Ozbow

Good to have them up on the wall for sure.

Jeff

Very nice!

Jeff

Should work a treat.

Jeff

Good setup there.

Went to Bingham's website and started looking for what I need......started noticing the lack of lots of materials....like black glass , certain wood laminations , riser blocks in certain woods.... Sent a e-mail and they said they are closing...... Alex. That is sad to hear after all these years. Th...

Daryl.

I'm sure someone will grab it and enjoy shooting it.

Jeff

The maker wouldn't agree with me I'm sure but to me they were rather average. I'm relating to the bows made back in the 1980's and 1990's. They had horrible Australian made glass but that may have changed to Gordon's glass in the later 90's. They were chunky, flat laid with 18" risers and the f...

Wasn't you Daryl, I just read it wrong sorry.

Jeff

The bow doesn't look to be a three piece with the limbs bolted on backwards to me but it is strung backwards and she is drawing it backwards. You would think they would check such things.

Daryl and Jeff I have always been open to anyone that has been open the making a donation to help run the site. Eddie Eddie, Please put up account details in a new post saying 'Donation details for Site Hosting Costs' or similar. If you don't wish to do that ask people who would like to donate to P...

I still come here and try to post on any topics that have been posted up. Thanks for all you do to keep Ozbow going; much appreciated Eddie. Perhaps put up a fund raiser such as a voluntary donation to keep the site going as there is a lot of valuable information stored within the forums. Sadly, I t...

My comment regarding the reflex being different in the limbs was because in the photo of the strung bow it looked like the reflex point was sharper on the top limb compared with the bottom. It may just be the angle of the photo. I would like to see a photo of it at full draw just to see the bend in ...

Good onya for making your own bow. A couple of observations, those limbs look uneven in the amount of reflex in each. Have you got a photo of the the bow at full draw? Another suggestion is to not have a square cut shelf like you have as when the riser (handle) flexes, and it will, it can cause it t...

G'day Nicholas, I refrained from replying as I am a novice self bow maker having only made a couple of Osage self bows which shoot just fine. One of my best mates was the late Dennis La Varenne, who IMO, was one of the very best self bow makers in the country. He used Alphitonia excelsa (Red Ash or ...

A silly idea and an ugly bow IMO. They don't even know the limb design, calling it a reflex/deflex rather then correctly calling it deflex/reflex design. Also when describing the bow at the beginning he says right hand but shows left handed and then left hand and shows right handed.

The American Longbow is not to be confused with what is now marketed as a modern longbow or hybrid longbow which is just modern marketing pseudo term for what was called a semi-recurve prior to the 90's. IFFA (The International Field Archery Association) does not recognize the modern or hybrid long...

I always used a back quiver for hunting and at archery ranges but as I got older I needed to carry more water when hunting and used a camelbak backpack water supply so had to use a different sort of quiver and ended up using a Fred Asbell quiver which is basically a bow quiver hung over the shoulder...

Yes I watched the video sometime in the last couple of months. A bit of an infomercial for the brand bows they are shooting really. Other than Ben the other archers were pretty much shooting equipment, and in a style, that is just so foreign to what the simple longbow represents, IMO. Rather than a ...

Interesting to see. With those light points and then the cello tape and other tape adding weight at the rear of the arrow you wouldn't think they would have much FOC. The cello tape wouldn't have the flex of feathers either. Not sure how long the cello tape would last. Perhaps the cost of importing ...

Yes I have seen people standing near the targets in different videos; not much room for error.

The Manchu bows performance was surprising indeed. If the bows in the video were in the 80# range they sure made it look easy drawing them too.

Jeff

Wow! I most certainly wouldn't have wanted to be one of those blokes at the target end. :o Some of the arrows looked large in diameter. 80 plus poundage bows are just too heavy; even when I shot hundreds of arrows a week back in the day I could never handle that sort of weight. Around 70# was my lim...

I wish all the members a Happy, Safe & Blessed Christmas!!!

Jeff

That's a hefty blade; nice work.

Jeff

Very good shooting for sure! He put one or two within a metre of the flag I take it but, the other arrows weren't far off either.

Jeff

Yeah Matt it doesn't take long for them to breed up and spread out to other areas.

Jeff

Yep and that is why Howard hill promoted Ben Pearson recurves at one time.

Jeff

Deer seem to be spreading out all over the country. We've seen Chital and Rusa knocked on the road up in North Queensland.

Jeff

That one looks better than the first one Daryl; the limbs look to have a good bend to them. As you say, with that string angle at your draw length, it would suit someone with a longer draw no worries. Nice work as usual too.
