Ozbow

Rob, are those tracers the commercial ones or home made. I'm a fan of seeing my arrows in flight but even bigger fan of keeping my arrows flying well regardless of weather... i treat them and at the first sign of inclement weather opt for an Arrowmaster or Bower side quiver w/fletch cover over my b...

fellow trad ganger larry smeen and i put together this footage last year. it shows me using my unistrut endless jig to spin up a 2 color, 60-1/4", 8 strand bcy dyneema'02 (hmpe), padded loop (dacron), skinny string for my 62" 55# mohawk longbow. some video caveats ... this is an uncut, une...

There are more than a few viable ways to build a unistrut one arm endless string jig. This article addresses how I built a pair of them, and to introduce the concept of using unistrut for the jig body and using one jig arm instead of two. I've been using one arm endless string jigs since the early 6...

terry, the key to all bowstrings fitting a bow well is their initial length. too long, twist up. too short, remove twists. if the string is flemish, removing too many twists can be a structural integrity issue. if the string is endless, you can remove all the twists and the string will work ok, but ...

thanx mate, ships out today!

Here ya go mates, the Instinctive Archer Magazine cd for $21/usd shipped to Australia! Instinctive Archer Magazine was offered from 1996 thru 2001 - 22 issues in total. Once it went out of circulation, I decided that it was just too good a traditional archery/bowhunting periodical to let fade away ...

G'day Rob, I reckon your arrows would make me sneeze if I shot them, and that wouldn't be pretty! Just ask poor Tony! Cheers, Ben hey ben, what you been up to? :mrgreen: waiting on a coupla longbows - hill big5 and a miller ol' tom ... the hill will arrive in time the spring hog hunt down in the ca...

though i have no problem bareshafting arrows to fly well, i still want enuf fletching to insure that a not-so-good release can get corrected. out in the bush - cold muscles, cold air, hot and sticky, bad shooting position, whatever nastiness abounds - all of that and tons more can mess up a well int...

as i see it, like tradgang, ozbow is a 101% trad bowhunting website and there is no want or need to promote other forms of weaponry. the focus should be kept to stick bows, so that the conversation doesn't veer off to matters which don't pertain to the goals of the website. there are oodles of other...

"string twist to brace height ratio"? never heard of such a thing, and i've been pulling longbow and recurve strings since '55. it's important that a bowstring have some minimum number of twists in it for "rounding off". this is particularly true for endless spun strings, and not...

i like both woodies and carbons. each have their place for trad bowhunting and my longbows. 8) i use a dremel w/carbide wheel. using a saw blade can leave carbon "splinters". after noting the cut length on the shaft with a pencil, i dremel off about .125" in front of the cut mark, the...

You sound pretty impressed with with woodie hex pines. I've never had anything to do with them. What are they like? G'Day Mick! Welp, hex pines are built like a good bamboo fly rod, with six glued up pie wedge cross sections of lodgepole pine ... http://www.hexshaftarrows.com/images/regular_arrow.j...

Cheers to the "Down Under" crew for creating a super trad cyber camp!
