I got one at the Adelaide knife show a few years ago mate. solid as i love it. it came with a plain but sturdy sheath as well. takes a while to get sharp but stays sharp.
i'm sure you'll get plenty of use out of yours without any dramas.

I'd like to share some photos I was lucky enough to capture whilst working as a tour guide in the NT. hope ya like em

i used to shoot at adelaide archery club a few years ago and have one of joes bows.
its an absolute ripper and he was a top bloke to deal with.
its good to see hes still making bows

i purchased a leather man wave the new version off ebay last year. at the time they were retailing in a shop here in adelaide for approx $280. i got mine for $150 including postage. i thought that was a good bargain.
cheers russ

thanks yeoman nah no on will mind my family still owns the block but they are going to sell it soon i'll go down and see if i can get any decent staves off it. its about twenty years old it should have something to offer. has anyone ever eaten a persimmon me and my mum are the only ones in the entir...

hey fellas i havent posted on here for a while but i've still been round the place. can any one tell me if they have had any experience with persimmon wood i have heard it can be used for bows. i saw it on yeomans list of aussie bow woods and it got me thinking. my grandma had a persimmon tree in he...

probably just blow drying the hair and wacking on a bit of make up mate. nothing to worry bout.
all the best hope all goes well which i'm sure it will

i've posted this on another site before but i'll share it again. This happened to me last year. i was doing a 4wd course for my tafe at a place out near wingfield. anyone from sa will know wingfield isn't the nicest area as this is where the major rubbish tip for adelaide is. the 4wd course was also...

hey butch congrats on the little blokes mate. i would get onto jason cutter he was going to do the ozbow knife. he makes very nice nives and from what in hear there at a very good price aswell. http://www.jcbknives.com/ thats his website have a look at some of his peronals they might be what your af...

hey mick i must have the same breed of bunnys down here. i live in the subburbs but just around the corner there is some scrub that is private property but every motor bike rider in south australia uses it. when i was a bit younger i used to run around there after school with the mates and a couple ...

jeff like with most things you say i agree. native animals like kangroos and even koalas here in SA can reach huge propotions and the most humane thing to do is kull them. some people have a big spit when they have to be kulled but it is the most humane thing to do. i have no propblem with kulling i...

pete we have heaps of quality feral game in this country i don't know why anyone would want to shoot our native game there is simply no need. The native animals in this counrty are under enough pressure from all the feral animals, land clearing and what ever else we can throw at them. By hunting the...

hey mate. i would say for 4000 you could get yourself a fairly decent car. generally people regard toyota as the best and this may be correct as they are very reliable. and land cruisers run for ever. some things to take into consideration when buying a car for off road are the approach angle the ra...

welldone mate sounds like you had a ball.
congratulation on scoring your first trad harvest. although it was no fox those chiuaua x's are still fair game
russ

anyone else got an old longbow hanging round the heavier the better. nothing pretty.
russ

could they possibly be for archery golf????????????????
the disks you put on the ground to shoot at?
other than that i have no idea
russ

hey norm
i had a look at your site mate and i'm interested. i sent you a PM.

thanks mate
Tim russell

thanks jeff you just gave me exact answer that i was after.
quote
"On average the performance gain is equal to around 5# of bow weight"

that is exactly what i wanted to hear. so with my 2 inches extra draw and the added effect i should be approx 50#.
awsome
cheers everyone

sorry to revive a long dead thread but i found it quite interesting and wanted to share my cheapskate target but. step one: simply buy a slab of beer, its easy you have done it houndreds of times i bet :D step two: invite a few mates around and empty the contents around a bbq., step three: go to the...

good stuff mate.
i guess practise does make perfect
best of luck
russ

its a longbow 66"ntn. it is designed for a fast flight string as the bowyer asked me this before he made it for me. gilnockie, i knew that the string wouldn't add any poundage. but i thought that maybe the extra arrow speed would make up for a little lack of poundage. if you get what i'm trying...

can some of the blokes who know stuff help me out?

i was just wondering if flight strings make up for a little lack in poundage?
also how much more poundage would i be expecting to get out of my bow if it is 40#@28" and i'm drawing 30".
thanks all help is appreciated
russ

:D i'd be more than happy to go on a few day trippers with ya mate :D but at the moment i'm basically restricted to rabbits as my bow is only bout 45 pound or so. do you reckon thats heavy enough for even rabbits? i'll let you know how i go at KI i'm yet to go have a look at the place yet. i doubt i...
