Dear Fellow Toxophilites, I have just recently completed the "Bloody Track" Wow I still can't believe it. I trecked in the foot steps of my Uncle Ron who was part of the 39th battalion "D" company that gave Nippon curry at the battale of Isurava. I only had 6 weeks training and r...

Len, Morgan, Marty, Moi.

I wear proudly the cross of St George on my right arm. The red legs stained from the blood of my French Foe. Yeah! well then there's the arming cap (hat). Ive got to do something with that??

"D" shape S/B I like it!

Huzzah!

Hey Ho Derry Doll!! Ive the only Yew bow in the village? Although the yew missed the target a few times. Still, I love the challenge and the spirit of my new mates in the Trad fraturnity. Well done Leigh & Gav. I felt quite close to my forebears with the west wind whistling up my braes!! Huzzah!...

who shrunk as first signs of our swords.
they turned up their nose at out striking gaye hoise
transfixed by the size of our ghords.

I'm ready, look'n forward to troop the colours and bend the bow.

Northwest Archery in the states do some nice work. Suzanne St James is her name. I have had some of her work and she is very good. Its just the exchange rates and postage that kills you. Suzanne is the daughter of Glenn St Charles a great and noted legend in the bowyer fraturnity in America. and is ...

Hi Cindy, Arrow cresting does have a long and historic past. In as much as Knights painted their family crest on their sheilds, an archer would mark his arrows to make them stand out against others. This became more popular as archery tournaments replaced battles and archery grew as a sport through ...

Yep, I would recommend the Casey Tru Oil. Just a quick rub down with the fine steel wool, splash some on a rag wipe on wipe off. Tiz great and Jay St Charles recommends it for his Pacific Yew bows one of which I have.

Cheers

Hi Jape, Good questions. Is it to the left or right? Are you shooting traditional? no sights etc? The intent as you may know of windows and shelves being cut into the risers of a bow is to help with the paradox. Long ago we didn't have that option and I'm sure my bow bending buddies will agree. As w...

Fom East & from West, assembled the best of Archer & Bowman alike. Whence down in Geelong the stik shooter's throng, disturbing a circling Kite. Shooting the mark around the fine park, took toll on each tally and pride. Along in a line t'was Battle Clout time, Red vs Blue side by side. Somet...

Huzzah!!! I'm so excited I had to put into words my feelings!! To him be the glory who tug's the flax cord. Who lets loose fletched battles toward Frances accord. and stands braced for ambush mongst sharpened end pike. Shoulder to shoulder "For God and my Right" If death stands before him,...

Hi Leigh, A leaf from your book practice, practice and then more practice. I have even been training with the bow at night, just drawing and letting down. building up the back muscles. It's definatly noticable as you increase in bow poundage the time it takes to settle into a new bow weight and new ...

I'm lovin this site, Great photos Guy's. I am so disappointed I chose not to wear the kit.
Next time, we will try and organise a whack & crack demo Hoping my fellow Knight club buddies will help out.
Huzzah!

By God you guy's have got some good idea's this year. I applaude the intensity of enthusiasm, and hope and pray all comes to fruition. Yes. I do talk funny, but only when the meade takes hold and my persona steels my soul for a moment. Look for the bloke in the red hoise and green and white tunic, a...

Well Met, For I shall come to this gathering sporting the mighty Yew. I shall clad myself in the green and whyte and don thy feathered cap of the Vintinier. Thus I spake, challenge thou jest, then challenge shall be thou judgment. For the men of Cheshire knowst No defeat, and No surrender! Arrogance...
