Re: Feedback on tomahawk longbows?
I looked at them a few years ago and watched the clip on the 3Rivers website of the Tomahawk being put together and when the guy putting it together got out the rubber mallet and started belting it to get it to go together , I lost all interest. I had images of me on hunting trip and its over 40c in...

Re: Bow Finishes - Whats everyone using?
Hi Muz
Have a look in ..The Bowyers Bench.. section of Tradgang , it would be about year ago when the subject was on there.
They did some tests by coating bits of wood and then hitting it with rocks and it stood up pretty well apparently.
Let me know how you find the VHT.

Re: Bow Finishes - Whats everyone using?
On Tradgang in the US some guys have been using VHT Wheel Paint Gloss Clear
and they reckon its tough as hell.
You can buy it from Autobarn for about $15 a can, there is a Matte Clear as well.
I have bought a can, but have not been brave enough to try it yet .

Refinishing a bow
I was thinking about having a go at stripping of the finish on my Cascade longbow and applying a new one. Can anyone give me any tips about where to source the right coating and what is need to do the job and how to go about it.

Re: Creeping Quiver
That is the type I have and use the o'rings to hold in position. The Thunderhorn Boa seems to hold position better than my Selway quick detach, so I always use o'rings with the Selway.

I have super bright feathers and wraps, so I can find them once I have shot and missed :roll: . But I,m with Cadet and have always believed that birds see colors, so I cover my bright arrows when hunting. That's why flowers and fruits are bright colors to attract birds to eat them and spread pollen ...

Bow arm , hold up your bow without pulling back on the string but with a little bit of tension on it and roll your wrist, left and right and you will see what I mean.

I don't think you could bugger it anymore than what it already has been, but as with any wood laminate bow there is the risk that they will all eventually go bang. I would get the same glue used by Bowyers to glue laminations together and put masking tape over the holes on one side of the riser and ...

Hi Ben
Really good hunting trip always have a great time. It's a PCHX and the limbs have Olive Ash laminations in them. Spec's 54" and 53# and it has a low wrist grip that I really like. I got it 2nd hand from the Stickbow Classifieds in the US.
