Re: Black Widow PTF recurve

Wow!

A truly beautiful bow.

Alas 10-15lbs too much otherwise I would have this in a heartbeat.

Hi Dean, Yes welcome to the forum. It is much quieter than it has historically been and I am guilty of not visiting as much as I used to.

Re: Rock Python Competition Longbow New $650 pickup

Thanks Guys,

Appreciate the replies and the options.

Must admit that sending it just wrapped in cardboard and bubble wrap does give me heart palpitations even if insured.

I guess if someone wanted it sent I could cross that hurdle when I get to it.

Re: Rock Python Competition Longbow New $650 pickup

Price Change - guys.

I really do not want to get into the whole postage thing for a longbow. I just don't know where to start.

$650 for pick up or for you to arrange collection.

Thanks for looking.

Re: Do we have any fixed crawlers on the site???

It can be quite confusing both finding and then comparing the information for Barebow Recurve between the various associations. For longbow it seems to be fairly consistent that a finger be touching the arrow nock. In some cases a Mediterranean release is also required. I am trying to get a handle o...

Re: Black Hunter Longbow on Ebay

Must say they look like they are even length to me.

Not sure the quality but my guess (unsubstantiated) is that if you aren't going to overdraw it you'll probably get some decent service out of it.

Still, probably best not to get too attached to it :lol:

Re: how to stop gap shooting ???

LOL. I'm trying to stop from shooting instinctive.

As soon as I draw the bow back the instinctive shot cycle takes over and away it goes.

I pay attention for the first couple of shots but then it is auto pilot again.

So I'm feeling your pain....in reverse.

Hey thanks Rob.

That is definitely a help. Give me a great starting point to get some more information.
