Thanks jeff, i had thought of giving the 190's a go because i heard you mention them on here once before. Can i ask why everyone wants around the 10% mark, i understand about penetration on game and such, want as much weight as is practical, but are there any other advantages. I use the 125's only f...

I just tried working out my FOC on 2 arrows. Both are 32 inches long. 1 has a 125grn ribby and the other has a 145 grn ribby. I get 2 and a quarter inches forward of centre on the 145 for about 7% and 1 and 3 quarters forward of centre on the 125 for about 5.5%. Does this sound about right. Just for...

Happy b'day mate

You could inlay two bolts as described above and use the other two(cut down in lengh) to fasten the scales on the handle.

I don't know about this one it's hard isn't it. When out hunting i see the destruction of ferel cats as a duty toward the preservation of native australian wildlife, but cats are pets too and some people love them. I think the tone of video is a little "off" and may upset some people, the ...

Thanks hellier will give it a try Yes the shb is pretty good, i just bought a samick longbow too, havn't shot it yet, but i have heard some good abought them and some bad. It looks a bit over engineered if you know what i mean, not like the curves which can be a little graceful in some models

Mick Got my boker of ebay, came dry shaving sharp straight from the box, good balance nice and light( i am a chef and like light knives always have) It shoots very well for a cheapy. Graham cash had a shot with it the other week and he liked it :D got him hankering for the curve again i think. But e...

Thanks jeff

They are literally deafening some times but they love those flowers, sometimes i think they get a bit of a kick out of them or something. The trees sort of hang over and next to my verandah so lucky they only come in for about an hour every afternoon. Do you know what kind of bird the other one is, ...

Nicer looking. Ours seem to look a lot meaner do yours get good hooks on them like ours?

Bow is a Samick shb 1 piece recurve 50# at 28. Yes the knife is a Boker or (tree brand) and i realy like it,might be more utility than skinner but it's good all the same. The camera i am using is a Fuji s 5500, 4 mega pixel, 10x zoom.

Not really about hunting or bows, just wanted to have a go at postin some pics on the forum to try and get it right. And i like takin pics.

The top coats of clear are just a wattyl estapol. Will that make a difference do you think.

Thanks
Dan

Thanks for the advice, i will use araldite.

Thanks
Dan

This has probably been covered before, but i use loctite 406 for flectching but i have heard others using different glue for nocks and field points and broadheads.

So my question is can you use loctite for nocks and points or is there something better.

Thanks in advance
Dan

thanks for the advice jeff. Just have to save me pennys and buy some good stuff.

I rang them they have quit a range. There retail shop number is 32031323 Grade A bag leather is $106 per sq/m other grades ,b,c Down to about $90 But the interesting one is the belly leather at 3mm thick, you get a whole belly for $44, the lady tells me they call it football leather, it is more supp...

Thanks jeff i will get in touch with them, and post prices for anyone else that is interested.

Dan

Thanks alot jeff i will. I just went out to keith for some shafts last week, nice guy, very helpfull he even tapered my shafts for me. He said i should talk to you about setting up my jig properly for helical flectching. And yes i am interested in the contact for leather, i am a bit loath to buy a w...

QLD mate. I shoot out at the ABA on the way hervey bay.
Thanks for the info on the leather, by chance do you know of a local supplier at all.
Dan

What sort of thickness leather would you use for a back quiver. The most redilly available is between .6 and 1.5 mil but that seems a bit thin to me. I want to make a quiver that will colapse a bit to form to my back but i'm abit worried that extended use with broadheads will eventually cut through ...
