Ozbow

Hi all, I have never bow hunted but am interested in hunting and fishing in general, I was wondering something regarding being a new Archer. If I was to turn up to a few trad shoots at say Gladstone, and showed I am genuine. What would be the chances of being able to find a hunting "Mentor"...

To my way of thinking "instinctive" or natural shooting comes down to three things. 1) The ability to shoot and hit (or near hit) a target area without taking eye focus off the target area. (accuracy) 2) The ability to hit targets without aiming with arrow or gap shooting ie. No conscious ...

Well seems to me theres those that do and those don't get it, a whole lot of semantics "and way too much time on your hands IMO". I seem to shoot ok, I am unable to use point of reference, I am very left eye dominant and the right isnlt much chop, i shoot right handed i can't see the arro...

Thanks Mick, Sue PM'ed me. Awesome. Need the good arrows so I can get lots of practice in.

I need to check my local outdoors store to see if they sell wooden arrows. Is there anyone who makes wooden arrows to sell to order ? Maybe with identifiers ? I'm keen to make my own but it would take me a long time. Would be nice to have a set of good arrows to begin with. Andrew P.S. Roadie, I'll ...

I think we can get a thing called a "life straw" now which I'm sure we have all seen, it's just a filter that works while you drink. I'll be trying to get some so I can drink from any water source almost with minimal effort. The old boil it up method should work if one was stuck/stranded. ...

Hi Ian, For my 2 bobs worth on the finger pull styles and the nocking points. I know I shoot better with three under and "two" string nocks to make one nocking point , but I persist with one over two under because I think it gives more arrow control/safety, I imagine particularly important...

Thanks Jeff, I found some rules while looking last night and it would seem to be specifically allowed, and looking at many of the better bows they have a curved shelf and a piece of skin there and on the side. Thank you very much Sue, I will check all that info out, I did find a little last night ab...

I live only an hour and a half from Gladstone, just south of Rockhampton. I would love to turn up and do some shooting the breeze and arrows, do I need to join a club or can I just turn up and register on the day for shoots like this muster ?

I'm interested in attending a shoot, not sure if my bow would qualify, even after reading a fair bit of this topic thread. :oops: I'm in Central Queensland by the way. Anyway I would have no problem buying the correct bow type and setting it up by the rules and using wooden arrows, but to actually k...
