed at the muster this year.

Looking good Upthetop. I like the Douglas Firs and use them myself. Looking forward to catching up mate.

Sorry Rod/Outbackdad, I've been slack and haven't checked the post in a bit. As to your question of how to categorise this bow, :roll: Ummmm not really sure, but I'm going to follow the young fella on the range, cause he'll certainly clear all the spider webs I reckon. :D .........................We...

muntries, I like to pull through my release, and all though it works very well when it's all going well, for me, it requires lots of practice. The way I do this is to go through my normal shot routine up until I reach my anchor point, then I close my eyes and think of nothing but my release. That wa...

Daryl, we're more a fun shoot so we try not to critique the bows too much. A recurves a recurve, a longbows a longbow, and a self bows a self bow, simple as that. As to the draw weight, you can tell people its 60#, and I'll hide the bow scales mate. No problem..................

Hi big Rod. Yeah mate, It's looking pretty good now. Once we get on top of all the grass it'll be a bonus.

That's a sound theory Daryl. I think it would be even better if I used your best arrows though ........................There's nothing too scary out there. It should be a fun shoot

Must be an electrical glitch big Rod. My bathroom scales have a similar fault when I use them:roll:

Hi stickshooter, she's been giving me a touch up for a while now :roll: Not that I'll admit that too often in front of her. 8) Shipping on that particular bow was $200us and change + import duties (For anything you bring in over $1000 if you insure it) Import duties were around 350ish from memory. I...

Hi Ben, as you already know, they're well worth the wait. Wal, don't quote me, but I think the lead time is up around 9 or 10 months, though it may have changed since we ordered. Ben may have a better idea.......
