Mick Glad to see you didn't play the hero.
I was in the Metro fire brigade for 12 years and have seen too many people burn them selves or get run over by passing motorist whilst dancing around their burning car.
At least your alive to choose your new 4B and laugh about it later.
Good luck mate

The couple were each 85 years old, and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they watched their pennies. Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last de...

Good to hear that you don't have to buy that dog and white stick :lol:
Mate have you been shooting with your glasses on. The reason I ask is that I wear glasses and if I wear them shooting it upsets my form (instinctive) so I don't wear them. I'm shooting blind :shock: no not that bad.

G'day Oliver, I use a bow quiver to hunt. The reason is that I don't have a decent back quiver and they are very hard to obtain. There are a few commercial brands on the market but in my opinion there too small. I like a wide throat type that sits flat against my back (stop arrows rattling) with dec...

Bow Repair/Finish

Hi Guy's I have a recurve that is backed with a snake skin. I think it was added after the bow was made. The question is the top limb where the limb bolt is, the skin has lifted on the corner, maybe overtightening of the bolt. Also it has a small rub further up the limb and has exposed the scale of ...
