Ozbow

First time I've had goat - it was delicious!!

I'm the very happy owner of this is a beautiful armguard and I can tell you that as well as looking good it also works really, really well!

Many thanks to Stringnstik - my arm is now bruise-less

Good on you Craig, well done!

It really is a nice bow, and I was surprised at how light it is compared to Bill's compounds and my recurve.
It will be a fair while before I can draw it more than about 20cms though

Great photos, thanks for sharing!

That is just stunning.

I am extremely jealous, I would really love to see the American North West - Yellowstone and the Colorado Rockies are very very high on my 'must visit' list

Very nice!

I did have a moment at your comment: only 54#. I have a very very long way to go to get anywhere near that

I've never been to Yaouk but it's supposed to be really beautiful. Pretty much surrounded by national parks. Heaps of native wildlife as well as good fishing and hunting! Oh, and snow

'When' we win lotto you're both welcome any time! LOL, I was just going to post that. I'm getting this week's lotto numbers from a ferret who appears to have been dumped in the bush, but made his way to the highway at the exact right moment to be seen - at night - by a passing motorist who just hap...

At that age, I reckon any quality time that they spend with you will be memorable :) The camping trip is a great idea. Are you handy? Perhaps you can work on a project together around the house, like building a cubby house or chook pen, or painting some walls - something they can show off and be pro...

I can't see youtube at the moment but I gather it shoots well... which is almost *just* a bonus given that it is such a fine piece of art in and of itself! Very very well done

(Off topic: is that an aussie shepherd in your avatar? Lovely dog!)

longclaw. people do refer to some of the pigs up here as saddlebacks so that is probably them. when you say 'old breed of pig' how old? is it still around? when would it have been introduced do you think/know? i have seen a lot of ginger pigs lately, but no adult 'saddlebacks'. there must be a snea...

a sow and her suckers not more than a week old, and about the size of a coke can came wondering my way. i stood up and behind the tree ready. they were gorgeous little things, black front and back and white through the middle (there is a cow variety similar but i can't recall the name). Belted gall...

Hey Coach, is that the Hunter armguard? Could you tell me roughly how long it is? I'm thinking of ordering one but I need pretty good coverage... got some noice bruises already

I love Coach's version too

Moreton, what you describe is a common issue on internet fora. http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/myl/llog/duty_calls.png Edit: Admittedly I'm new, but I actually think the discussions on these boards are generally quite civilised. You should see the carry-on that regularly occurs on dog enthusiast fo...

Thanks Jeff, I had a great time, definitely can't wait to shoot some more

Nice hunting, and well told

We're off to the Tuggeranong club tomorrow - can't wait! Supposed to be a beautiful day too

I think we need to see the picture that resulted in a blinded dog!

(and many happy returns for yesterday )

We were looking at these just a couple of days ago. Great to know that they are as good as they are supposed to be, thanks

I think I need that recipe too!

Scrub Bull your version of the rabbit with tomato and rosemary sounds delicious!

Longclaw, Marinated in a spicy chilli sauce and thrown quickly onto a hot BBQ is always a nice option but I am very partial to a red wine rabbit stew! Tony Which cuts of the bunny do you use Tony? Or do you split them in half, like Portuguese chicken? It sounds delicious, as does the red wine stew!...

I think you guys would be rolling on the floor watching the Lifestyle Food Channel right now :lol: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is taking a bunch of squeamish city folk who can't cook, and presented them with a brace of gutted bunnies. TOO funny watching them trying to skin them without actually touc...

Cool, could we see what it looks like braced? Yeah :roll: I got that much, i was pointing out how much reflex there was as i have never seen such a bow. I didn't :? well... that is what I thought from the initial post but then I just couldn't imagine it strung the opposite way to the bend. Thanks f...

I know I'm only new here so I probably shouldn't have a rant, but this is a topic that really gets up my nose. Re: 'so should we not have kids?' According to Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder and international president of PETA, no we shouldn't. "I am opposed to having children. Having a purebred huma...

Hey looseplucker, we don't have ferrets unfortunately but if we can arrange something I'll keep you posted

Sorry to revive a relatively old topic, but if anyone in the Canberra/Cooma NSW area is looking for a place to go ferreting, send me a PM! Good ferreters are worth their weight in gold I reckon, and a swiftly snapped neck is a much more humane death for the bunnies than the options offered by the ra...

if you accidently back over your hubbies bow, he might be convinced to buy a trad bow :) if he doesn't, he probably will, when you back over the next couple :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Hahahahaha! Thanks Hue, 4 times a week sounds good especially now the days are getting longer. Having fun is definitely th...

Billycart bow!

I think we're going to head up to Tuggeranong this Sunday. Lyneham sounds great but it adds another 1/2 hour to our trip each way. We'll definitely make the trip up there at some point though
