Ozbow

I know that Howard Hill was able to, and did, switch between vastly different bows for different hunting situations. All he needed was a few shots with a bow and he was "hitting'em like Howard Hill" again. I think that for consistancy, especially for those who don't shoot that often and pl...

Thanks a lot fellas. Stax of suggestions. We have some of them on the agenda already but there are a bunch that sound like a great idea. I have found the address and a number for top end bowhunters so I'll just make a call when I get up there. Now, to arrange bow transportation. Thanks again. Much a...

Hey all. My family and I are going to be in and around Darwin from the 30th May till the 9th June. We're gonna be in Darwin with friends for the first few days but we are willing to go about as far as Katherine after that. I was wondering if there were any activities, places, or experiences that any...

Thanks for posting the excellent Pics ET. I've really enjoyed them.

I was wondering what poundage you're taking those pigs with as I'm heading up to Darwin soon and I was wondering if I should bother taking my bow.

Regards.

Oliver.

For those interested the bow ended up going for $793 AU (inc postage)

I was willing to go to $650

Excellent Job troy.

Could you please post a pic of how you've attached that head to a shaft.

That would be great.

Regards.

Oliver.

The site won't work for me.

I get to the homepage fine.

When I click on any of the forum links I'm just greeted by a blank screen.

Am I doing something wrong.

Regards.

Oliver.

Hi all. Dennis this is for you in particular. I have a fiberglass semi-recurve hunk-a-junk that I picked up from a mate for $15. I made another handle for it and I put the shelf in the exact centre of the bow (between tips). The handshock on this baby is incredible and after reading your post I was ...

HI all. First of all thankyou for the comprehensive replies. They are exactly what I was looking for. (any other advice is still more than welcome) Sparra: Thanks mate I did notice it was left handed. So am I ! Mick: Thanks Mick I have done extensive dealings on ebay in the past and I have always wa...

There's a bow I'm looking at on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330078303274&rd=1&rd=1 I was wondering what anyone had to say about it. Buy it or not ? The seller seems to have good feedback. Thankyou. R...

Beautiful mate.

Hope to get into the building side of things soon and this certainly does a great job of inspiring me.

What materials did you use ?

Regards.

Oliver.

Yes, now that you mention it Daryl he did have rubber strips to add pull. The shot was made at about 2.5m and the shark was floating belly up within 5 seconds. How effective are spear guns ?

I have been a great fan of howard hill ever since I bought the dvd "the last wilderness" very early on in my time in archery. Since then I have bought all of his released dvd's ,tembo, hunting and fishing with the bow and arrow, and, Howard Hill's greatest. I also have both of his books , ...

Howard Hill did that and he shot a shark !

I've got the footage on one of his DVD's

Oliver.

thanks for your help mick.

I understand your decision about arrows I must get more into the traditional side of archery soon.

Regards.

Oliver.

thanks fellas for your help. most recently I've used 5 minute araldite but it just doesn't cut it. I'll try loctite on some shafts and 24 hour araldite and see what happens. Mick. How do you suggest I roughen up the inside of the shaft. Just a bit of sandpaper ? how coarse ? thanks agaain. Regards. ...

Hi all.

I know that most of you are trad shooters but I couldn't get an account to work on Aussie bowhunter so I'm asking here.

What do you guys use to glue your inserts into your carbon shafts. I have tried numerous adhesives but none have worked efficiently at all.

Thanks.

Oliver.

Sorry for that mistake fellas.

That's just what I gathered from the post on aussiebowhunter. I musn't have read it carefully enough.

That fact makes this case so much more ridiculous. Thanks for clearing it up.

Regards.

Oliver.

There are two debates here. One: Ethical. Whether it was right for chris to shoot a cat when he wasn't 100 percent sure it was a feral. Arguments for are that it wasn't desexed, didn't have a collar or a chip Arguments against are that he was close to houses and had no definite way of knowing if it ...

Pity it isn't a lower poundage hey !

I was thinking about buying a coyote for a while until I searched the net for reviews. No one has anything good to say about it.

Oliver.

DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN.

Oh well I guess that's what happens when you don't check up on ozbow for a few days hey ?

Hope she serves you well Fista.

Oliver.

Hey fellas. I love Judos. I've done pretty much the same thing as mick with them but with a milk carton (though I think I used a tennis ball once) With my compound I find them to be effective on rabbits. The first Judo-bunny collision broke the bunnies neck and my second bunny the shot was a bit low...

Yeah AntMob I have read the power of one . That was the book I was referring to as what really got me into reading. It remains my favourite book. Funnily enough I've also read ,my side of the mountain, it's a great book and really captures what I think we all see as what would be the ideal simple li...

Hi all. I was wondering how the bows feel when they shoot. With some of the models they seem to have very heavy limb tips and I was wondering how this would affect the shooting. Does it mean the bow kicks more ? I really like the look of that scythian bow. I'm still looking for a good recurve. How d...

I love Bryce cortenay. I've just finished reading his latest book whitethorn (last night) and I loved it. His most successful book, The power of one, was the first BIG book I ever read and it really got me into reading. Another good book by him is April fools day. I'ts the biography of his son who d...

My first hunt was spotlighting at my mates place up the east coast of tassie. The first time was about a year ago and his dad was the only one using the gun but since then I've returned many times and harvested a lot of game spotlighting. I had always wanted to go hunting and since starting archery ...

If it shoot's anything like an armstrong carbon backed longbow it will shoot like a full blown bushfire. It's great to see more bowyers heading in the way of carbon. Any advancement made that gives us a greater range of choice in our prospective bows is a good thing in my eyes. Look forward to heari...

This is a great idea mick. It would make it so much easier to browse and to find the info that you want. Instead of splitting traditional tackle up perhaps we could just introduce some new forums to handle things like, as mick suggested, bow making, arrow making, and maybe tackle itself could be mod...

Thanks fellas.

How do I contact Hoddywells ?
