If you can wait till the trad shoot at north albert in a couple of weeks I,ll have my string jig there , make you a string no trouble.GAZ.

I`ve used techniglue on boo backed bows, it is fine, the wood will fail before the glue lets go . humidity is a big factor though, bamboo is like a sponge .persistance pays off keep at it GAZ.

hey guys, there is something about blades that attracts some people, me for one! I dont much like new ones although they are nice to look at. I look around markets and second hand shops for the old missused knives people have negleted. I`ve found some beauties. Awhile ago I picked up this rusty blob...

yes uncle, i agree the only way a national shoot can work year after year is to rotate from state to state. otherwise the people who travel the longest would get cheezed off and it would end up a state comp[what ever state was holding the shoot].does anyone know how many trad shooters we have in aus...

another thing mate, 8% forward of centre, not enough! 20% is what you need.

hey mate, another thing to check is the brace height of your bow if it is too low your arrow flight can be poor.what weight points have you on your shafts? try heavier ones on a couple of shafts to compare with the others. allso try nocking an arrow above the nock this may seem too high but some bow...

I attended the shoot at Moonan Flats last weekend , where we caught up with the crew from Hunter Valley, they handed out membership forms for the newly formed Traditional Archery Australia.One of their objectives is to organize a national shoot of some kind. so sooner or latter we will all be gettin...

Giday mate, generally recurves/ longbows should shoot arrows that are about 10 grains per pound of draw weight. I found the arrows onthe heavier side tend to be more accurate . Shooting arrows too light can have the same effect as dry firing you bow in the long term.

Hi Erron, I think the word corrival is latin, the true meaning is a celebration of war weapons. Just like carnival ,celebration of the child.We'll be having a great time , be good to see you there.
