Re: Snakeskin backing
It may be prudent to ascertain if the seller has all the necessary paperwork/documentation to export the skins into Australia, but there may be no guarantee that bio security will not impound them. https://ozbow.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16543&p=170333 https://platinumfreight.com.au/blo...

Re: Looking for advice-Best Arrow for traditional target shooting
Hi Cathey, Perhaps it may pay to contact Bear Paw and find out if their one piece bows are suited to string walking. Being a one piece bow it would most likely have a positive tiller. It would appear that string walking archers prefer a three piece recurve bow so they can adjust the tiller to suit t...

Re: New Indoor Arrow Backstop.
Jeff,
The cardboard and styrene on the outer is to catch the odd stray arrow when setting up the shooting machine for testing different bow weights, arrow mass and measuring velocity.
The 30cm deep void is filled with wetsuit off cuts and can handle heavier weight bows.

The bow arrived and it appears to be in quite good condition. Right handed its draw weight is 45# not 50# as in my original post.

Hi Alex,
You could try Ausbow Industries. https://www.ausbow.com.au/bowmaking
In the past he was more expensive than importing supplies from the USA but with a poorly performing AU dollar and high international shipping costs he may be competitive.

From enquiries, the bow was made using Permex pultruded glass.
I have been house bound recovering from a nasty bug so another week or so before I pick up the bow.
