Re: Offset silencers

G'day Bstan76, Its called Heterodyning... I use 1/4 from top and 1/3 from bottom. Just keeps the cats whiskers slightly further away from face. Will work either way.

Re: Black Palm Raptor

Got to love the grain combination in the palm timber. Been out ripping into a pole today and made up some veneers. Don't think it will turn out as dark as this beauty though.

Re: new ABA rules on aluminium arrows?

I was reading through the ABA rules posted and it states that Traditional division must be shot using the ‘Mediterranean’ loose. I see plenty of people getting all geared up to shoot trad but then go and shoot three fingers under. Which puts them straight into "Modern Longbow". I've explai...

Re: Trad Fox Double

Sweeeeeet, only ever done that once, years ago but with wheels.

Shows you what a razor sharp broadhead can do with that low shot.

I'm looking forward to when it starts warming up and they start responding to the whistle again. Not long.....

Good job

Hey Ranger, I found him sleeping and that's where he stayed. I cut over a "S" bend in a dry feeder creek and he was sleeping in the sand 12m below me. I ducked down behind the crest, nocked an arrow, stepped forward and shot. All happened in about 5 secs. Got him down through the front of ...

Cheers People, I skinned and salted the dog and will endeavour to tan it down the track. Not sure if it will go on the wall or be made into a quiver. Either way it will be a reminder of my first kill with my bow.

Blooded new bow

Took the new bow for a drive up to our goat property. Lots of water around and heaps of feed. Not many opportunities unfortunately, plus wild dogs have moved in and are giving them a flogging. I managed a wild dog at 12m in a cool dry creek. He didn't move from his bed. The 220gn Outback destroyed h...

Re: String performance

Hi Stu Ballz, I read a post on here a while back about the placement of your string silencers. Tried searching for it but couldn't find it. The basic idea is that they are placed at different distances so they cancel out different frequencies. This is the first time I've tried it this way. The bow i...

So in between sipping soup and taking panadol forte I've been reading lots on string performance verses the number of strands. As I wanted to make a new string for the bow I just fin...
