Ozbow

Howdy folks, it's been a while since I have been on Ozbow but see there are still plenty of familiar faces around..In short,about 5 years ago I fell off a jetty and landed on the side of a boat and snapped a tendon just above my elbow on my left arm. As it turns out it was the tendon that stops my a...

Hey Rod...What price do your bows start from? Looking for something around 47-50 lbs....

Cheers...Sparra

My bow is a Grey Beard Longbow,sleeve type and when it is together and strung you wouldn't know it's a 2 piece...I did put a post up on the ABA website and a reply said I can shoot in modern longbow..

Cheers...Sparra

G'day Paul...Thanks for the info,I might shoot the ABA an email and see what they say...The reason I prefer a 2 piece is that from past experience if I decide to sell a bow,a I piece is a real pain as far as shipping goes...Where as a 2 piece will go through the post...

Cheers...Sparra

My pleasure Bill...I had forgotten about them until I seen your post...

Cheers...Sparra

Cheers Bob...In my quest to improve my shooting I am going to go down in weight to about 45#...I need to buy another bow and as much as I prefer 2 piece if I can't shoot it at ABA I will have to go 1 piece...

Cheers...Sparra

I was also told yesterday that you can't shoot a takedown longbow in ABA...Is this right???

At the moment I shoot split fingers...I have a Greybeard Longbow,53#@28...I am thinking of changing to 3 under and try to start shooting point of aim and was wondering if I need to change anything on the bow to do this...ie..nocking point...At the moment I just focus on the target,draw the arrow and...

Just wondering if anyones got a copy of the Masters of the Barebow DVD series that they no longer watch and want to sell...Or if not, where to buy the series???

Cheers...Sparra

Can someone explain why it would make a difference where the cock feather is??? I was always under the impression it was soley to show the arrow orientation for nocking so therefore it would be personal preference...

Cheers...Sparra

Hey Bill...The ones I have are the same as the ones above but in worse nick....

I only just found this thread...Those pic's are amazing..Thanks for sharing,the only downside I could see was that there wasn't enough of them...

Cheers...Sparra

Hey there Bill...I have some old glue on's that you are welcome to if you want them...They came on some old arrows I picked up and would be more than 20 years old I would think...Just about worn out but may be ok for display purposes...Let me know...

Cheers...Sparra

Cheers Chaps...

Good to see people are getting out...I flung a few yesterday,first time in over 12 months (been building a new house)and didn't realise how much I have missed it...
On a side note,how do you put multiple quots into a post???

Cheers...Sparra

I'd love to see the shop pic's but you have to sign into stinking facebook...

Next time you see Mozza on here ask him what he uses to make flies...

G'day Tom..I did see about 3 or 4 about six months back in a paddock about half a k from this one...At the time I thought I was seeing things and didn't think anymore of it...Where this lot were didn't look like deer farm paddocks...There were cattle in there as well and the fences were the normal l...

I was driving home down from the state of origin on Thursday morning after NSW won...We were not too far from Berry and in the middle of nowhere about 50m from the road there were about a dozen deer in the paddock...It was about 11.30..I didn't see too much of them but my wife gave me the count and ...

Can't be too cold Jindy...Your mates still holding a stubby without a holder...

Are you shooting off your hand there Ben or is there a shelf there???

OOps...

Hey LP...I think it's a bit like the Harley verses the rest of em...Some hate them and some love them....As long as where riding it really doesn't matter...Me...I shoot both ride a Harley...

Cheers...Sparra

Thanks for the reply Jeff and I hope we are not taking this thread too far off track...I think a lot of the misunderstanding is in calling it the front and belly as apposed to the front and back of the bow which a lot of people who are not told otherwise would relate to,myself included until I joine...

Seeing as how you have asked the question Daryl I would have to say my Greybeard longbow...

Cheers...Sparra

Thanks for the reply Rod...That's where I have always measured from as well but I have heard a lot of people calling the back of the bow the side that is closest to the archer as described in my above post...

cheers...Sparra

Hi fella's...This is maybe a stupid question but are you measuring the draw length from the back of the bow shelf(closest point from string to bow or from string to the front of the bow(furthest point of bow away from archer)...I have heard over the years of people measuring from all different point...

Size would also help...

Just wondering if you still need to taper the tips for the brass screw on points...If so do you just taper the same as a glue on point???

Thanks...Sparra
