Does anyone have any knowledge of Fred Bilney

I was wondering if anyone has any information about a gentleman going by the name of " Fred Bilney".
All I can find out about him, is that he may have come from Victoria and was an archer/ bowhunter during the late 50's and 60's.
Thanks.

Re: Bowhunters that build their own Broadheads.

G'day Rod,
These are a few of different size, weight and thickness tie-on blades that I have made over the years.
Because of their cheapness and ease of production, they were mainly used on small game, but I admit, a few were kept as back-up on pigs.(the bigger blade)
ok, Bill.

I'm so very, very sad to hear the news of Dennis.
It was a few months back that I last talked to him.
He said he was fine a bit on the light weight side of 45kgs.
I had planned to visit him again in the new year.
But now.
Thanks for letting us know Jeff.
