great thread! makes me want to go dust off dads tools and see what he's got! hehe good pictures too. does it matter what type of wood you use for the handle?
cheers

shame the cobra is a LH otherwise i'd buy that for my brother =(

cheers guys really is the best spot lol
ole silver, i tried to get up close to the cows for pics... but for some reason the started to run away so of coarse i tried to run after them, but then they ran faster! wierd huh

oh my! i think thats the biggest thing i've ever seen!
good pics

i'm absolutely in love with our club grounds, so i thought i'd share some photo's i took early one mornin as well as a couple of me shooting

so cute!!!!! that first photo is great! i know how hard it is to catch the little ones in good poses (my baby cousin seems to always manage to move when i try and take one)
thanks for sharing

i rekon thats choice, dad said discusting, but either way

it is a bit of a shame we have to have these kind of arguments with people of conflicting views, i used to be against hunting, before i started archery and before i had ever met a hunter, or disscussed it with someone knowlegable. i think this is an important part of why some people feel the need to...

i only really wear this one hat, pretty much only when i'm out the club, although when i do wear it aroud my non-toxophilite mates, i get sum funny looks like i'm off tv (ignorance ) maybe its just teenagers hehe

thems some nice arras
nicely made mate

that is probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen!!! looks like she's raring to go,
thanks for sharing =D

for me, its the combo of getting out in the bush, a great, supportive, fun bunch of people, and the use of equipment that a machne didn't spit along with 1000 others exactly the same. its about apreciating the country and its people without all the other crap.
well thats my 2c =D

HAHA thats part of my release in my mouth, and thats my new bow, its 34# @ 24" bamboo backed . cant remember the name of the other wood. the poundage isn't to high, but she spits arras out real nice. Ron White made her for me =D
bandit

your deffinately not alone... i'm a little scared of home targets now as the first time i tried to use one i made myself, due to the low poundage of my bow, i ended up dodging arrows when they bounced off at me! dam those little buggers bounce off fast hehe

thats a nice little axe =D am gonna have to put a hold on things lol... in 2 months i've aquired 7 knives and 2 axes i tell yah the buggs got me
cheers,
bandit

i'm not too sure.. i'm doing year 12 this yr so its pretty full on but i'm gonna try and get to as many shoots around the place as i can =)

haha gav, i have a suzuki swift (06 model) fits all my gear pretty well.. will have to make a few road trips to sum shoots. =D

just had to boast as i'm so excited... got my red P's this morning! =D all you on the road beware! hehe

i'm in rathmines, we used to just go pretty close to here, had more luck with the crabs than fish, we went around pulbar island once.. didn't catch anything but saw a shark that was about 10-12 foot :shock: . parents sold our boat a while back as we werent getting much.. might have to nick someones ...

thats a nice fish! i'm a little jelous, the fishing here in lake maquarie was never great, well in my lifetime anyway hehe, i've been told it was good 30 years or so back. might have to go in search of a spot where you get fish like that
