Ozbow

Heya gang, Getting back into it and looking for something 45-75lb. Possibly two bows, one lighter one heavier, for development and practice. Not looking for anything tooooo fancy or expensive. If I could afford a Norseman that's what I'd buy, to give you an idea. Appreciate if you PM me or post what...

...my neighbour and I have just spent the last 2 days grinding over 4 ton of grape fruit ,mandarins and valencia oranges into the ground. No one seems to want them , can't give them away.. Sad **** indeed. I think you're on the money in thinking about preserving the fruit as an alcoholic beverage. ...

Absolutely breathtaking piece of work - if we could afford it I'd be all over it.

Mate I'd struggle with 110#, but do like a challenge. Budget's pretty tight for now but will let you know if that changes. Thanks for posting.

Bum.......................p. Still looking, lemme know what you have that I might like to have

Bump. Now after anything from 55-60# up as my longbow is now an ex-longbow and I'm getting itchy string fingers.

This is firewood now isn't it?

Not the Kingswood!!!

Hey there Colin, Thanks for the reply. It'll be for backyard target, 3D and eventually hunting, and yes, I expect to be looking for some time. I will eventually make some bows, but starting at lower weights and expecting failures along the way. I've had a look at your build threads, impressive! Chee...

Fellow archers,

As per the title, I'm after a longbow with a draw weight around 80-100lb, or alternatively a recurve, to $300 but prefer to spend less. Not after anything fancy, just wanting to continue developing strength and accuracy at higher weights.

Cheers,

Jake

Thanks for the feedback. I had a string made up by Craig (Swift Bowstrings). Very happy with the result.

Thanks for the replies gents.

How many strands should I be looking for in a dacron string for the 71# draw weight?

G'day, Great to join a forum of fellow people interested in traditional archery. I have a Ben Pearson 50th anniversary traditional (71# @ 28") in need of a new string, and am after your advice as to what to fit? I'd prefer to buy off the shelf or have a string made locally (ie, I'm not interest...
