Boomslang-Al When Isaid I will follow, Ishould have I will help.unfortunitly I dont have the nouse or the ability to orginise such an undertaking, Ikind of know my limitations in such things,. As Mick Smith has said many hands make light work, and as for the idea of using this site as base for such ...

G day to all you out there I personaly would love to belong a club / association to deal with trad hunting . Dont get onto the putor often enough to keep up with most of the happenings, but this is some thing I belive should and must happen if bow hunting in general is to be continued in this countr...

Lou havent got back to you sooner but have been busy at work(I hate engenmaneers changing plans at the last minute!!!) any way our hose suppliers dont have any lay flat hose temp rated over 60 degrees (rated to 100psi but at max of 60c) if this is OK for what you need get back to me as they are will...

Lou reading about whot you are doing but never having attempted any thing like this I can see you deffinitly want to use a lay flat hose as Jeff uses it seems to me the pressure used to infate the hose would not be great & the tempreture not all that high. You can try an industrial hose suuplier...

Next bit of imffo for you arrow makers. A cheap supply of oregon (notice spelling ) .Some bloke was knocking down a house in my street, so I asked if I could have the old Oregon window sills his answer was go for it as he was only trashing tne place . went back later with a slab to say thanks , he a...

Thanks for the replies people. Seems the heavy beam that I cut my billets out of is the main culprit, ripped down a window sill that I was given and hey presto shafts stay staight when I pane them down , made 6 safts allready each one better than the last, next 6 should be really good as my skill wi...

I am in need of some help here .Have been trying to make my own shafts out of origon , ripped them down to 1/2 inch square and they are still quite staight but when Istart to plane them down the ends start to lift making them bowed. by the time I have planed them the ends lift about 1/8 inch off the...

WRC 555 yes the training wheel brigade out number us at least 10 to 1 but its quality not quantity that counts. All that aside it should be a great event . no bare bow recurve/longbow shoots over 30 yards ,realistic distances for most of us , and every 3DAAA event in Victoria has allways had at leas...

Iam not supprised to hear this kind of statment coming from a club. from the clubs I have visited very few of their top shooters (the ones begginers look to for advice) think of any bow other than compound or oylimpic recure are just for novilty use. At my club in MELB any one interested in shooting...

PS I hate you ,you lucky bugger work stops me from getting out hunting to offten. :cry: :cry: :cry: Best of luck & hap...

Gday , dont realy care whot the front page is ,how fast or slow it is I just like this site ,think its great pity more of us knucle braging trad shooters, havent found it yet! But dont you worry I will keep chequeing on it , I am like a bad smell I just wont go away!!!

Agree Ricko the goverment (state federal) could put a blanket on all hunting but I personaly can not see that happening while they can gain revenue via taxes on hunying equiptment (bows.arrows guns ammo ,etc) plus fees for hunting permits.Ibelive we will be able to hunt public land whilst goverments...

Many land holders see deer ,foxes ,pigs any game animail as a pest/ competor, for food (all anials have to eat). Just look at how many stations up north cater to hunting for$s they must make thier properties economicaly sound or they go under .so if a deer eats the same amount of grass as a cow and ...
