Ozbow

I had issues with fletch cuts with my horsebows as well. I tried a glove but it really through me out - the feathers also cut through the glove after about a week. I have since raised my nocking point so that the arrow is pointing down slightly. This has not affected my grouping and I have not had a...

Me too, Yes please.

Cheers,
Tim

Well I have started my preparations for WAR! You'll need more then a shield to stop these 1000 grain puppies!! BWAAAHAHAHA

Thanks for the replys guys.

Archangel,
Garry's brother lives in Perth so it may be the same person. I have never shot Huon myself but I hear good things. It does make a gorgeous looking shaft. I have a few Huon shafts here that I will fletch and test out.

Cheers,
Tim

Recently Garry from a local club allowed me into his workshop for a bow buildalong. For the $30 spent on wood I walked away with a lovely white oak selfbow. As a way of saying thank you I have put together some new trad arrows for him. The shafts are handmade 23/64 hewn pine made by Garry's bro. I h...

Gav,

Hell Yes!!! Do you have any prices from this guy in Canada? Finances be damned.. I have been after one of these for a long time.

Cheers,
Tim

Here are a few examples that I have made. I have cut a section out of the "donor" feather and left the quill intact on the main.

Sorry the images are a bit out of order. These are just a few photos from a build-a-long I have been working on.

Cheers,
Tim

Yeah i can just imagine walking into woolies and being greeted by the young checkout chick/chump with somthing like that... or perhaps even a lip disc

I was very disappointed with it! I sat there staring at the screen like a stunned mullet after the whole Jackie Chan sword fight thing, slowly allowing the words "what the **** was that?!" to escape my mouth. What about the single sword thrown to the top of the castle and knocking out 2 gu...

Greetings all, I recently attended an SCA event over in Yass and observed their battles. Im hooked! Im now thinking about the required equipment to get involved myself. My question to you guys is: Since combat bows are limited at a max 30# @ 28" and need to cast a fairly heavy arrow with rather...

I just stumbled upon this and was absolutely fascinated with some of the images. I had to share! Make sure you check out the image gallery's associated with each section.

Got the bits and pieces (bodkins feathers silk and shafts) from Gav and Leigh at Wildwood archery

Leigh and Gav have bodkin points!? I gotta get me some!

Thanks Guys. Thats good to know Hun. Bob just gave me a call, seems like a nice bloke. I was looking at the bow when it was $400 + postage and "umm" and "arrrred" both times it was posted when he dropped the price it had to be mine! I had the sneak the bid in from work ;-) I love...

Its mine now

Ahh the waiting game.. hope its here soon!!

He re-listed it for $350 so I grabbed it.

Hey Guys! Its been a while I know. I am seeking some advice from the master bowyers out there. I have made a few selfbows & backed bows and am now looking to up the ante so to speak. Im looking at making a laminated longbow using (hopefully) purpleheart and bamboo. I was thinking of a bamboo bac...

Why I fired my secretary Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy Birthday!", and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, she barely said good morning, l...

I would really love to come along. Unfortunately the timing isn't so great. I am looking forward to the photos.. and perhaps video of the jousters...

Mick this is the view from the top of that hill around 50m passed the target. Nothing but bush and the Murrumbidgee River. The river looks much closer in the photo then it is. They also have flags that they post around just in case. There is an old trail behind that target that is very rarely used o...

Jeff: I believe its a Howard Hill. He told me the poundage but i cant remember.. i think it was around the #50 mark.

Mick:

When's the big interclub traditional shoot?

I didnt even know about this?? Perhaps you could give me an update hehe.

Cheers,
Tim

is it just me or did the photos vanish?

Here are a few pics of the new course. It is fantastic!

If your in the ACT get down to tuggers and check it out!

There are plans afoot to introduce a field course around the site as well.

Which opens today!! I might see you out there Buzz.

Congratulations!! I'm guessing you have started shopping for his first bow already?

Hey Guys, My Hun bow arrived late Friday afternoon, just in time for the weekend shoot. I am very happy with it! It looks great and the leather/stitching is first class. I love the horn on the siars and strikeplate. The bow is lovey and smooth all the way back to 50# and offers good performance to b...

Here are a few photos of us trad archers out and about with the Capital Field archers:

I'm looking and looking but cant find the post you are referring to, or one with pictures of your horsebows.

*GASP*

HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA

I have to admit i didn't pick it up straight away.. i was thinking to myself.. "what an unusual bow"

Mick that's been a dream of mine for a while as well. It would be great to have your own course setup. I would probably not shoot them in order just wander around.. sneak up and take those 3Ds by surprise hehe :) At this stage i cant find a nice bush block for sale that i can comfortably afford. I n...

I love the Windwalker! That is a seriously good looking bow.

I'm only guessing here but you want these for Kyudo? I used to have a ling to a site in the US that sold all that sort of gear but i cant find it. I did find a link while searching, although it is temp unavailable. http://www.kojikiarrow.com/ There is also this site: http://kyudo.tozando.com which h...
