Ozbow

Friends of mine where I get a bit of my archery gear from over here in NZ did a fair bit of the coaching for the movie. They were very happy how Anna P took to the bow.

Funny thing is their shop is called Advanced Archery and deal mostly with compounds

Hi The first CM I bought (via ArcheryByMail) I had sent airmail and was about 2in too long so ended up being sent Priority and costing me around US$90 - arrived in about 3 days though :). Then customs got in on the act and stung me - then the govt added GST on top of everything - nothing like tax on...

Howdy I've got 2 Crusader Longbows and have ordered another. They are very nice to shoot. A number of my mates have them and have absolutely no complaints. My 45# spits out a 5/16 very nicely... the 70#er with 1 11/32 even better :) One of our ladies shoots an Atilla and loves it. I've shot with her...

I use a FREE utility called Easy Thumbnails. Check out www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/ - after installing this puppy its matter of specifying the settings (dimension, % quality, file suffix) and then you're away. It enables right click - so you can right click on a pic and select easythumbs and presto you'...

Howdy Man you've got me riled up again. Up until 4 months ago I've had have nothing but good things to say about 3 Rivers. However, I placed an order for approx US$150. At the time, their website stated that they use the express shipping for orders over US$200 so I thought sweet - I was in no rush. ...

Hiya Great to see that there's a fair bit of interest already! I'm heading out for a hunt towards the end of August with the compound and then it will be time to dust of the longbow. I've ordered a Chekmate which I'm hoping will arrive in time for me to get a bit of practice in before the event. Loo...

Butch I've done a similar thing - getting a couple of hunting knives made up for my kids (currently 2.5yrs and 1yr). Getting their names and bdays engraved on them. Should be quite a nice little keepsake/tool for them when they're older. My wife (and everyone else) thinks I'm a little mad - so it's ...

A big thanks to all those involved in the Gladstone shoot. This Kiwi had a fantastic time and has already started dropping a few hints so that he can be let out again next year (now that the wife has stopped looking over my shoulder - I hope it can be for a little longer to get in a spot of fishing ...

Howdy Team Yep Rob is just about there. Thanks David for organising that lift. I'll be the one carrying a long cardboard tube! Big thanks to all you Aussies for making it easier for us simple Kiwis. Man I've been running around like a blue arsed fly this week with what little I did have to organise!...

Thanks David

I'll pass the directions on. I must be doing something wrong though as there seems to only be one page on the flyer???

Cheers
Rob

Hi Guys

Quick question.

I've had a few enquiries from guys driving up to the shoot. Is anyone able to send me a map as to the shoot's location?

You can email me at rstevens@xtra.co.nz

Cheers
Rob

Hi Sue Flights all booked. New string on the bow (nocking point not quite right yet...) Been a bit slack on the practice though . Will there be a novice peg? :) Not long now - which means I need to sort those arrows out. Have you booked the weather? I'll pass your message on to Darrall. Cheers Rob

Hi Bill That would be sweet if you could pick me up from Gladstone - I've flicked off an email to the Gladstone Area Water Board (??) who I'm hoping may be of some help re travel options from the airport. Anyway I'm hoping to finalise things early next week so will let you know. Yep I'm was planning...

Thanks heaps for the offers guys. I'm just going to flick off an email to a tourism place in Gladstone to check out distances and travel options from Gladstone Airport - as I'm hoping to fly in on the Friday instead of Thursday. I'll keep you posted. By the way Bill, I'd like not to have to take a t...

Hi All I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as to which of the following options you'd recommend re getting to the shoot at Gladstone: 1. Flying into Brisbane, hiring and driving 2. Flying into Rockhampton 3. Flying into Gladstone Can anyone tell me how far away the shoot is from t...

Last couple...

A few more...

Howdy All I was at the 2004 Rendezvous and it was one of the best shoots I've been to (and this is coming from someone who predominantly shoots a compound). The O'Hara estate is a spectacular setting. Kelvin and his team at only a few weeks notice really came through with the goods. So I've got huge...
