The pic of the tatt is less than 5 mins after it was done..in one sitting.
Happy shooting

Re: I like Chinese (Bows) - Part II
... From shooting the bows do they have similar draw characteristics i.e. rate of increase of draw weight through the draw cycle? ... G'day Daryl Both bows are very smooth to draw with little stack at 28". It's constant through out. Not surprising when the max draw length is about 30". Ev...

Re: I like Chinese (Bows) - Part II
G'day Daryl ...With the two bows that you mentioned how similar are they in profile when unbraced and braced? Are the core construction/materials identical in both bows? I've attached pics from the Grozer website of the mongolian and the hunnish braced and unbraced. Hope this helps. HunnishBraced.gi...

Re: I like Chinese (Bows) - Part II
G'day Grahame Nice looking bow! I noticed that there was some limb and string vibration after the bow was shot. How does the bow feel when being shot? I know with my Grozer mongolian, that it feels like my hand is being kicked when the string hits the string stops. Also I noticed that with my Grozer...

Part of my overall body conditioning routine at Gym
We have a weight machine at the gym I go to that I can use to train the muscles for archery. Also a lot of other pyramid weights (either 15 12 10 or 12 10 8 repetitions depending on the weight), typically supersets. One weight routine to the next without a rest. In terms of upper body conditioning a...

I just would like to again thank everyone for their condolences and sympathies. My late father was committed to the cremator's flames today in a simple and private ceremony, as was his wish.

G'day Tom ... I own a Howatt Mamba 50# recurve which is fast but no faster than my 50# Grozer Hungarain and my latest Grozer, the Assyrian also at 50# at my draw length. Of them all I prefer the Assyrian even though it has no shelf. It is a far more pleasant bow to shoot than the Mamba or my Win &am...

G'day All First of all I would like to congratulate Perry and Greybeard on their sterling efforts to codify the trad archery area and taking the time to come up with these rules. However, I don't agree with lumping asiatic recurves (aka horsebows) in with modern recurves because of the obvious desig...
