Re: 3 Rivers

Have Bought Off John At AMSO
I think its easier and better that direct
(well for me anyway) as he carries the liability of shipping
to Oz (mighty nice of him to do so)
so in the end there is minimal risk
and He's also very good to deal with

Do you have to have feathers or can you bare shaft ?
Youre not looking for accuracy just distance right?

Whats wrong with carbon ? isn't wood carbon based ? I shoot carbon and alloy, I like them both but the alloys do make a ringing sound when shot, the weighted carbons shoot well and pack a thump.

there was an article in the Land the other week where it stated the Greens have a policy to ban Rodeo's and hunting. Also Live export of animals
which after seeing what some countries do to them and how we have treated some exported animals in the past I almost agree with.
