Ozbow

Hi all, I'm attempting bow number 3 and decided to follow the mass principal. I'm making it for a young niece and so expecting her to grow into it. I would like some comments on my plans as I'd like it to be successful and safe. She is not in Australia so it will need to be a 2 piece take down for p...

Thanks longbowinfected. Your post really helped my gather my thoughts on this. I followed your instructions as best I could with the tools I have on hand. I removed one of my tips. I saw the 5 degree taper as I've seen before. I put my big boy pants on and cut the taper off (no turning back now), th...

All of what I read on government web sites is about bow hunting. (Min of 45# and broad heads for game). Archery Australia / Victoria / ABA h...

One thing I didn't mention was that I used the "Tillering Gizmo" in the end. I think it kinda got me there in the end.

Ok I have to chime in. In March/April I made a red oak board bow. I used the poorfolkbows site and pretty much followed it word for word until then end. (I added tip reinforcements and some decoration). I'm completely new to archery and my decision to make a bow was a financial one. (My wife thought...

Total archery newbe myself. I regularly struggle with this. (although I'm in the 80%'s of right handers and right eye dominant). After a particularly disheartening session a few weeks ago, I tried to research why I hit left at 18m. I found this: http://www.angelfire.com/clone/archery/articles/group....
