Cups shall be raised in your honour

*OK 1 down,another 198 to go hmmmm...

RE: Woods start - end Woods...

Thanks Elmo, I'll bring some carbons just in case.

catchya at the shoot

Hi All...just a Q regarding shafts :ahem: If I start the event with woods, and :cough: break them...can I use carbons to complete the event? *In the past 8 days I've split / broken / nock-busted and trashed all my best shafts during practice and I am now down to 6 with 3 I consider 'on the money' or...

Brother g'...try this link for an idea of whats required. You may be able to craft your own.

Now how many drinks do you owe me now

Thanks Stickbow...Ottis has reco'd picture manager to compress the images. Sounds good and I'll give it a whirl.

Hi All...I'm trying to upload some pics' of my LB, but by the time I reduce them to 200kb...you dont get the deal on whats happening...

So can anyone recommend a good FREE pic hosting site, that I can link to using the image button?

Many Thanks - mal.

Trad buddy...just got myself a quart of minwax, some 0000 grade steel wool and ready to start on them woods :D I'll still try to spine up some alloys / carbons etc...but for now - I just gotta loose dude :wink: Kevin gave some good advice - and I'm waiting for MikeDY to get around to fletching some ...

Ok Kevin - no worries.

Hi Kevin...thanks for the advice. I am a new comer, and my ego thankfully is only the size of any issues I encounter :read: If I dont know, I ask. Concerning the light 1916's and the weak point - that's exactly the thing I was thinking, but as stated, I didnt know so I asked :D Yes I know about plas...

Hi All... I have tried 2018's* and the redzone 50/70* carbons...but found my 1916's [30lb rec'] to be a better match. Will this hurt the bow? The 1916's are using 2 1/2 inch placcy' veins - they tend to wobble a fair bit on the way to the target, but they are more consistent and quiter than those ot...

I have to sincerely apologize. I cant make this shoot, as we have the GTB-ABA 2day event on the same weekend. 21/22nd November. Deepest regrets...but at least now I'll be able to make the Ballarat trad' shoot the week later. For whatever reason, I honestly thought the Clout shoot was on the same wee...

Hope this helps: http://www.jamesmhill.com/Spine_Tester.html

Hi there Amanda! Regarding the night entertainment...here's my 2 bob's worth: 1: Get torch boy to give us a light show. 2: Torch boy / Laughing Man to do a comedy skit. 3: Ray doing a fire dance. 4: You and Ray doing a 'walk me back to me tent' dance. 5: 5 hunters of the apocalypse being blokes! :) ...

Huzzah TonyJ :D Let's see who breaks more :oops: What ever the result - lets share some cups after the shoot :twisted: Arrows: I was at the ABA states' in Ballarat on the weekend, and our group captain dude was a gentleman named Mike Downy [Wyndham Rebels]...top bloke! Anyway, he was telling me abou...

Hi Amanda...perhaps drop the graphics [if any] in the PDF to cut down the KB's... Q?: Are you the Amanda at Ballarat on weekend? If so...I have a suggestion :sniggers: *I've sent 2 emails to the hotmail address and have had no replies yet. It may be our server dropping them to the junk box, but I ha...

Excellent! Thanks Tony...funny thing is, I'm an IT brute as well and I prefer emails LoL! Guess it has something to do with having a trail to follow in legal issues :( Used to work with an international insurance firm - you would not believe [perhaps] what some people try to do...and that's internal...

Huzzah...

Folks I've sent an email to Damian [lilydale@hotmail] re: LB100 but have not had a reply back yet. If anyone can help me with a confirmed contact email address, please PM me with the details?

Many Thanks in advance

*Email sent approx' 3 weeks :scratches head:

Those are some of the finest arrows I've seen [www. or otherwise]. I especially like the spacing on the fletching and also the target is a great and economical idea as well.

Well done Ben.

Thanks Gents' :) I was put onto 'minimax' as per Tradbounds' advice...spoke with an LB owner at Wyndham Rebels shoot today and he also reco'd minimax [bunnings supply=easy wallet :)]. I think I'll try that, as my first intended 'must have' tru-oil seems as rare as hens crowing at dawn [yeah I know I...

I'm in big time... Picked up my lami' Yew / glass' 75inch / 60lb LB from the PO today. Photos to follow soon [as soon as I find my battery charger for my camera]. I swear...trad' bows and arrows are a work of Art - and I intend to do a 'tradbound' and break as many arras' as I can LoL!!! *No offence...

Hue - got it! Its the rings around a staff / pole etc...

Like a target thats been laid on the ground.

I was confused because I've seen where they aim at shields - same same but different???

Excellent! Thanks Trad'...I'll be keeping an eye on this forum for the flyer / dates etc. Hopefully it wont clash with our club shoot on the first Sunday of the month at the 'Marsh'. If it does...thankfully Whitehawk Gav' has released details for the Clout shoot on the 21st of Nov' - so I'll be able...

wohoo! I'm in :) Cant wait to catch up with Dave' and his horse bow that he shoots off the chest :) How he manages to hit anything is beyond me, but his kung fu was very good on the last day...especially the last round. Hopefully Steve [Holland?] will be there as well. Shot with these 2 [and John th...

Hey hey Trad'... All I can say is that I've commited already to Ballarat. But then again - my wife is on the cusp of trying archery again [last time high school] and doing an introductery course [BMB], and furthermore, is also up for camping at Ballarat - so hopefully the next shoot, you may have 2 ...

LoL Hue...considering JFruitcake has no avatar and I'm not sure if I've met him yet....I'll just call him Sir

The Mal' of War states: Keep boot laces tight...flight is sometimes better than fight

Twang the string...I would've loved to attend, but have the ABA H-division States the same weekend at Ballarat.

DoH!

Many Thanks Amanda...as always it seems - Lilydale clubbers are on top of their game.

If anyone knows Greg Femmlers email [or forum name]address please PM me? I have a leather 'thing' that i'd like Gregs opinion on...I was very impressed by Gregs quiver [self designed I believe]. I shot with Greg during the 2day at Bachuss Marsh july? I was hoping to catch up with Greg on the weekend...

Thanks Amanda and Lilydale clubbers...! My first 3D shoot and I want more please I had a ball and though only 29km's away...I regret not camping overnight. Many new friendships gained - and much 'lore' learned.

Great food, course, spirit...well done.
