I didn't know him as well as some of you but he was a good bloke. Sad loss.

'bout time you joined Darryl. See you at easter.

Thanks, Stace, I missed that bit . Silver wood doesn't help much anyway, as I hadn't heard of it in any case. I think there is another thread on here somewhere on arrow woods. Think I'll do a search.....

Nothing like a nice set of finely crafted arrows. Quite enjoy making them as well. Next step to go the whole hog from scratch. What timber are the shafts made from?

BillB, at last contact, we are picking up Rob from Glad airport @ 1310 on Friday.

The map is on page 2 of the flier(back in about the 8th post of this thread), but when you get approx 500km's north of Brisvegas, you will come to a place called Benaraby with a longish bridge crossing the Boyne River. Immediately after the bridge, on the right is a Caltex Service Station and on the...

Don't have to be a member of ABA,3DAAA or anything else. Doesn't matter if you are either. It is an open invitation shoot. The club has independant insurance.

I have found the good quality commercial rubber ones are quite good and last well. There is a cheaper one which knots up and looks like crap as well as becoming reduced in effectiveness. However, one of the blokes up here keeps his old dacron strings when they break and cuts them into small pieces a...

Longbow & Recurve Muster - Gladstone Well, here it is finally. Sorry about the delay. It is done in msword, so, if you can't open it, I can send it in another form or post you a hard copy or whatever. You can email or post your nom back. send me pm or email with your address if you want hard co...

Just about finished the fliers for shoot. It is on 11,12,13 june. Will post on this site and you can download and print them and post back or email us with your entry. If you have been before, and we've got your address, you should get one in the snail mail probably next week or early following week...

Kelvin, some of us here in Gladstone have talked about trying to get over if we can, so some more details early on would probably be very useful in helping decide. It was really good this year having Bruce and Amber again as well as Eddie, Jim, Caroline and Terry and we really appreciate that they m...

I'm sure you'll think of something raindog

I think there are a few going to try to get up. You know, last chance at the range and all but I'm not sure how many. There's a few heading off on hunting trips as well in the next weeks as well so it might be a case of juggling finances to do both and shoots usually come second. Anyway, I think I'l...

Catch ya when ya get back Bilby, have a good time

hmmmm, don't remember registering a mr M.Metallica, but perhaps he was there and registered under a psuedonym...............D

Just a reminder that there is only about 3 weeks to go. If you are coming, could you please pre-nominate to help with planning etc. If you don't want to fill out the form just email details including if you requiring catering to muster2004@dodo.com.au Hope to see you here
Cheers
David

Same this way, Sue. Hope you can make it, but more importantly that Steve gets better. I also know some of what you are going through as my wife has had chronic back problems for years as well. It's not easy and a lot of the time there isn't much that can be done except manage the pain. Hopefully th...

Good show cashy, you'll be getting mine soon also. And congrats also to you and Suz on arrival of bubs....... now the fun begins ..... lol.
Cheers
David

Thanks 'ol buddy. There's some good info there........ in fact, as per the other thread, some quite good reading on lots of topics on TG. I've clocked up a good couple of hours there since Erron brought it to our attention, although I hadn't happened upon that one yet.
Cheers
David

Thanks chaps. I only want them for the bow bird novelty event at trad shoots, so they wont get used very often. In which case I might go for the 6 fletch with all lairy colours, as it wont really matter if it takes me a bit longer to make them. I might make some the other way as well and see how muc...

Well how about it folks, someone must have an opinion or some advice ........ gots to be makin' me a set of flu flu's for next time, though, me thinks. I had a quick search for posts on making flu flu's but there doesn't seem to be one on here. There was a variety of 3,4 or more fletch types plus so...

What a great weekend. First time I've been to North Albert, but won't be the last, I hope. Beaut course and good company........ gots to be makin' me a set of flu flu's for next time, though, me thinks. I had a quick search for posts on making flu flu's but there doesn't seem to be one on here. Ther...

Must admit that I thought the original page looked pretty good and I hadn't noticed anything at first with the new one, but as per the other guys, the picture doesn't change but the task bar says opening next picture in 2 secs and counts up to 4 then starts again?? Also using XP and IE6

Cheers
David

Sue, tried to email for info but got undeliverable message??? Do we have to nominate or just turn up, and how much for non 3DAAA? must be something wrong with my mail server. Some work, others dont? I tried to send you one about the muster weeks ago and it didn't work either.
Thanks
David

Yes it can be a problem finding suitable weekends. The muster used to be on a 'normal' weekend later in the year but we grabbed the opportunity to move to this one to allow more travelling time. Most people only have to chuck a sickie :wink: ( I mean, take a day's holiday :D ) on the friday or leave...

Thanks mate. It is a good weekend. As much a gathering of the clan as anything and an excuse for fun and frivolity ( aren't they all ). And I'll be watching with interest as Glenn turns a stick into a bow. I was even thinking of making a new set of arrow's to enter in the fletching comp. I was infor...

Hello traditional archers, if anyone is interested in coming to Gladstone on Queens birthday weekend for the Longbow and recurve muster, I have attempted to attach a flier. It is in Word format. If it doesn't work or you can't open it, fire us an email - muster2004@dodo.com.au We are sending fliers ...
