Ozbow

Thanks for the link... chucked it in the calendar on the off-chance I am at a loose end that weekend!

Ah ok, its a 'good' bow. Otherwise I'd have suggested adapting a set of ILF limbs or somesuch... good luck!

out of curiousity, what is the recurve that has the dieing limbs ? Replacements not available?

Interesting. What size is the riser (nominal length in inches)?

Black and white > white surrounding the target > 'walk of shame' .

Take the time, practice well, and results will come.

Sorry for the late comment... ain't been around here much of late. This bit stood out: An alternative allowed sighting method is the moveable "Point-of-Aim" on the ground. This cannot exceed a height of 6" above the ground or be larger than 3" in diameter. :shock: I admit... I us...

Very nice work.

Was it the chainsaw attachment that tipped you over the edge?

Its an impressive bit of gear, but I don't quite get the 'why' bit.

Just make sure you wear a mask when grinding or sanding bone, horn, etc (incl bakelite and other synthetics) - that is some really nasty crud right there.

Top work.

Here is one for you.... :lol: This in nice. Odd. Bunch of nice ones here . 3rivers sell them, though I am pretty sure they also used to do a DIY version that was roughed out and needed finishing. Can't seem to find it now. Size and fit would be the issues with buying sight unseen. You ought to be a...

Lorchan (James) might be able to introduce you to the black art of the thumb ring release.... very suited to such a short bow as an SKB. I have seen him botch a few shots and have an arrow fishtailing so badly that it was simultaneously hitting a pair of targets 20cm apart at about 20m... but when h...

Big call.... but they would have to be pretty darn close.

Very nice work.

What are the points?

As a post script to this thread... I think I posted something about the Morrison range a couple of years ago. But subsequently about November before last I bought a Tradtech Pinnacle - a Samick built 'wood' riser with ILF fittings. It is not centre cut, and has a radiused shelf. It is a 19" ris...

I am pretty sure the 'cartel longbow' in those pics is the 'Internature Viper'. I think it is the deluxe model that has the dark woods. Do a search on ' internature viper ' on this forum and you will find very favourable responses. They are 68" (I have a Viper).

Will an Endless String better a Flemish string? they seem to be failing where they contact the limb, not where the end of the string integrate back onto the main part of the string. They will have the same number of strands running over and around the nock ends. So would you serve the ends of a endl...

I think this vid shows how to use the string and block type bow stringer. http://www.3riversarchery.com/3rdemos4.asp#22 I use a stringer for my medium to long recurves but step through for my longbow. I have had a bit of practice at doing it and am very careful not to twist the limbs or place uneven...

Big job. Look good.

What did you bind them with?

Crikey. Definately unexpected after reading that Archery Forum thread about them testing Hoyt limbs.

What limbs are you using for 50# @ 29" on a 21" riser? Any pics of the riser ?

My original reference described the bow as being nocked 'within and without' which I take to mean on one side up top, the other down bottom. Sort of stringing the bow diagonally across its length. That and I think its shorter length would have distinguished it from the english / welsh bows that I be...

So... pardon ignorance, but did the true 'old school' bow strings use nock loops that utilised a slip knot instead of a loop being incorporated into part of the end of thestring? So a 'scotch bow' was one that was strung such to suit the string coming one way over the top knock and the other way ove...

I once went 2 hours drive and forgot my bow...left it leaning against the garage! :D Drove 2 hours with a mate to go shooting... and found I had left the bolt for my Brno at home. But that was ok because I had a 10round mag for the Ruger. Well at least I did until it apparently fell out on our firs...

Great looking fox - it would scare the crap out of my dog!

That didn't seem to worry them... coz stuff went everywhere!

That was the factory?

That was a big bang when it let go!

Looking at a star late one night. It got brighter. Then was gone. :shock: A few years ago there was some late evening event that caled for an F111 to do a flypast and a dump and burn. There was heavy dark cloud cover verging on a massive thunderstorm. The plane came across town a bit lower than usua...

It was actually searching for the term 'saturday night palsy' that found me the proper name. There are a number of spots in the body where vital systems are rather close to the surface of the skin and can become obstructed by pressure - hence the use of pressure bandages in emergency medicine, compr...

Thanks for that - an interesting read all the way through. And then GT comes in with the hard data and facts. Loved this bit: In past testing, I have taken 42# G3 foam core limbs (which is the standard endurance test marked weight) to 1,000,000 shot cycles at a peak draw weight of 50#. Obviously thi...

Radial Neuropathy is what you are looking at.

Both Saturday night palsy and honeymooners palsy refer to the fact that the nerve damage is generally forewarned by arm pain to a degree that only excessive love or liquor would drive a person to keep their arm in such an uncomfortable position.
