Re: First post first hand made bow.

Welcome, and congrats on your 1st bow. Wherebouts in Tasie you're from. I lived for 10 years over there, 2 in Launceston, 8 in Penguin. Nice place, but no bowhunting, and the weather in winter is crap.

Re: Definately the last in the Rack

Very nice Tony, and the Pierce Points look good too. But that's a big call ("definitely the last in the rack") :wink: I was also surprised, at how light it is. I normally prefer more mass in the riser, but it feels and shoots great. I stuck an elevated rest on mine, and easy to tune, and s...

Re: Another Border

Very nice Clinton, and great speed out of those BB2's, with your DL. I also shoot 10+gpp at my DL, but it is 29.75", I'll put the HEX6W's through the chrono, and see what I get.

Re: Smoothness.

Daryl, my HEX6's are pretty quiet with just 2 wool puffs (12gr each) and 10gr pp GT's, with my AD Hammerheads about 12gr pp they are really quiet. Tried them out with some arrows a bit over 8gr pp, they were smoking fast but laud. But then all my bows are with light arrows. And some target guys shoo...

Thinning the stable?

A while ago I posted about my McCoulough 59er, how I couldn't come to grips with it. Like it was suggested I put it away for a while, and then shot it quite well. The last couple of months, I've been mainly shooting my LB's, and also thinking of thinning the stable a bit. The 59er was one of the can...

Mainly RC's here, but a few months ago I got a 1pc Schafer S-Tip long bow, and really liked it. Well a little while ago a Jack B. Harrison Siberian Wolf came up, so I thought why not? And I'm impressed. It's a bit heavier than I normally shoot, but does not feel it at all. Straight of the bat I was ...

9 months wait for one of Brandon's bows, and it's nearly up. I didn't get the pierce points on mine, (not my cuppa-). I can't post pics, but when it turns up, I'll take some and can email .

Craig, I'm in the same boat as you. Must be the challenge, (as if I need it). Just got a new one, and seems to be working for me, so far. Early days, but I'm quite impressed with it actually.

Re: 68" bow USA to australia for $55us shipping

Got a bow from US, a couple of weeks ago. The shipping within US was included in the price, and would have been $50 in US. The TD bow came in a SOLID Oak case, 1m long but weight 23#. not a typo, 23#. The seller went half with me in the extra shipping, and my cost was a bit over $40 US. That was USP...
