Ozbow

not sure if I am jumping the que, but I will take it if no one else is in first.

I am with Kev, love the cold hate the summer. I also prefer it to be raining as well.
10-14 degrees in canada they all go to the beach

There must be an increase with skin cancer from the hat decades as opposed to the non hat decades.

My Nephew has had a long fascination with Robin Hood, and things assocaited with the story, he has all the movies and tv shows etc and as his birthday is approaching I was wondering if anyone knows where you can get a silver arrow from? My mrs will make a purple silk pillow to rest it on, as apparen...

When I am wrong I am wrong and will admit it. It wasn't a bow that was fired 1km, it was a cross bow, a large one that was reported to reach distances of 1000 yards. The large cross bows had a crank at the back of them to load it, and while it was said to reach distances between 300-500yds it was al...

Longbow, my bad it was spotted gum, I had been talking pine all day on a project I am doing with my dad so I had pine on the mind. Wolf, I did get a fair bit out of it, and there are already a lot of areas I will change with the next bow, just waiting for my Horse Rasp to arrive before I start. I wi...

Thanks, got the DVD today and have already finished with it, who is next in line? Can forward me your details by PM and I will get it under way tomorrow.

Cheers

I don't think you can give permission as a whole. There are some bright kids out there and then there are those who should never own a gun. I think permission can be granted to younger kids provided they pass some sort of test to see how they conduct themselves, otherwise it falls solely on the pare...

Just thinking about the anti's, and this will go a little off topic, but most of the people who love animals and want to protect them from people and hunters often have a many number of animals themselves, one being cats. In the course of 12mths cats kill and harm the enviroment more than any hunter...

It's not my forum, I won't degrade the thread any more, if I have something useful to add I will add it, but right now I stand by what I said as accurate, and could care less if people want to believe or not, each man must follow his own path. Some information is best kept private and due to finding...

it's funny how I am feeling the situation is likewise.

how has it 'died' some times people think it is dead when all it really needs is a good service

Wolf, Sorry I missed your post last night otherwise I would of given you the details. His name is Peter and he is doing a course on the 12/13th of may. His number is 0408 850 673 and his email is Pyencken(@)gmail.com He probably won't answer tonight as he is camping out in the backyard of the place ...

Mornining All. I didn't say at 1km the shot would be accurate, I just said it was possible from an elevated position to have the arrow make the distance. ... ... Archer's using Yew made bows accurate up to 400yds. Go back and read my previous comment. There is no way that Medieval Longbow will shoo...

Slayer when you take a landscape photo you have to remember three things, foreground, middle ground and back ground. Looking at the car under the tree this image does have these things, but colour would make this image really shine. Either early morning (dawn) or late at night as the sun set will ge...

sounds like a blast, how many people come dressed as robin hood?

Would be interested in more details.

I guess making a piece of steel to put in the bottom of the quiver can't hurt then. Cheers

Thanks guys I appreciate the help. Like with many things everyone has their opinion which is fair enough but it doesn't make it easy for the newbie

I hope we get to make arrows on the weekend which might help clear up some of these issues.

It goes without saying that the public are to blame, I never said lawyers were, but when someone or a country if we want to keep speaking about America sues over some pretty petty things in my opinion through media, social networks and even to a degree my own ignorance everything associated is broug...

In reality lawyers have there place, if some con artist scams a widow for all her money to do her drive way and then never does it I can understand completely and we need to throw the book at these types of people and the sort of cases you mentioned. What annoys me, and Americans are to blame largel...

some dude got kicked out for punching a horse in the head because it stood on his foot by mistake. That is really poor forum, I love horses and wish someone had of punched this dude in the head. For those who like a bit of medieval they will probably get a kick out of it, they go back in time and tr...

I can agree with that Dennis. If you take hunting out of it for a moment, thee types of groups have issues with almost everything to do with animals, size of a tank a fish is kept in, the size of the yard you keep your dog in, and it just goes on and on and on. The thing is in regards to hunting the...

I have had my fair share of fights over the years, and in my older years I have reached the opinion that why can't we all just get along. There are always going to be thoughts and opinons that I don't agree with, and vice versa and that is ok. The chances of hunting be totally being wiped will only ...

oh, and it is easy to look like I have taken over when I don't sleep and I get reading and start asking questions.

I have a tendancy to get forums moving, some people find it annoying, and on some of the slower forums they love it as the forum dies without someone like myself.

I am located on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. Well at least that is where my server is located

For those who make arrows by hand, what are the tools you can't live without to help speed up the process?
Been searching and it just gets confusing so I thought I would just put the question out there.

cheers

Obviously you need it to hold arrows, but what else do you look for in a quiver? Extra pouches etc etc?
If your chosing for the first time what are the hidden things you don't know about to later, things you wish you had of looked for that you didn't know earlier?

cheers

This might sound stupid, but they say there is never a stupid question, so....

When you have shot all your arrows into a target or tree or whatever, is there a correct way to remove the arrow to prevent damage so they can be used again and again?

thanks

If no one has put there hand up I would be happy to be next, or join the line, whatever suits really

Not a problem at all. Cheers

Thanking you, not much on telly at 3:40am, so now I have a show to watch
