Ozbow

Grew up reading about Dallas - I think it was Outdoors magazine - reading all about his 55lb recurve - shooting POC shafts and Davies delta broadheads - smashing the pigs in the Macquarie Marshes. His exploits inspired me to get my first recurve.

Yes mate - remember it well - always liked that pic - its also on the wall at MWFA. Have to get together for a shoot...

Hey Jeffro -its Johnno - good to see your still lurking....

If you go to K-Mart you can get the old style Styrofoam boogie boards - plain not plastic backed. Get about 4 should be about $10 each. Cut them in half so you have 8 sections. Wrap them up in masking tape and wellla - one big Styrofoam block - its the perfect stop for f/pts and b/heads. Whilst the ...

Sue - I think he's in Sydney

If in Sydney - Ill give you $100 - assuming its r/h?

Thank you gentlemen for your input - your advice is greatly appreciated...

Also is there anyway to remove them?

On the on the belly underside of the limbs above the riser - does the location matter?

Can anyone advise as to what theses marks are - and any cause for concern - thanks

Thanks Sue - was to great to catch up with you and Steve and all the others who took the plunge (pun intended). Although the rain may have dampened the ground - it didn't dampen the enthusiasm - and the way I was shooting - glad the score sheets also got drowned - I too thank Rob and Di for all thei...

Bow is in very good condition - no limb twist - cosmetically only blemish are two screw holes in riser - holes have been professionally repaired by master bowyer Nick Lintern (Norseman Long Bows). Bow is fast, quiet and a great shooter - can include 8 Steve Wallace arrows (and a bunch of others timb...

Hi all - thankyou one and all for your assistance - I may have a crack at making my own ring - although that said, I have recently orders a Classic from Vermil - Bruce thanks for your offer - was it you that I have met at the Wiseman ferry shoots and more recently at the Hunter Valley Trad shoot in ...

Tom/Perry - many thanks guys for the assistance - yes I think I will be in for a challenge - there is also a series of YouTube vids by a guy name Joel Turner Ironmindhunting.com - who shoots modern recurves off the shelf - both right and left - with a thumb ring with apparent success....so I'll give...

Having suffered an injury to my right hand and specifically the tendon of my ring finger - as I shoot split finger I find it very painful to shoot my bow and 3 under is no better. So I was thinking of using a thumb ring. So does anyone have any experience with using a thumb ring for their recurve ? ...

Thanks mate

Cheers Matt - will give the O rings a go...although there are no screws holes in my riser - I will try slipping the O ring over the limb and above the quiver bracket - hopefully it may stop it sliding up the limb...

Sorry guys - perhaps I wasn't clear - the quiver is a strap on not a bolt on - thanks

This is also very clever - slides #72-#75

For those of you who may have a Thunderhorn Boa quiver - how do you stop the hood and arrow holder from creeping up the limbs - I have them both as tight as I dare i.e. on the 3rd hole from the end and have tried double sided tape and other means but they still move. Not a deal breaker and its still...

Beautiful work - wish I was half that smart ...

I've had a few from o/s no problem at all...just make sure that you receive the tracking details so that you can track the item...cheers..

Ditto - had a ball - sorry I couldn't camp over - maybe next time. Big thank you to Rob and Di for organising the event...

Cheers mate - may have to take out a second mortgage ad get one of the American Leather gloves ....

Thanks Darren - OK may try a deeper hook - or a tab

I shoot a Martin Mamba 58" 55#@28" and shoot split finger or Mediterranean (call it what you will) and after a shooting session of a few hours I end up with a blister on the tip of my right ring finger whereas all other fingers are fine. So is this "finger pinch" I have heard abo...

For those that are familiar - have you used it and how accurate is it - playing around and trying to get the best arrow setup for my bow?

Cheers...

A more accurate method, which takes in shoulder width, is the 'wing span method'. With your back and head to the wall, spread your arms out wide at shoulder height to form a 'T'. Place a mark at the very ends of your fingertips and measure this distance. This is your wingspan. Now divide this figur...

Does the extra weight of a strap on bow quiver, ie Boa or Selway, and it being attached to the limbs help to quieten the bow at all ?

Property looks lush and in good nick - nice full dam. Do you always shoot bare fingers?
