My missus doesn't mind me going hunting in fact she loves less husband and kids around as my boys love going bush for a look around whether we shoot anything or not doesn't matter its the fact their out walking around learning that i like.When we first met i said i hunt fish and shoot and i wont b c...

nice looking bow that is i like the colour of the timbers they are very nice,i hope it shoots as good as it looks.
cheers emu

that was a ripper even the wife got a laugh out of it.

It's a bugger when ya run out of rollie papers and i tell ya its bad when no one else around smokes but giving em up probably not a bad idea,I gotta do so as the doc informed the other day if i dont i'm deep in the ****,major risk of a heartie if i don't.I am gonna give em up, to many kids to leave ...

Sounds like everyone was lucky to escape without fatalities I hope everyone involved has a speedy recovery.I wish u all the best and hope the young bloke comes out of it alright as u say it was an accident so hopefully he doesn't do anything silly.
cheers emu

Good stuff well done that is a nice looking bow definately wouldn't be giving that back.
cheers emu

we have had a bit over 50mm in the last couple of days and glad to see it a few farmers aren't and i am glad we haven't got hay on the ground,checked the bom site b4 looks like we might get some more 2night.
cheers emu

Try a samick or win and win they come in different coloured risers and have replacable limbs so she can always get a heavier poundage as she gets used to it.
Cheers Emu

I have a taper tool the same only worth a few dollars i got mine from archerymart in adelaide.I like the jig bloody clever thinking and looks to do the job well done jape.
cheers emu

Congratulations mate u must have a mighty fine women to let ya do that.Wedded bliss now theres a subject of debate but we won't go there.
Cheers emu

Bad luck about the pigs always next time, nice collection of hunters and some good looking bows nice looking countryside as well.I like the u beaut quiver as well.
Cheers emu

I would go with what MS said i find after quite a few shots i will shoot left a bit but only bcause i am either torquing the bow by gripping to hard or bow arm drops a bit b4 release of arrow or just as i release.It can get bloody annoying how many shots do u relaease b4 this happens it could be fro...

Beautiful bow u got hold of there axe nice timber very attractive.
Emu

The best way to start is to go to a club or shop and try a few different bows and pick one that suits u.I think as the others said do not go to higher poundage or u will get bad habits that will be hard to break.Either way recurve or longbow whatever u decide on it is a great sport.
Emu

I realise this is not strictly a trad glove but have noticed a couple of people at the club using golf gloves for their archery as they fit nicely and allow plenty of feel and movement just a thought.I use a tab or shoot with fingers only.
Cheers Emu

Shooting at Barossa Valley club about 10 mins drive from my place on the outskirts of tanunda target only pretty coloured circles only most of the members wouldnt know how to shoot trad especially if u took the sights away but am trying to show them u don't need bells and whistles to hit the target....

I have just finished a safety course as has my son we done it over 3 weeks no worries.I have had to show some of the members that u don't need sights and wheels to hit the target I shoot barebow recurve as does my son.I have tried sites as my son has but as we practice without them we find it weird....

Nice gear there Adam very sweet looking bow u wouldn't have a full pic of it u could stick up please as am interested in timber colours looks very sweet.
Cheers Emu

Thats some sweet looking arra's u have made up nice quivers to I think I'll shoot up to Gumeracha and check it out the kids will like it to I think where abouts r u having the display.
Cheers Emu

Joel as Buzz said check out archery mart for spare limbs as they are $123 a pair and have them in stock check their website and click on the thing for a catalogue it's quite a comprehensive catalogue.
Cheers Emu

Cheers Emu

I shoot a Samick Mind 30 which 58 Inches takedown bow it is 30lb at 28 inches and shoots smooth with no shock and is well in your price bracket at around $250 u can always buy higher poundage limbs as u grow they sell for around $130 a set these are sweet little bow if u are on a budget but still sh...

Well done Mick nice little bunny taste good on the bbq they do.It looks like some nice hunting ground u have there.I really like the look of that bow one sweet piece of timber.
Cheers Wayne

I agree with Jeff as my kids know how to use a firearm safely they also know not to point the bow at anything other than the target and to never shoot if anyone is infront or to the side all people have to be behind the firearm or bow before u shoot.I realise that protective equipment is worn but I ...

I think they are some of the nicest bows I have seen for awhile u a extremely lucky.I have a question about the kids longbow what is the draw weight on it as I am looking for something for my lad.
Cheers Emu

Geez thats a sweet looking outfit there u are one lucky bloke looks like it should shoot well.I like the way it takes down obviously there is no problems with alignment when u take it apart and reasemble it.I wish things like that would be waiting for me when I get home.
