Ozbow

Afternoon.

Just dropping by. It appears the never-ending argument continues.

Morning All.

Just to ask the question. If fibreglass laminated bows ard acceptable why not fibreglass arrows?

Morning All.

The issue regarding Bow Divisions/Rules has been debated for years on this Forum. The problem/stumbling block appears to be a lack of clear definitions and agreeance.

Grahame.

Morning Ben. Thanks, Grahame. My mate called me this arvo very excited to let me know he's located a top Aussie bowyer willing to give it a red-hot go. Cheers, Ben Great news. It will be great to see anotger in action. IMO As long as people are willing to accept a few deviations from the original/tr...

Morning. I have been a member of this site for over decade. In that time I am aware of only one Yumi style bow being made by members of this site. There are reason why the Japanese do not make 80lb plus bows. (If it is intended to shoot it with a Japanese style glove you will probably need to make a...

Morning Perry and Daryl.

My $0:02.

Hunting as a means of Feral Animal Control has several "challenges". Leading them it has poor media in that it has difficulties in getting its message across .. or even clearly annuciating its message.

Afternoon Daryl.

As Daryl has suggested 'performance' is more than just arrow speed. e.g. Go shorter to gain speed and you may suffer from 'Finger Pinch' and decreased accuracy.

Morning Ian. ... I actually don't have another set of limbs to try your suggestion with as the Hoyt Formula limbs are quite expensive to buy so I was going to try to figure out how they would "convert" from the rated X LBS AT 23" and 25" risers to my 19" riser but also if th...

Hi Ron. I own a Win & Win olympic style bow with ILF Limbs, and rule of thumb is the length of the riser makes approx 2+ lb per inch difference. I am not sure that it works the same for Furmula system, but it would have to be close as it is only a means of attaching limb to riser. So on that bas...

Hi Perry.

It is a Short Riser Recurve Bow. SRRB.

Morning Perry We know historically that originally they were called bows. Then the adjective, long, was added to differentiate them from 'cross bows'. Refer Paxton letters. (Do a search on this forum for tge newcomers.) Then e(E)nglish was added to differentiate the bow that was used by the English ...

Morning.

greybeard wrote:... Should the abbreviation be EL and not ELB?

That shouldbe a question for the eytmoligists and lexicographers.

What is an appropriate abbreviation for Longbow/long bow/etc.? That decision would effectively determine what be appropriate for English Longbow/whatever.

Morning All. Just to keep the issue seperate from the originating post. http://www.ozbow.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=16336&p=169309#p169309 Has anyone done a 'costing' exercise on what it costs to run an event, etc? eg As a component/element cost. How much does cost to shoot each arrow i...

It is good when the system works and people are appropriately rewarded/punished for their decisions.

Morning. ... forgiveness ... IMO People talk about 'forgiveness'. The 'tech' in me immediately asks the question what is 'forgiveness' and how do you measure it? WRT Changes, Tuning, etc. If you are tuning a Bow/Arrow combination how many arrows do you need to shoot to confirm that the change is eit...

Morning All. Their is nothing magical about bareshaft arrows. However, how a bareshaft 'performs' and a fletched arrow performs are slightly different and if you are trying to get an optimum Arrow and Arrow Flight it helps to understand what is going on. e.g. If you have an bareshaft that is 'correc...

Afternoon All. Another step closer to the licensing of bows; http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-07/intruder-shot-with-arrow-during-break-in-at-home-in-sydney/8000696 Daryl. In other reports it is a "Compound Bow". http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/home-intruder-shot-with-bow-and-arrow-in-southwest...

Afternoon Tom and Grant.

IMO It is an extremely complex issue. It has barely been scratched on these forum posts. Personal Income Tax in Aus'. Now there is a long and complex story.

Afternoon.

Play on words.

Morning Tom. I found both videos interesting but the one on Khatra seems "not quite right" to me. ... I agree. A Yumi, in the hands of a competent user, rotates. There is a video on the net (somwhere) which attempts to explain why it does so, not very succesfully. The cause of the rotation...

Hi Rod. Riser looks nice Daryl,that rosewood is beautiful stuff mate Daryl will not say it however, the bow itself looks very nice plus is a pleasure to shoot. The workmanship is high, typical of Daryl's work. It is still in the tuning stage and the grip does not suit me but suits the builder approp...

It is good to know how to make them as they can be made 'in the field' without the need for a jig.
