G'day
'Nature Philosophy' is something to have a look at.
I think i'll be following it up.


Cheers, wolfgang

nice knives! On the first picture the small chain in the background caught my atention. When we were travelling in WA we stopped about 200kms north of Newman and I found a chain exactly the same in a almost cave-like rock ledge! It's exactly the same as the one in the picture and about half a meter ...

That 'Bear' guy is a real show pony. I was at first looking forward to the show but soon decided that I'd rather see the snakes eat HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In one episode he found a spring in the middle of the desert and ate a frog he found there. It was probably one of the two frogs that live there ...

Those sandflies are real pains! when we were up at Barred creek camping, a bit of a drive north-East of Derby, we got absalutely swamped by them! :shock
Looks like a promising area from those wollows! Just one question... WHERE ARE THE PIGS!!!!
Better luck next time...

Cheers, Wolfgang

Hello 'Dragon'...
You said that you were going to have a go at leather working and it looks like you have learnt it really well!
I'll see you at the next shoot we just happen to be at....

Cheers, Wolfgang
P.S. I like your quote at the bottom... shows how complicated it all is!

Congratulations mate!
I love the shape, woods, length... Ok just the bow in general!
In particular I like the look of the riser head-on, with the wavy looking wood.
Great work and hope you get many hours of enjoyment out of it.

Cheers, Wolfgang

WOW!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: Thats incredible! Thankyou Gav for posting these amazing pictures. I have made a few arrows using in the traditional to primitave styles but they were hard enough and only one-offs! I think even people who have no knowledge in the field of archery would have to allow...

sounds like you had an awesome time!
The rain sure changes your surroundings in the bush!
Good to get out there...

Cheers, Wolfgang

Sounds like a top fish!
Good fishing mate.

Cheers, Wolfgang

Thanks everyone.
that has really shed a lot of light. I'll be able to work it out from here.
Once again, thanks for your help.

Cheers, Wolfgang

in my eyes, if you get to keep it it doesn't matter what bloods it!!!!
beautifull bow. You have a good friend!

Cheers, Wolfgang

No, we didn't see any foxes but Rod said that there are usually a few and on one visit to the property Jefeory, Rod's son shot one in the back of the head with his compound bow. The fox ran past him at 7 meters and Jefeory shot instinctivly even though he had sights on his bow. Roscoe, I sent you a ...

we are very glad that Rod is so kind to have so much time to take us on hunts and to shoots.
we are very lucky to have such a precious friend like Rod is!
Those knew properties are sounding pretty good... it will be great to see you for the Donald shoot.

Cheers, Wolfgang

I think 25# to 30# with some sharp broadheads will do the job very well. With that setup you'll be fine.
so with your knew bow I hope you get a few bunnies and have fun while doing it!

Cheers, Wolfgang

thank you. I had a look at abbey archery and I am still not sure about their sizes as I am not very familliar with 'grains' could someone please help me to understand how grains are compared with grams and how to convert it... :shock: Blu dog, I would be happy to have second hand shafts... they're s...

just wondering if anyone would know where I could get some gamegatter shafts. I had seven 2016 shafts and am in need of some more... :oops: I have found they shoot really well from my bow and would like to 'stock up'... if you know what I mean :D any ideas of where to source would be greatly appreci...

no sorry mate. didn't take any photos.
I just have to go do some more hunting so i have something to take photos of...

Went out with Rod Macdonald on Sunday to an amazing property he has access to. Literally ALIVE with rabbits! :shock: We went on sunday arvo and had an absalute ball! 8) we stopped in at the house to say g'day to the owner and we headed off down the paddock for a few hours... as we walked into the fi...

Nice photos mate.
bet you had a ripper of a time! Chital are definately on my 'have a crack' list...
Those memories won't dissapear from your head for a long time!

Cheers, Wolfgang

I think a 40# bow shooting well matched arrows and shaving sharp broad heads would do the job on a goat. But Like the others, it's best to have atleast 45# just to be safe. But like everything, it all depends...

Cheers, Wolfgang

Sounds like a great experience mate!
I'm with the others, any photos to share?
Chital are beautiful deer! but very elusive!
Cheers, Wolfgang

Good shot! 20 meters is fair distance!
good shootin Woodie!

HELL
Thats one hell of an achievment!!! Good work. Isn't it great when you plan something like that and it all works out!
You got some good tucker there that should last you a while!

Cheers, Wolfgang

Sounds like whistling is the way to go! 8) My sister said she had seen a few foxes in the paddock so I might be bussy... Thanks for setting up the range at your house yesterday Rod, It was avery enjoyable time indeed! :) Any way, I'll see some of you this weekend in Lilydale, should be great fun. Ch...

Thanks everyone! It really means a lot when your're encouraged like this! :D After the monthly Donald shoot Rod Mac and I went out to the farm where our horses are. I must have shaken the monkey off my back because I shot another one! I got him in the neck but he made it into the thick stuff never t...

Good hunting Clint!
Looks like your setting your eye on the big stuff.
Good hunt and nice story.

Cheers, Wolfgang

So here it is... finally! :shock: my first rabbit. After many hours and the ever so present thaught of: 'it seems so easy for those other guys!' the ever eluding bunny was busted! :mrgreen: One arrow from my 52# @ 28" checkmate TD recurve put the worlds biggest smile on MY face! :lol: And along...

Nice way of presenting a first!
still yet to shoot something to remember!
And what is a router?... I'm still learning things!

Yeah... a lot of time!
